- Get weather forecasts via Open-Meteo API (free, no API key). Use when: user asks about weather, temperature, rain probability, UV index, wind, or forecasts for any location. Provides current conditions, hourly forecasts, and 7-day daily forecasts with precipitation probability, feels-like temp, UV index, sunrise/sunset. Also generates Weather Strip SVG widget for the daily digest. Default weather skill — replaces wttr.in.
Open-Meteo Weather
Free weather API. No API key needed. Returns JSON.
Scripts
weather.sh — Raw JSON Forecast Data

- Cloud cover area graph (semi-transparent, 0-100%)
- Rain amount bar graph (opaque light blue, 0-2 in/hr scale, shown when rain prob >50%)
- Rain probability line overlay
- UV index bar (yellow/orange/red at UV 3+)
- Sky gradient background (sky blue day → navy night, smooth sunrise/sunset transitions)
- Moon phase icon at sunset
- Fixed scrubber bar with scroll-to-read tooltip (shows all metrics)
- Multi-city support with time-range scheduling
- Fixed 0-110°F temperature scale
- 7-day daily forecast strip below hourly

ranges: list of["start_iso", "end_iso"]pairs (hour-level precision, skips transit gaps)dates: list of"YYYY-MM-DD"strings (whole days, simpler)
Output: Without --output, prints embeddable <div> to stdout. With --output, writes a full standalone HTML page.
Digest Integration
The digest app reads static/weather-strip.html and includes it at the top of each digest page.
Regenerate daily as part of morning digest generation:
- Generate weather strip →
static/weather-strip.html - If travel scheduled, use
--schedulewith time ranges - Default: SF single-location
