Air Quality

Q: How do I know the Air Quality output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The band appears with the number — never a bare AQI value; US vs European AQI is disambiguated; The read addresses the stated activity, not generic health advice; Timing questions get the hourly series, not a single reading.

Check live air quality anywhere with zero API keys — Open-Meteo's air-quality API via curl, decoded from raw PM2.5 and AQI numbers into what they mean for going outside. Use when asked what's the air quality, is it safe to run outside, AQI in my city, or pollution levels right now. Produces the current AQI and pollutant levels, the plain-language health read with the standard bands, and the rerunnable command.

What to give it

▸Location — lat/lon or a place name (geocode first: `https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search?name=Delhi&count=1`)

▸The decision behind the question — a run, a bike commute, a sensitive-lungs household, open windows — the read is calibrated to it

▸Which index they think in — US AQI or European AQI (the API serves both; the numbers differ substantially for the same air)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The band appears with the number — never a bare AQI value

✓US vs European AQI is disambiguated

✓The read addresses the stated activity, not generic health advice

✓Timing questions get the hourly series, not a single reading

✓The modeled-data caveat appears when precision matters

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not answer from memory — fetch or hand over the command

Do not mix up the two AQI scales — a European 80 and a US 80 are different airs

Do not medicalize — bands and general guidance, with sensitive cases routed to official sources

Do not judge a whole day by one hour when the question is "when"

Do not dump all pollutants undigested — lead with the one the question is about
