ISS Tracker

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-07-18 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-live

Track the International Space Station live with keyless curl — where it is right now, what it's over, and when to look up, with the orbital math translated into human terms. Use when asked where is the ISS right now, is the space station overhead, when can I see the ISS tonight, or track the station for the kids. Produces the live position translated to a place name, the overhead-math explained, the visibility rules of thumb, and the rerunnable command — the library's proof that live data can also just be delightful.

What to give it

Nothing, for "where is it" — that's the beauty; fetch and answer
A location, for "is it near me / when can I see it" — city or lat/lon, for the distance math and the visibility read
The audience — a curious adult and a seven-year-old deserve different sentences; this skill calibrates joyfully either way

✅ 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 position is translated to a named place, direction included when two fetches allow
Fetched data and stable facts are labeled as what they are
Visibility answers teach the three conditions, never fake a pass time
Location-given answers include the horizon verdict, honest either way
The tone matches the audience — wonder is in-spec here

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not answer position from memory — it moved 8 km while you read this sentence, which is the point
Do not dump raw coordinates as the answer — the translation is the skill
Do not invent pass times — rules of thumb yes, timetables need real propagation, say so
Do not confuse overhead with visible — the sunlight condition is the teach
Do not flatten the fun — this skill is allowed to be delighted; precision and joy aren't rivals
