Public Holidays

Q: How do I know the Public Holidays output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The specific question is answered before any list appears; Regional (`global: false`) holidays are labeled with their regions, never presented as national; Non-public `types` are filtered or labeled when "day off" is the question; Local names appear alongside English.

Look up public holidays for any country and year with zero API keys — the Nager.Date API via curl, with long-weekend detection and cross-country planning. Use when asked what are the holidays in a country, is date X a holiday somewhere, find long weekends this year, or which days is the team in Japan and Germany both off. Produces the holiday list with local names, the specific-date answer, long-weekend candidates, and the rerunnable command.

What to give it

▸Country (or countries) — ISO two-letter codes resolved from names; multi-country questions are batched, one call each

▸Year — default the current year; "next 12 months" spans two calls

▸The real question — a specific date, planning a trip, scheduling around a team, or hunting long weekends — the output shapes to it

✅ 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 specific question is answered before any list appears

✓Regional (`global: false`) holidays are labeled with their regions, never presented as national

✓Non-public `types` are filtered or labeled when "day off" is the question

✓Local names appear alongside English

✓Multi-country answers show the intersection/union the question implied

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not answer from memory — holiday rules change and lunar dates move; fetch or hand over the command

Do not present a regional holiday as nationwide — the `global` flag exists to be read

Do not count observances as days off

Do not dump 15 holidays when the question was one date

Do not promise a workplace is closed — public holidays and company calendars are cousins, not twins
