pp-weather-goat
Use this skill whenever the user asks about weather, forecasts, temperature, rain, storms, severe weather alerts, air quality, pollen, UV, or wants an activity recommendation (can I walk / bike / hike / commute / drive given the weather). Weather CLI powered by Open-Meteo (global, no auth, unlimited) + NWS (US severe weather). No API key. Triggers on phrasings like 'what's the weather', 'is it going to rain today', 'any storms coming', 'should I bike to work', 'how's the air quality', 'compare NYC and LA weather this weekend', 'is this unusually hot for April'.
Why this skill is useful
Adds unique commands for weather activity recommendations and alerts that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires weather-goat-pp-cli installed locally. About 6k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Weather GOAT — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the weather-goat-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: weather-goat-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Reach for this when a user wants a weather lookup, storm or alert check, air-quality read, activity recommendation (bike, hike, walk, commute, drive) based on current conditions, or a "is today normal for this time of year" comparison. Particularly valuable as a morning-briefing source with weather-goat-pp-cli (no args → current + today's forecast + active alerts for your configured home location). Don't reach for this when the user needs hyperlocal or commercial-grade meteorology (use a paid provider like Tomorrow.io or ECMWF), or for international severe-weather alerts (NWS is US-only). Unique Capabilities Activity verdicts — the differentiator go walk bike hike commute drive [location] — GO / CAUTION / STOP verdict for a specific activity, with reasoning. …
