Pull the current Hacker News front page, top comments, or a topic search with zero API keys — the official Firebase API and Algolia search via curl, digested instead of dumped. Use when asked what's on Hacker News, summarize HN today, what's the discussion on this story, or has HN covered some topic. Produces a ranked digest with scores and comment counts, the discussion's actual argument threads when asked, and the rerunnable commands.

Look up IP addresses and your own public IP with zero API keys — geolocation, ISP/ASN, and hosting flags via ip-api.com and ipify through curl. Use when asked what's my public IP, where is this IP from, whose network is this address, or is this IP a VPN/datacenter. Produces the lookup with ISP, ASN, and location fields interpreted honestly (city-level accuracy caveats included), and the rerunnable command.

Query DNS records and domain registration data with zero API keys — DNS-over-HTTPS via dns.google and domain registration via RDAP, through plain curl. Use when asked what does this domain resolve to, check the MX or TXT records, who registered this domain, when does it expire, or has DNS propagated. Produces the records decoded (SPF/DKIM/DMARC read, not just dumped), the registration facts from RDAP, and the rerunnable commands.

Fetch and digest any RSS or Atom feed with zero API keys — curl plus disciplined parsing into a ranked, deduplicated briefing instead of a link dump. Use when asked summarize this feed, what's new on this blog, digest these RSS feeds, or build me a morning briefing from these sources. Produces the digest with dates and one-line what-it-is summaries, cross-feed dedup, and the rerunnable commands per feed.

Answer 'is this site down or is it just me' properly — curl status/timing diagnostics, DNS cross-check, and TLS certificate reads, assembled into a where-it's-broken diagnosis. Use when asked is this website down, why can't I reach this site, check if my site is up, or is the SSL certificate expired. Produces the layered diagnosis (DNS → TLS → HTTP → content), response timing, cert expiry, and the rerunnable commands.

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.

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.

Get current weather and forecasts with zero API keys — wttr.in one-liners for humans, Open-Meteo JSON for data, with the exact curl commands and format codes. Use when asked what's the weather, will it rain today, forecast for a city, or get me weather data for a location. Produces the live conditions or forecast pulled via curl, interpreted plainly, with the source timestamp and the command used shown so the user can rerun it.

Get the current time anywhere and convert between time zones with zero API keys — timeapi.io via curl (worldtimeapi fallback), plus the DST-safe meeting-window math. Use when asked what time is it in a city, convert 3pm my time to Tokyo, find a meeting slot across time zones, or what's the UTC offset somewhere. Produces the local time(s), the conversion with DST handled by the API not by memory, and the overlap window for scheduling questions.

Get sunrise, sunset, golden hour, day length, and moon phase for any location with zero API keys — sunrise-sunset.org and Open-Meteo via curl, times converted to local. Use when asked when is sunset today, golden hour for a photo shoot, how long is the day, what's the moon phase tonight, or sun times for a date and place. Produces the sun/moon times in the user's local zone (the UTC trap handled), the photography windows, and the rerunnable command.

Fetch Wikipedia's current summary of any topic with zero API keys — the REST summary endpoint via curl, for answers that need today's article rather than training-data memory. Use when asked what does Wikipedia say about X, get me the current summary of a topic, check a fact against Wikipedia, or has this article changed. Produces the live extract with the article link, disambiguation handling, and a clean separation between what Wikipedia says and what the model adds.

Fetch live cryptocurrency prices with zero API keys — CoinGecko's public endpoints primary, Coinbase spot fallback, via plain curl. Use when asked what's bitcoin at, ETH price in euros, how's the crypto market today, or price of some altcoin. Produces the current price with 24h context, the source and timestamp, the rerunnable command, and the volatility caveat that crypto answers must carry.

Get live scores, schedules, and standings for major leagues with zero API keys — ESPN's public JSON endpoints via curl, covering NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and world football. Use when asked what's the score, did my team win, today's games, or league standings right now. Produces the scores with game state (live/final/scheduled), the asked-team answer first, and the rerunnable command — with the unofficial-API caveat stated.

Convert currencies and fetch live exchange rates with zero API keys — Frankfurter (ECB rates) primary, open.er-api.com fallback, via plain curl. Use when asked convert 500 dollars to euros, what's the USD-INR rate, how much is this in my currency, or historical exchange rate for a date. Produces the conversion with the rate and its date quoted, the rerunnable command, and the not-a-trading-quote caveat.

Track live aircraft positions with zero API keys — adsb.lol's open ADS-B network primary, OpenSky fallback, via curl: by callsign, registration, or area. Use when asked where is this flight right now, what planes are overhead, track a tail number, or is that flight in the air. Produces the live position with altitude, speed, and heading interpreted, the overhead list for a location, and the rerunnable command — with the positions-not-schedules boundary stated honestly.

Check a package's health before you depend on it — npm and PyPI registry APIs via keyless curl: downloads, release recency, maintenance signals, and the dependency-decision read. Use when asked is this npm package maintained, check this PyPI library before we adopt it, compare these two packages, or is this dependency abandoned. Produces the health read with the signals interpreted (not just listed), the numbers with their commands, and the adopt/avoid/vendor recommendation framing.

Fetch a stock quote snapshot with keyless curl — Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint, read with the discipline unofficial market data demands: timestamped, delayed-flagged, and never advice. Use when asked what's this stock at, how did the market do today, get me a ticker's recent range, or pull basic price history. Produces the quote with change and range context, the source-honesty caveats (unofficial, possibly delayed), the rerunnable command, and a hard no-advice line.

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.

Check recent earthquakes worldwide with zero API keys — USGS real-time GeoJSON feeds via curl, filtered by magnitude, region, and time window. Use when asked was there an earthquake just now, recent quakes near a place, any big earthquakes today, or monitor seismic activity somewhere. Produces the matching events with magnitude, depth, location and time, the felt/damage context bands, and the rerunnable command — with the official-guidance line safety questions require.

Look up word definitions, pronunciation, etymology and synonyms with zero API keys — the Free Dictionary API via curl, with honest handling of words it doesn't know. Use when asked define a word, how do you pronounce this, what's the origin of a word, or synonyms for something. Produces the definition set organized by part of speech, IPA pronunciation with audio link, and the rerunnable command — with the model's own knowledge clearly separated from the fetched source.

Read a GitHub repository's vital signs with keyless curl — commit recency, release cadence, issue/PR responsiveness, and bus factor — interpreted into an is-this-project-alive verdict. Use when asked is this repo maintained, check this project before we build on it, how active is this library's development, or compare these repos' health. Produces the vitals with their reads, the responsiveness sampling, the rate-limit-aware command set, and the alive/coasting/abandoned verdict.
