# Silo — Grain Storage Reference

Quick-reference skill for grain silo types, storage management, and post-harvest quality preservation.

## When to Use

- Selecting silo types for different grains and capacities
- Managing grain moisture, temperature, and aeration
- Planning fumigation and pest control in stored grain
- Understanding silo safety hazards and prevention
- Calculating storage capacity and filling procedures

## Commands

### `intro`

```bash
scripts/script.sh intro
```

Overview of grain storage — silo types, capacity, and basic principles.

### `moisture`

```bash
scripts/script.sh moisture
```

Moisture management — safe storage levels, drying, and equilibrium moisture.

### `aeration`

```bash
scripts/script.sh aeration
```

Aeration systems — fan sizing, airflow patterns, cooling strategies.

### `pests`

```bash
scripts/script.sh pests
```

Stored grain pests — insects, fungi, rodents, and control methods.

### `fumigation`

```bash
scripts/script.sh fumigation
```

Fumigation procedures — phosphine, heat treatment, and safety protocols.

### `capacity`

```bash
scripts/script.sh capacity
```

Storage capacity calculations — bin dimensions, bushel conversions, test weight.

### `safety`

```bash
scripts/script.sh safety
```

Silo safety — engulfment hazards, confined space, dust explosions, gas monitoring.

### `quality`

```bash
scripts/script.sh quality
```

Grain quality assessment — grading, sampling, and deterioration indicators.

### `help`

```bash
scripts/script.sh help
```

### `version`

```bash
scripts/script.sh version
```

## Configuration

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `SILO_DIR` | Data directory (default: ~/.silo/) |
