modbender DHMZ Weather (Croatia)
Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) provides free XML APIs. All data in Croatian, no authentication needed.
Default Behavior
When this skill is invoked:
- If a city is provided as argument (e.g.,
/dhmz-weather Zagreb): Immediately fetch and display weather for that city - If no city is provided: Infer the city from conversation context (user's location, previously mentioned cities, or project context). If no context available, default to Zagreb (capital city)
Do not ask the user what they want - just fetch the weather data immediately and present it in a readable format.
