# OpenWeather Skill

OpenWeather One Call API 3.0 via a small Python CLI (stdlib only).

## Commands

City is optional if `OPENWEATHER_DEFAULT_LOCATION` is set.

python3 {skillDir}/scripts/weather.py current [city]
python3 {skillDir}/scripts/weather.py forecast [city] --days 5
python3 {skillDir}/scripts/weather.py hourly [city] --hours 12

## Rules

- If no location is mentioned, use `OPENWEATHER_DEFAULT_LOCATION` when configured; otherwise ask the user for a location.
- Do not make more than 2 API calls per request (1 geocode + 1 onecall).
- If the API returns 401, tell the user the key may be invalid or One Call 3.0 may not be enabled for that key.
- Do not claim to use curl; this skill uses Python urllib.
