Drop-in Replacement for Built-in Weather Skill (Open-Meteo + Auto IP Geolocation) 🌤️

[SJK-py]

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a custom skill I just dropped: nanobot-weather.

It’s designed to be a direct, upgraded substitute for Nanobot's built-in weather tool. Because of how Nanobot elegantly handles skill loading—prioritizing user-added skills over built-in ones with the same name—you can install this, and the bot will automatically start using it without configuration changes.

✨ Key Features

• No API Keys Required: Uses the free Open-Meteo API for highly accurate current conditions, daily summaries, and forecasts.
• Smart Auto-Geolocation: If the bot doesn't specify a --location parameter, the skill automatically pings IPify/IP-API to geolocate the host machine's IP. You can just say "What's the weather like right now?" and it figures it out.
• Nominatim Geocoding: Fully supports specific location queries (e.g., "Forecast for Tokyo, Japan").
• LLM-Friendly Output: Automatically translates standard WMO weather_code integers into human-readable strings (e.g., converting 61 to "Rain: Slight intensity") so the bot doesn't have to guess what the numbers mean.
• Safe Error Handling: Outputs standard JSON error objects if an API fails, preventing bot crashes from parsing raw stdout tracebacks.

🚀 30-Second Installation

You can drop this right into your workspace using the automated install script:

# 1. Navigate to your nanobot workspace root
cd /path/to/your/nanobot/workspace

# 2. Download the installer
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SJK-py/nanobot-weather/main/install_weather.sh"

# 3. Make executable and run
chmod +x install_weather.sh
./install_weather.sh

That’s it! The next time you ask for the weather, Nanobot will automatically detect and route the query through the new local script.
