air-quality
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.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill air-quality --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Air Quality Skill Air quality is a daily decision input — run outside or inside, windows open or closed, mask or not — and Open-Meteo serves it globally over plain HTTPS, no key, no signup. This skill fetches it, then does the part the raw number doesn't: translating PM2.5 and AQI into the standard health bands, matched to what the user was actually deciding. ## What This Skill Produces - **The read** — one sentence: the air right now and what it suggests for the stated activity - **The numbers** — AQI plus the pollutants that matter (PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂), with the timestamp - **The bands** — where today sits on the standard scale, so the number has meaning - **The command** — the exact curl, rerunnable ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **Location** — lat/lon or a place name (geocode first: `https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search?name=Delhi&count=1`) - **The decision behind the question** — a run, a bike commute, a sensitive-lungs household, open windows — the read is calibrated to it - **Which index they think in** — US AQI or European AQI (the API serves both; the numbers differ substantially for the same air) ## Framework: The Fetch and the Read 1

What does the air-quality skill do?
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.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill air-quality --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
