# Currency Rates Skill Currency conversion is a daily agent chore with a clean keyless answer: Frankfurter serves European Central Bank reference rates (current and historical) over bare HTTPS, and open.er-api.com covers the long tail of currencies Frankfurter doesn't track. This skill knows both, always quotes the rate *and its date*, and never confuses a reference rate with the rate any bank will actually give. ## What This Skill Produces - **The conversion** — the amount, converted, stated first - **The rate and its date** — reference rates update on banking days; the date is part of the answer - **The command** — exact curl, rerunnable and scriptable - **The caveat** — reference rates ≠ what a card, bank, or exchange desk will charge; the spread is real ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **From, to, and amount** — ISO codes resolved from natural language ("dollars" → USD unless context says AUD/CAD/SGD — ask when genuinely ambiguous) - **When** — today (default) or a historical date (Frankfurter serves history back to 1999) - **The purpose, if it matters** — budgeting tolerance vs. invoice-precision changes how hard to caveat the spread ## Framework: The Two So
