What problem does it solve? Finding the right dataset among Montréal's 436+ open datasets is difficult because the catalog metadata is predominantly in French and spread across many organizations and thematic groups. This Skill provides the search strategies, keyword translations, and API endpoints needed to locate the correct dataset for any question about the city. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Keyword Search with Translation: Query the CKAN package_search endpoint using a built-in English-to-French keyword table covering trees, transit, crime, permits, budget, and more. - Category and Organization Browsing: Explore datasets by thematic group (transport, environment, security) or by publishing organization such as ville-de-montreal, STM, or BIXI. - Dataset Inspection: Check a dataset's resources, DataStore availability, update frequency, and borough coverage before querying it. - Use Case: A user asks "How many trees are in the Plateau?" The Skill maps the question to the arbres dataset, confirms its DataStore resource is queryable, and hands off to a query skill. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find which Montréal open dataset contains building permit records and show its available fields.
