What problem does it solve?
Radio DJs often reference the night sky to add atmosphere, but manually checking the lunar phase before every broadcast is impractical. This Skill gives the SUB/WAVE AI DJ a computed moon phase and illumination value so it can decide whether a lunar mention is worth airing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Offline Lunar Calculation: Computes the current moon phase from the date using a synodic-month approximation, with no API key or network access required.
- Notability Filtering: Returns an
available flag that is only true for headline phases (full moon, new moon, crescents), so unremarkable phases are skipped automatically.
- Use Case: During a late-night broadcast, the segment director calls this tool, sees a full moon at 100% illumination, and the DJ works a short in-character line about the moon into the talk break between tracks.
Quick Start
Ask the DJ to check tonight's moon phase and mention it on air only if it is a full moon, new moon, or sharp crescent.
