SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Activity planning agents can suggest outdoor plans that ignore storms, extreme heat, or poor air quality, putting users at risk. This Skill injects safety guardrails so suggestions respect local weather conditions and venue constraints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hazard Avoidance: Blocks outdoor or risky activities when storms, extreme temperatures, or hazardous air quality are present.
  • Threshold-Based Alternatives: Offers indoor or low-exposure options when precipitation probability exceeds 40% or the heat index is above 32°C/90°F.
  • Advisory Reminders: Prompts users to check local advisories, permits, venue hours, and accessibility before committing.
  • Use Case: An activities-planner agent building a weekend itinerary uses these guardrails to swap a hiking plan for a museum visit when a storm is forecast.

Quick Start

Apply the weather safety guardrails to review my planned outdoor activities and suggest safer alternatives where conditions are risky.

Frequently Asked Questions about weather-safety-guardrails

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add weather safety rules to an activity planning agent?

Add this Skill to the agent's skills directory so its guardrail instructions load into context. The agent then avoids outdoor suggestions during storms or extreme heat and offers indoor alternatives when precipitation exceeds 40% or the heat index exceeds 32°C/90°F.

What weather thresholds trigger indoor activity alternatives?

Indoor or low-exposure alternatives are suggested when precipitation probability exceeds 40% or the heat index rises above 32°C/90°F. Storms, extreme temperatures, and hazardous air quality block outdoor suggestions entirely.

Does this Skill fetch live weather forecast data?

No, it only provides safety rules and a checklist for evaluating conditions. The agent must obtain forecast data from a separate weather tool or MCP server before these guardrails can be applied.

Can I customize the safety thresholds for my region?

Yes, the thresholds are plain-text instructions in SKILL.md, so you can edit values like the 40% precipitation cutoff or 32°C/90°F heat index to match local climate norms and risk tolerance.

What are the limitations of prompt-based safety guardrails?

Prompt-based guardrails depend on the agent following instructions and having accurate weather data. They do not enforce hard constraints programmatically, so critical safety decisions should still be verified by the user against official advisories.
