Track the International Space Station live with keyless curl — where it is right now, what it's over, and when to look up, with the orbital math translated into human terms. Use when asked where is the ISS right now, is the space station overhead, when can I see the ISS tonight, or track the station for the kids. Produces the live position translated to a place name, the overhead-math explained, the visibility rules of thumb, and the rerunnable command — the library's proof that live data can also just be delightful.

# ISS Tracker Skill

Somewhere over your head, sixteen times a day, a football-field-sized laboratory does 27,600 km/h — and a keyless API tells you exactly where it is this second. This skill fetches the position and does the translation that makes it land: raw coordinates become "over the South Pacific, heading northeast toward Chile," and the when-can-I-see-it question gets the honest two-part answer (the rules of thumb that always hold, plus the pointer to precise pass predictions, which need more than an anonymous curl). It's the library's purest fun skill, and it behaves like one — while keeping every number real.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The position, translated** — coordinates → the ocean/country/region it's over, with direction of travel
- **The astronaut answer** — how high, how fast, how often it orbits — the numbers people actually retell
- **The visibility read** — the rules for seeing it (and why "right overhead" ≠ "visible"), with the route to precise pass times
- **The command** — exact curl, rerunnable — and delightful to hand to a kid
