Individual skill

flight-tracker

Track live aircraft positions with zero API keys — adsb.lol's open ADS-B network primary, OpenSky fallback, via curl: by callsign, registration, or area. Use when asked where is this flight right now, what planes are overhead, track a tail number, or is that flight in the air. Produces the live position with altitude, speed, and heading interpreted, the overhead list for a location, and the rerunnable command — with the positions-not-schedules boundary stated honestly.

# Flight Tracker Skill

"Where's that flight right now?" has a genuinely open answer: hobbyist ADS-B receiver networks share live aircraft transponder data keylessly — adsb.lol serves it clean, OpenSky backs it up. This skill queries by callsign, hex, or area, and translates transponder math into human answers ("over Poland at 38,000 ft, ~40 minutes from Warsaw-ish airspace"). It's equally honest about the boundary: this is *positions*, not airline operations — gate changes, delays, and cancellations live in keyed commercial services, and pretending otherwise produces confident fiction.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The position** — where the aircraft is now: location in words, altitude, ground speed, heading, climb/descent
- **The overhead list** — aircraft above/near a point, sorted by distance
- **The interpretation** — cruise vs. descent, direction of travel, rough progress — labeled as inference from position data
- **The command** — exact curl, rerunnable — and the boundary line when the question was schedule-shaped
