Extract bioclimatic variables (BIO1-BIO19) from WorldClim GeoTIFF rasters using sample coordinates (longitude/latitude). Supports automatic download of World...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements exactly what it claims. Before running: 1) ensure you have the required Python packages (rasterio can require system libs; consider using conda or a virtualenv); 2) confirm you have sufficient disk space (downloads range ~48–650 MB per resolution and expand when unzipped); 3) note the default cache is ./worldclim_data — change it if you prefer a different location; 4) verify the download URL (https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/climate/worldclim/2_1/base) if operating under strict network policies; and 5) run in an isolated environment if you need extra caution. If you see unexpected network calls or file accesses beyond the cache/input/output paths, stop and review the script first.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, and the included Python script all implement the same functionality: reading CSV/XLSX coordinates, (optionally) downloading WorldClim zip files from geodata.ucdavis.edu, extracting .tif rasters, sampling with rasterio, and writing outputs. Required binary (python3) is proportional.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script only read the provided input file(s), download and extract WorldClim data to the specified cache directory, and write outputs. There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, environment variables, or to transmit data to unknown endpoints; the only network access is to the documented UC Davis WorldClim host.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only plus a script). Recommended package installs use pip for rasterio/pandas/openpyxl — expected for this task. Downloads of raster data come from a well-known WorldClim host (geodata.ucdavis.edu) and are extracted into a local cache directory.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It only requires local filesystem access to read input and write cache/output files, which is necessary for its stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or agent configuration. It persists downloaded data to a local cache directory (user-configurable) — expected behavior for large raster datasets.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install worldclim-extract - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/worldclim-extract - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
