| description | Soil analysis, crop recommendations, farm optimization, and sensor validation for agricultural professionals. Use this skill whenever users ask about soil data, crop selection, farm profitability, planting schedules, sensor calibration, or agricultural optimization. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions farming, agriculture, soil tests, crop yields, profit margins, sensor readings, or needs agricultural intelligence, even if they don't explicitly ask for "soil analysis" or "crop recommendations." |

Agricultural Intelligence
Overview
This skill enables Claude to provide comprehensive agricultural intelligence including soil analysis, crop recommendations, profitability calculations, and sensor validation. It's designed for farmers, agricultural professionals, researchers, and anyone working with agricultural data.
Keywords: agriculture, farming, soil analysis, crop recommendations, farm profitability, sensor calibration, agricultural optimization, soil tests, crop yields, planting schedules, fertilizer calculations
Quick Reference
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill whenever users mention:
- Soil data or soil test results
- Crop selection or what to plant
- Farm profitability or ROI calculations
- Planting schedules or timing
- Sensor readings or calibration
- Agricultural optimization or improvements
Core Capabilities
- Soil Analysis - Interpret soil test data, provide recommendations
- Crop Recommendations - Suggest optimal crops based on conditions
- Profitability Analysis - Calculate margins, costs, ROI
- Sensor Validation - Detect drift, recommend calibration
- Planting Guidance - Provide schedules, density recommendations
Detailed Instructions
For complete agricultural intelligence, follow these steps:
1. Soil Data Analysis
When users provide soil test data:
- Read and interpret pH, nutrient levels (N, P, K), organic matter
- Compare to USDA reference values for soil type
- Provide classification and recommendations
- Calculate fertilizer requirements if needed
Reference: See REFERENCE.md for soil classification tables and formulas.
2. Crop Recommendation Process
For crop selection questions:
- Analyze soil conditions against crop requirements
- Calculate suitability scores (0-100%)
- Estimate expected yields based on conditions
- Provide top 3 recommendations with reasoning
Script: Use soil_analysis.py for automated crop scoring and yield estimation.
3. Profitability Calculations
When users ask about farm economics:
- Gather crop, yield, price, and cost data
- Calculate gross revenue, total costs, net profit
- Provide ROI percentages and break-even analysis
- Compare multiple crop options
Data: Current market prices and cost structures in REFERENCE.md.
4. Sensor Validation
For sensor data questions:
- Check for drift (>10% deviation from baseline)
- Verify calibration schedule (<6 months recommended)
- Compare to manual measurements if available
- Provide recalibration recommendations
Thresholds: Acceptable drift limits and calibration schedules in REFERENCE.md.
Example Prompts
Soil Analysis Prompts:
- "Here are my soil test results: pH 6.2, nitrogen 25 ppm, phosphorus 15 ppm, potassium 150 ppm. What does this mean?"
- "Interpret this soil report for my farm"
- "Are these nutrient levels good for growing corn?"
- "What should I add to improve my soil?"
Crop Recommendation Prompts:
- "What should I plant in my field with these soil conditions?"
- "Compare corn and soybeans for my 100-acre farm"
- "Recommend crops for clay soil with pH 6.5"
- "What's the best crop for maximum profit?"
Profitability Prompts:
- "Calculate profit for 50 acres of wheat"
- "What's the ROI on tomato farming?"
- "Compare costs for different crops"
- "Estimate my farm's revenue potential"
Sensor & Calibration Prompts:
- "My pH sensor reads 6.8 but manual test shows 6.2"
- "How often should I calibrate soil moisture sensors?"
- "Check if my sensor data looks accurate"
- "Detect drift in my agricultural sensors"
General Agriculture Prompts:
- "When should I plant corn in Iowa?"
- "How much fertilizer do I need?"
- "Optimize my farm layout for better yields"
- "Improve soil health on my land"
Example Workflows
1. Soil Analysis Workflow
User: "My soil test shows pH 6.2, N 25 ppm, P 15 ppm, K 150 ppm. What should I do?"
Claude with this skill:
- Loads soil analysis formulas from
REFERENCE.md
- Runs
soil_analysis.py to calculate nutrient classifications
- Provides: "pH 6.2 (optimal), N 25 ppm (low), P 15 ppm (low), K 150 ppm (medium)"
- Recommends: "Add 30 lbs N/acre, 45 lbs P₂O₅/acre. Top crops: soybeans (85%), corn (75%)"
2. Profitability Comparison Workflow
User: "Compare corn vs soybeans for my 100-acre field"
Claude with this skill:
- Accesses market prices from
REFERENCE.md
- Uses
soil_analysis.py to estimate yields based on soil
- Calculates: "Corn: $510/acre profit, Soybeans: $392/acre profit"
- Concludes: "Corn better by $11,800 total. ROI: 94% vs 112%"
3. Sensor Validation Workflow
User: "pH sensor reads 6.8, manual test 6.2, calibrated 7 months ago"
Claude with this skill:
- Checks drift thresholds in
REFERENCE.md
- Calculates: "(6.8-6.2)/6.2×100 = 9.7% drift over 7 months"
- Compares: "Exceeds 10% threshold for 6-month calibration"
- Recommends: "Immediate recalibration. Monitor weekly after."
