description	Get current and forecast pollen counts for a US ZIP code. Use when asked about pollen, allergens, or allergy/pollen forecasts for a US location.

Pollen Counts Skill

Get current and forecast pollen levels for a US ZIP code using the public Pollen.com forecast API.

Usage

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/pollen_count.py <ZIP_CODE>

Parameters:

• ZIP_CODE (required): a valid 5-digit US ZIP code.

The script prints a formatted report with yesterday/today/tomorrow pollen index values (0–12 scale), a level description, and the top allergens driving the count.

Requirements

• Python 3 with the requests package (pip install requests).

Notes

• The Pollen.com API returns empty periods for invalid ZIP codes; the script reports that as an error rather than guessing.
