Unit Converter Skill
Purpose
Use this skill when users ask about unit conversions for temperature, distance, or weight.
Available Operations
Temperature
convert_temperature(value, from, to) - Convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin- Common conversions: C↔F, C↔K, F↔K
Distance
convert_distance(value, from, to) - Convert between metric and imperial- Supports: meters, kilometers, miles, feet, inches, yards
Weight
convert_weight(value, from, to) - Convert between weight units- Supports: kilograms, pounds, ounces, grams, stones
Workflow
- Identify the conversion type (temperature, distance, or weight)
- Extract the value and units from the user's request
- Call the appropriate conversion tool with correct parameters
- Present the result with both original and converted values
Examples
User: "What is 100°F in Celsius?"
→ convert_temperature(100, "fahrenheit", "celsius")
→ "100°F = 37.78°C"
User: "How many kilometers is a marathon?"
→ convert_distance(26.2, "miles", "kilometers")
→ "A marathon (26.2 miles) = 42.16 km"
User: "Convert 150 pounds to kilograms"
→ convert_weight(150, "pounds", "kilograms")
→ "150 lbs = 68.04 kg"
Best Practices
- Always show both the original and converted values
- Round to 2 decimal places for readability
- Include the unit abbreviations for clarity
