SG Car Park Availability
Overview
Use this skill to answer Singapore car park availability queries by location/area and lot type.
It is for informational wayfinding support only, not guaranteed parking outcomes.
Read these references before running:
references/intake.mdreferences/output-template.mdreferences/source-map.mdreferences/qa-checklist.mdreferences/safety-assumptions.mdreferences/review-contacts.mdreferences/safety-evals.md
Workflow
1. Confirm request and scope
Capture or infer:
- Scope: current snapshot or specified recent time
- Area/location: town, planning area, carpark ID, or nearby landmark
- Lot type:
C (car), Y (motorcycle), or all available types
- Output mode: quick summary or structured brief
If missing, default to:
- latest available snapshot
- nearby/area summary based on provided location text
- lot type
C
- quick summary
2. Safety and misuse triage
Record:
- Risk tier:
LOW
- Regulated domain:
No
- Sensitive-period mode:
No
Blocking behavior:
- Return
Refuse for harmful, deceptive, or abusive requests.
- Return
Input Required if location/scope cannot be inferred.
3. Gather sources with trust tiers
Use this order:
- Tier 1 (primary): official Singapore transport/open-data sources for carpark availability.
- Tier 2: official notices for outages, delayed updates, or maintenance windows.
- Tier 3: media/community reports only as weak support; never sole basis for lot counts.
Verification rules:
- For available lots and total lots, use official published dataset values.
- If sources conflict, prefer official API/dataset and state conflict.
- If data is stale, delayed, or unavailable, mark
Low confidence and Verification pending.
- Only mark
Data pending when supported by official signals (empty/latest snapshot unavailable, or official outage notice).
4. Produce carpark-availability output
Follow references/output-template.md.
Include:
- Query scope and as-of time
- Snapshot timestamp and data freshness status
- Requested area/location results (carpark ID when available)
- Available lots, total lots, and occupancy estimate when possible
- Source links
- Confidence labels and caveats
Use absolute timestamps in Singapore time.
Clearly separate facts (published lot values) from inference (freshness/availability interpretation).
5. Apply QA and safety checks
Before finalizing:
- Run
references/qa-checklist.md
- Ensure each listed carpark row includes source traceability
- Do not provide harmful misuse guidance
- Add caveats when data is stale, delayed, or partial
- Lower confidence when freshness cannot be verified
6. Return final response
Return concise, actionable parking-availability output.
If user asks for fast output, use short sections:
- Scope and as-of time
- Snapshot and freshness status
- Nearby/area results
- Caveats
- Confidence and links
Quality Bar
- Uses official Singapore data sources first for lot-count claims.
- Every time-sensitive statement has absolute Singapore timestamp.
- Facts and inference are clearly separated.
- Confidence labels are present in major sections.
- No guaranteed-availability language.
Reusable prompts
- "Show latest car park availability near Orchard Road with confidence labels."
- "Check if carpark availability data is fresh and list top nearby options."
- "Give me a quick SG carpark availability summary for this area: Tampines."
