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

1. Identify the conversion type (temperature, distance, or weight)
2. Extract the value and units from the user's request
3. Call the appropriate conversion tool with correct parameters
4. 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
