Agent Implementation Notes

Script location: {skill_folder}/pokemon (wrapper) → scripts/pokemon

When user asks about Pokémon:

Run ./pokemon search "name" to find exact name
Run ./pokemon info <name|id> for full stats
Run ./pokemon type <type> for matchup questions
Run ./pokemon ability <name> for ability details

Common patterns:

"What is X weak to?" → Get info for types, then lookup type matchups
"Best counter for X?" → Get types, then check what's super effective
"Does X have ability Y?" → Get info and check abilities list

Don't use for: Non-Pokémon game info, competitive tier lists, or fan content.

Overview

A CLI tool for AI agents to fetch Pokémon data for users. It uses PokéAPI with no authentication and supports searching, detailed stats, type matchups, and ability info to deliver quick, factual Pokémon insights in chat.

How This Skill Works

The agent invokes a wrapper at the pokemon command set to query PokéAPI. It supports: search for partial names, info by name or ID for full stats, type for matchup data, and ability details. Outputs include detailed stats, compact summaries, and type/ability descriptions, all without requiring an API key.

When to Use It

When you need exact stats and basic info (types, height, weight, base stats) for a Pokémon
When you need type matchups or weaknesses to answer effectiveness questions
When you need detailed information about a Pokémon's abilities
When you want to find a Pokémon by partial name or by Pokédex number
When you want compact summaries suitable for chat or quick references

Quick Start

Step 1: Run ./pokemon search "name" to find the exact Pokémon name or ID
Step 2: Run ./pokemon info <name|id> for full stats and details
Step 3: Use ./pokemon type <name> or ./pokemon ability <name> as needed

Best Practices

Start with pokemon search to resolve ambiguous names before fetching details
Use pokemon info <name|id> for full stats and key attributes
Use pokemon type <name> to answer matchup and weakness questions
Use pokemon ability <name> to get ability descriptions and effects
Stay within PokéAPI v2 capabilities; names are case-insensitive and multi-word names use hyphens

Example Use Cases

Look up Pikachu to get its stats and abilities
What are fire type weaknesses? to see type matchups
Tell me about the ability Levitate
Search for dragon Pokémon
pokemon info charizard to get details by name
