Set up a private rider profile and activate or research a surf region. Use when the user is new, changes destination, or asks to configure surf-guide.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

12 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 7 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 7

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Check whether data/profile.md and data/active-location.md already exist.

    line 21
  2. Very specific:

    If the active-location status is none, preserve that state until the user provides a destination.

    line 24
  3. Distinctive:

    Ask only for missing information, in no more than six numbered questions:

    line 29
  4. Distinctive:

    When an existing public location pack covers the requested region, create or update only:

    line 48
  5. Very specific:

    Use the templates exactly.

    line 57
  6. Very specific:

    Never write private answers under locations/.

    line 58
  7. Very specific:

    If no public pack exists, Step 4 may additionally create the private data/location-drafts/<country-slug>/<region-slug>/ tree.

    line 60
  8. Distinctive:

    verify that its coverage matches the user's drive radius.

    line 69
  9. Very specific:

    check for existing private overlays or expanded local drafts under data/.

    line 71
  10. Distinctive:

    If it does not exist:

    line 75
  11. Very specific:

    Create a local draft under data/location-drafts/<country-slug>/<region-slug>/ using locations/_template/.

    line 80
  12. Distinctive:

    Do not add a new public location pack automatically.

    line 90

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Set up surf-guide

Configure this clone without publishing personal data.

1. Inspect before asking

Read:

  • AGENTS.md
  • templates/profile.md
  • templates/active-location.md
  • locations/README.md
  • the user's current setup request

Check whether data/profile.md and data/active-location.md already exist. Preserve existing answers unless the user asks to replace them.

If the active-location status is none, preserve that state until the user provides a destination. Do not invent or reactivate an archived trip.

2. Ask one compact batch

Ask only for missing information, in no more than six numbered questions:

  1. Surf region and approximate base town or neighbourhood; never require an exact address.
  2. Maximum drive time and transport/access constraints.
  3. Ability, years/frequency, and comfortable versus absolute-maximum face height.
  4. Hard exclusions: bottom types, hazards, localism, isolation, access, or daylight/time constraints.
  5. Optional preferences: left/right, beach/point/reef, crowd tolerance, and current technique goal.
  6. Current board plus height, weight, and successful/unsuccessful past boards if board recommendations are wanted.

Explain that weight and board history are optional for forecasts but useful for board selection.

3. Write private configuration

When an existing public location pack covers the requested region, create or update only:

  • data/profile.md
  • data/active-location.md
  • data/sessions/<region-slug>.csv
  • data/sessions/<region-slug>.md
  • data/calibration/<region-slug>.md

Use the templates exactly. Store the base only at town/neighbourhood precision. Never write private answers under locations/.

If no public pack exists, Step 4 may additionally create the private data/location-drafts/<country-slug>/<region-slug>/ tree.

4. Resolve the public location pack

Look for locations/<country-slug>/<region-slug>/README.md.

If it exists:

  • verify that its coverage matches the user's drive radius;
  • reference it from data/active-location.md;
  • check for existing private overlays or expanded local drafts under data/;
  • reference relevant private overlays in data/active-location.md instead of copying their personal annotations into the shared pack.

If it does not exist:

  1. Explain that a one-time location research pass is required.
  2. Research a bounded zone of roughly 5–12 established public breaks.
  3. Apply the two-source rule from AGENTS.md.
  4. Create a local draft under data/location-drafts/<country-slug>/<region-slug>/ using locations/_template/.
  5. Include source URLs, confidence labels, approximate coordinates, timezone, orientation, swell/wind/tide guidance, hazards, access, sections, and exposure class.
  6. Label map/geometry deductions as inference. Do not invent empirical multipliers or calibration.
  7. Point data/active-location.md at the local draft.

Do not add a new public location pack automatically. At the end, offer to prepare the factual draft as a reviewable contribution after the user has checked it. Promotion requires explicit user approval and must exclude the profile, base, sessions, and private calibration.

5. Initialize session files

Copy the exact CSV header from templates/sessions.csv. In the Markdown log, state that first-hand observations are personal ground truth and must not be published automatically.

6. Finish

Report:

  • active status;
  • active region;
  • shared pack or local draft path;
  • number of included spots;
  • any fields left unknown;
  • that data/ is ignored by Git;
  • the next command: /surf tomorrow.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
