The Agent Skills Directory

[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill describes functionality for fetching astronomical data and metadata from remote sources.
Coordinate name resolution (SkyCoord.from_name) uses services like Sesame, SIMBAD, and NED.
Location lookups (EarthLocation.of_site, EarthLocation.of_address) may access remote registries or geocoding APIs.
Remote file access is supported for FITS data stored on S3 or via HTTP.
Automatic updates for IERS Earth-rotation data may occur during high-precision time calculations.
General-purpose file downloading is provided via astropy.utils.data.download_file.
Documentation explicitly warns users about these network calls and provides methods to disable auto-downloads (e.g., iers.conf.auto_download = False).
[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The installation section provides standard commands for package management.
Instructions use uv pip install with pinned versions (e.g., astropy==7.2.0) to ensure environment reproducibility.
[INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exposes a surface for indirect prompt injection by processing external scientific data files.
Ingestion points: Reading FITS images and headers, and various tabular formats (CSV, VOTable, HDF5) as documented in references/fits.md and references/tables.md.
Boundary markers: The instructions do not define specific delimiters for the agent when processing data from these files.
Capability inventory: Includes file system read/write operations and network access for data retrieval described across several reference files.
Sanitization: Relies on the library's native parsing of astronomical file formats.
