Agent Implementation Notes

Platform note: If your human is on Windows, they'll need WSL, Git Bash, or Cygwin to run this skill.

Script location:

{skill_folder}/countries

(wrapper to

scripts/countries

)

When user asks about countries:

Run
```
./countries search "name"
```
to find country code
Run
```
./countries info <code>
```
for full details
Run
```
./countries region <region>
```
for regional lists
Run
```
./countries capital "city"
```
to find by capital

Common patterns:

"What country is X in?" → search by name
"Tell me about X" → search, then info with code
"Countries in Europe" → region europe
"Capital of X" → info with code, check capital field
"What country has capital X?" → capital search

Don't use for: Historical countries, disputed territories, non-sovereign regions.
