🌌 Astro Skill

High-precision, deterministic Vedic astrology engine, portable agent skill, and stdio MCP server.

Swiss Ephemeris SWIEPH precision • 100% Offline & Zero API Keys • In-process ReportLab PDF • 11 MCP Tools

🎯 Overview

Astro Skill is a production-grade, deterministic Vedic astrology engine that converts birth details and celestial coordinates into structured mathematical charts, timelines, and factual reports.

• 🔬 Zero Hallucinations: 100% calculation-backed using bundled Swiss Ephemeris data (.se1 SWIEPH via pyswisseph) and Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa.
• 🔌 3 Plug-and-Play Surfaces:
  1. Stdio MCP Server (astro-mcp): 11 stable tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and any Model Context Protocol client.
  2. Python Library & CLI: Import directly in Python or run standalone CLI calculator scripts with --json outputs.
  3. Agent Skill: Portable SKILL.md ready to equip autonomous coding agents and orchestrators.
• 📄 In-Process PDF Generator: Generates bilingual (Hindi & English) Kundali and Panchang charts via ReportLab with bundled Noto Sans Devanagari font — zero headless browser or Chrome dependencies.
• 🔒 100% Offline & Private: Zero external API keys, zero rate-limits, and zero network calls required for astrological calculations.

🛡️ Safety Boundaries

1. Calculation-Backed Drafts: Reports are mathematical baselines intended for review by an astrologer or operator before sharing.
2. Missing Birth Details: Never guess or synthesize birth times or locations; prompt the user if inputs are missing.
3. Ethical Guardrails: Strictly prohibits generating fatalistic claims, death timing, medical diagnoses, or unavoidable harm predictions.
