What This Skill Does
A command-line unit converter covering length, weight, temperature, area, volume, speed, time, and digital storage. Accepts common unit aliases and supports both metric and imperial systems. Data conversions use binary (1024-based) units.
Covers eight unit categories in a single script without needing an internet connection or opening a browser.
When to use it
- Converting a recipe from cups to milliliters
- Checking a file size in gigabytes vs megabytes
- Converting a foreign height measurement from cm to feet
- Comparing speed limits between km/h and mph while traveling
- Calculating how many hours are in a week for a time estimate
