Get My IP
Use this skill when the user wants the current machine's IP address as seen from the public internet.
This skill uses:
curl -fsSL ifconfig.meOutcome
Return the current public IP address from ifconfig.me.
Keep the answer concise. By default, return only the IP unless the user asks for more detail.
Workflow
1. Clarify the meaning only when needed
ifconfig.me returns the public outbound IP, not the local LAN IP.
If the user says "local IP" but also asks to use ifconfig.me, follow the request and, when useful, note that the result is the public IP.
2. Run the command
Use:
curl -fsSL ifconfig.meDo not replace it with another service unless the user asks for a fallback.
3. Return the result
If successful:
- return the IP directly
If it fails:
- say the public IP could not be retrieved
- include the brief reason when available, such as missing
curl, network failure, or service unavailability
Scope Boundaries
This skill is only for retrieving the public IP via ifconfig.me.
It is not for:
- finding the local LAN IP
- diagnosing network routing issues
- checking multiple interfaces
- performing geolocation lookups
