Local Micro-Garden & Frost Date Advisor | Touch Grass Challenge

Description and use

A fully local CLI agent that analyzes frost data and produces a practical outdoor gardening plan based on desired outdoor hours.

Problem

Developers spend hours on screens; need a way to plan outdoor gardening based on local frost dates and desired outdoor time.

Outcome

The agent provides a fully local, zero‑API dependency solution that generates a realistic outdoor gardening plan based on regional frost data and user‑specified outdoor hours.

Workflow

• 1. User runs the CLI and inputs city/ZIP and desired outdoor hours.
• 2. Agent uses getFrostDataTool to analyze historical frost dates and suggest cold‑hardy crops.
• 3. Agent uses generatePlanTool to convert desired outdoor time into a checklist (soil prep, planting, frost covers).
• 4. Agent outputs the customized plan to the terminal.

Evidence

The agent runs 100% locally on a Mac with zero external API dependencies or cloud key limits:
