## Capabilities

- Guide downloads of public collection datasets for Taipei, New Taipei, and Taichung without login or API keys.
- Filter collection records by district, neighborhood, scheduled time, and available address descriptions.
- Select the next scheduled stop using local Asia/Taipei time.
- Check weekday garbage and recycling availability using New Taipei and Taichung dataset fields.
- Rank nearby Taipei and New Taipei stops using approximate coordinate differences.
- Explain pagination, UTF-8 BOM removal, changed resource links, and API error responses.

## Use Cases

- Find an evening collection stop: Check scheduled collection points in a Taipei neighborhood after work and compare arrival times.
- Check neighborhood recycling days: Compare New Taipei garbage and recycling weekday flags before sharing a collection schedule.
- Plan disposal around opening hours: Look up Taichung collection addresses and weekday time windows near a shop.

## Prompt Templates

### Find neighborhood stops

```
Find scheduled garbage collection stops in [Taipei district] and [neighborhood]. Show location, arrival time, departure time, and route.
```

### Check collection today

```
Check whether [New Taipei district] and [neighborhood] have garbage and recycling collection today. Use Asia/Taipei time and distinguish schedules from service disruptions.
```

### Compare nearby evening stops

```
Find five nearby scheduled stops in New Taipei around [latitude, longitude] after [time] today. Apply weekday flags and label coordinate ranking as approximate.
```

### Compare weekly collection windows

```
Compare garbage and recycling windows for [Taichung district] and [neighborhood] across the week. Use private temporary storage and report missing fields or download failures.
```

## Limitations

- Only Taipei, New Taipei, and Taichung are covered; other Taiwan cities are not supported.
- Schedules are planned times, not live GPS or guaranteed arrivals; holidays and weather disruptions require official announcements.
- Taichung records lack coordinates and update-date fields, so coordinate-based nearest-stop ranking and freshness verification are unavailable.
- Downloads require network access and shell tools; examples use predictable temporary filenames that should be replaced with private storage.

## Best Practices

- Provide the city, district, and exact Traditional Chinese neighborhood name before requesting a lookup.
- Use Asia/Taipei time and check collection flags separately for garbage and recycling.
- Download into private temporary storage, verify data formats and pagination, and confirm disruption notices with the city environmental authority.

## Anti Patterns

- Treating a scheduled arrival as a live GPS estimate or a guaranteed collection time.
- Assuming the first New Taipei API page includes every stop or applying Taipei field names to other cities.
- Guessing unmatched neighborhoods, inventing missing times, or ranking Taichung stops by unavailable coordinates.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-10-13T03:07:40.061\+00:00
- Summary: Most findings are Markdown formatting, public government URLs, dataset identifiers, and legitimate data processing rather than malicious execution or reconnaissance. Seven temporary-file writes use predictable paths, creating local overwrite and symlink risks in shared environments. No evidence found of prompt injection, credential theft, or data exfiltration.
