natbag

Claude Code plugin for Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) flight data.

What it does

• Live flights — Departures, arrivals, status, gates from data.gov.il
• Destination weather — Current conditions via Open-Meteo (free, no API key)
• Historical analysis — On-time performance, delay stats, cancellation rates from local SQLite DB
• IATA reference — 999 airlines + 9,240 airports shipped with the plugin (no download needed)
• Bilingual — Hebrew and English

Install

/install-plugin omriariav/natbag-skill

No setup required. On first use, the plugin automatically:

1. Copies shipped data/db.db (airlines + airports) to ~/.natbag/flights.db
2. Fetches live flight data from Ben Gurion Airport
3. Starts accumulating historical data for delay analysis

Usage

The skill triggers automatically when you ask about TLV flights. You can also invoke it directly:

/natbag departures
/natbag arrivals
/natbag LY001
/natbag delayed

Example prompts

• "Show me departures from Ben Gurion"
• "Is flight LY001 on time?"
• "When is the next flight to Amsterdam?"
• "Any cancelled flights?"
• "Weather in London for my flight"
• "Are El Al flights to JFK usually delayed?"
• "מה הטיסות היום מנתב״ג?"

How it works

Install → ships data/db.db (999 airlines, 6,072 airports)
                ↓
First use → copies IATA data into ~/.natbag/flights.db + fetches live flights
                ↓
Every use → PreToolUse hook runs snapshot.py (once daily, self-guards)
                ↓
Query → scripts return clean JSON → Claude formats for user

• snapshot.py — fetches live flights, upserts into SQLite, imports IATA data on first run
• query_flights.py — queries live API with filters (airline, destination, status)
• query_history.py — queries local DB for historical stats, airport/airline lookups

Configuration

Settings are stored in ~/.natbag/config.json (created automatically on first use):

{
  "daily_snapshot": true,
  "last_snapshot": "2026-03-21T10:00:00+00:00"
}

Disable daily snapshots:

Tell Claude: "disable natbag daily snapshots"

Or manually:

python3 -c "import json; f=open('$HOME/.natbag/config.json','r+'); d=json.load(f); d['daily_snapshot']=False; f.seek(0); json.dump(d,f,indent=2); f.truncate()"
