Ollama Integration

This package can expose weather tools to Ollama for use in LLM-powered conversations through the hubot-ollama package.

Enabling Ollama Tools

To enable this feature, set the following environment variable:

HUBOT_OPEN_WEATHER_OLLAMA_ENABLED=true

This requires hubot-ollama to be installed in your hubot repository. If hubot-ollama is not available, the tools will not be registered but the package will continue to function normally.
