Fetch the ISS latitude and longitude with a deterministic Python script that matches this repository's existing get_iss_position tool behavior.

python3 skills/iss-position/scripts/get_iss_position.py --format text

python3 skills/iss-position/scripts/get_iss_position.py --format json

Script path: skills/iss-position/scripts/get_iss_position.py

Behavior:

{"status":"success","latitude":12.34,"longitude":56.78,"message":"The ISS is currently at latitude 12.34 and longitude 56.78."}

or:

{"status":"error","message":"Failed to retrieve ISS position."}

or:

{"status":"error","message":"ISS API returned invalid latitude/longitude values"}

Network access is required to fetch live ISS coordinates.
Use --format text for human-readable output and --format json for downstream tooling.
Use --timeout to adjust request timeout when needed.
