SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually querying Google Places for business information, reviews, and location data is time-consuming, especially for bulk queries or integration into automated workflows. This Skill eliminates that friction by providing a simple CLI interface to access the full Google Places API.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Place Queries: Search for places by text query with filters for open status, minimum rating, location bias, and result limits.
  • Detailed Place Information: Retrieve full place details including contact information, operating hours, and user reviews.
  • Automation-Ready Output: Return results in human-readable format by default, or scriptable JSON for integration into apps and workflows. A local business owner can use this to quickly find all highly-rated coffee shops open now within a 3km radius of their storefront, or a developer can pull structured place data to power a travel recommendation app.

Quick Start

Use the goplaces skill to find the top 5 pizza places open now within 2 miles of downtown Chicago and return their names, ratings, and addresses.
