SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Bots answering "where" questions fail silently when they return a place name without a verified address or hours, sending users to wrong locations or closed doors. This Skill enforces source-attached verification so every address and hours value is traceable to the vendor's own listing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verified candidate ranking: Searches a configured maps surface, keeps three to five candidates, and ranks them by stated constraints like open-now or distance to an anchor. - Source-attached evidence: Every address and hours value carries its named source, or is explicitly marked unverified, "hours not published," or "could not read." - Community-claim labeling: Candidates found only via review sites or listicles are labeled as leads, never confirmed results. - Use Case: A user asks their Bot "which pharmacies near downtown are open on Sunday" — the Skill returns a ranked list where each entry shows the street address and Sunday hours with the listing named as source. ## Quick Start Ask the Bot to find coffee shops near the office that are open now, with verified addresses and hours for each option.

Frequently Asked Questions about maps-local-intel

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find verified addresses and hours for local businesses?

Search the configured maps surface for candidates, then open each candidate's own vendor listing to record the street address and hours exactly as shown. Values without a named source are marked unverified rather than filled in from memory or review snippets.

How to check if a place is open now before visiting?

Read the candidate's published hours and current open status from its own listing, noting holiday or special-hours flags. If hours are absent, the result states "hours not published" instead of substituting a generic schedule.

Can this skill work without a maps search tool configured?

No. If no maps surface is configured, the skill says so and stops rather than improvising lookups from model memory or general web results presented as map data.

Why are some place results labeled as leads instead of verified?

Candidates found only through community sources like review sites, best-of lists, or forum threads are labeled leads because those sources cannot confirm an address or hours. Only the vendor's own listing, checked live, confirms them.

What are the limitations of maps-based place lookup?

The skill is read-only and resolves places, not movement: it does not handle route planning, delivery tracking, or live position data. It also never books, orders, or calls places, and unreachable listings are recorded as gaps rather than guessed.
