What This Skill Does

Queries Apple Maps via the goplaces CLI to search for places, find businesses nearby, and get directions between locations.

CLI Tool: goplaces

Common Commands

bash
# Search for a place by name or keyword
goplaces search "coffee shops near downtown Austin"

# Find nearby places by category
goplaces nearby "pizza"
goplaces nearby "gas station"

# Get directions between two locations
goplaces directions "Austin TX" "San Antonio TX"
goplaces directions --mode walking "Zilker Park" "South Congress Ave"

# Get details about a specific place
goplaces details "Barton Springs Pool, Austin"

Transport Modes

  • --mode driving (default)
  • --mode walking
  • --mode transit

Usage Guidelines

  1. Use natural language for location queries — goplaces handles geocoding automatically.
  2. For "nearby" searches, the current device location is used unless a starting point is specified.
  3. When providing directions, confirm origin and destination with the user if ambiguous.
  4. Present results as a numbered list when multiple places are returned.

Notes

  • Requires macOS with location services enabled for proximity searches.
  • Results are sourced from Apple Maps — coverage quality varies by region.
