What it does

goplaces is a command-line interface wrapping the Google Places (New) API. It helps users perform text searches, bias by location, resolve ambiguous place names, fetch place details and reviews, and emit JSON for automation. The tool is oriented at both interactive human use and scripted workflows via --json.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need quick place lookups (coffee shops, restaurants, attractions), detailed place metadata and reviews, or when building scripts that require place search results in JSON. Activate for commands like goplaces search, resolve, details, or when configuring GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY.

What's included

Scripts: no scripts bundled in the skill directory; installation instructions (Homebrew) and runtime requirements are documented.
References: homepage and metadata point to the GitHub repo; the SKILL.md lists install/config notes and common CLI examples.
Instructions: common command examples, config notes (GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY), and flags (json, no-color, pagination, bias).

Compatible agents

Inference: Agents or tooling that can shell out to system binaries (CLI-capable agents, automation runners, or local dev environments) can use this skill when the goplaces binary and API key are available.

Audit Summary

goplaces is a CLI wrapper for Google Places (New) API providing text search, place details, resolve, and reviews. The SKILL.md covers basic install and common commands clearly but is quite thin — no error handling guidance, no troubleshooting, no advanced usage examples. No bundled scripts to test. The skill is straightforward and does what it says, but lacks depth.

Watch Out

Requires GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY env var
GOOGLE_PLACES_BASE_URL override could redirect API traffic — be cautious in production
--type filter only sends first value due to API limitation

Notes

Clean skill with no security concerns. Well-structured frontmatter with install metadata. Main weakness is lack of depth — no scripts, no error handling docs, no output contract beyond --json flag. Would benefit from examples showing error scenarios and structured output parsing.
