Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned steipete/clawdis at db197f9a8f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

Goplaces is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that interacts with the Google Places API. It allows you to search for locations, retrieve details about them, and manage place data. The tool prioritizes human-readable output by default but supports JSON output for scripting purposes. It streamlines tasks like travel planning and data entry involving Google Maps locations.

When to use it

  • Searching for nearby businesses (e.g., "coffee shops open now").
  • Finding places within a specific radius of a location (e.g., "pizza" near latitude 40.8, longitude -73.9).
  • Retrieving detailed information about a place using its Place ID, including reviews.
  • Resolving a place name to its Google Places API identifier (e.g., resolving "Soho, London").
  • Automating data extraction from the Google Places API for scripting or analysis.

Key capabilities

  • Search: Finds places matching a search query with options for open now status and minimum rating.
  • Bias: Allows biasing searches to specific geographic coordinates and radius.
  • Pagination: Supports retrieving results across multiple pages using page tokens.
  • Resolve: Converts place names into Place IDs.
  • Details: Retrieves detailed information about a place, including reviews.
  • JSON Output: Provides output in JSON format for scripting.

Example prompts

  • goplaces search "coffee" --open-now --min-rating 4 --limit 5
  • goplaces resolve "Soho, London" --limit 5
  • goplaces details <place_id> --reviews

Tips & gotchas

  • API Key Required: You must configure the GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY environment variable.
  • Type Filter Limitation: The --type filter only sends the first value provided, as the Google Places API accepts a single type parameter.
  • Color Output: Use --no-color or set the NO_COLOR environment variable to disable ANSI color output.
