About
goplaces is a Claude skill that drives the goplaces CLI to query the Google Places API (New) for text search, place resolution, place details, and reviews. A developer uses it to look up places by name or query and to bias results by location, either for human-readable output or as JSON for scripts. It matters because it turns place-lookup into a single command line call backed by Google Places.
- Wraps the goplaces CLI over the Google Places API (New) for text search, resolve, details and reviews
- Human-readable output by default, --json for scripting
- Requires a GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY environment variable
