SKILL.md# 📍 Local Places
_Find places, Go fast_
Search for nearby places using a local Google Places API proxy. Two-step flow: resolve location first, then search.
## Setup
```bash
cd {baseDir}
echo "GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY=your-key" > .env
uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
uv run --env-file .env uvicorn local_places.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
```
Requires `GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY` in `.env` or environment.
## Quick Start
1. **Check server:** `curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/ping`
2. **Resolve location:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/locations/resolve \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"location_text": "Soho, London", "limit": 5}'
```
3. **Search places:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/places/search \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "coffee shop",
"location_bias": {"lat": 51.5137, "lng": -0.1366, "radius_m": 1000},
"filters": {"open_now": true, "min_rating": 4.0},
"limit": 10
}'
```
4. **Get details:**
```bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/places/{place_id}
```
## Conversation Flow
1. If user says "near me" or gives vague location → resolve it first
2. If multiple results → show numbered list, ask user to pick
3. Ask for preferences: type, open now, rating, price level
4. Search with `location_bias` from chosen location
5. Present results with name, rating, address, open status
6. Offer to fetch details or refine search
## Filter Constraints
- `filters.types`: exactly ONE type (e.g., "restaurant", "cafe", "gym")
- `filters.price_levels`: integers 0-4 (0=free, 4=very expensive)
- `filters.min_rating`: 0-5 in 0.5 increments
- `filters.open_now`: boolean
- `limit`: 1-20 for search, 1-10 for resolve
- `location_bias.radius_m`: must be > 0
## Response Format
```json
{
"results": [
{
"place_id": "ChIJ...",
"name": "Coffee Shop",
"address": "123 Main St",
"location": { "lat": 51.5, "lng": -0.1 },
"rating": 4.6,
"price_level": 2,
"types": ["cafe", "food"],
"open_now": true
}
],
"next_page_token": "..."
}
```
Use `next_page_token` as `page_token` in next request for more results.Signals
