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

firecrawl-build-interact
Integrate Firecrawl `/interact` into product code for dynamic pages and browser actions after scraping. Use when a feature needs clicks, form fills, pagination, authentication-aware flows, or other multi-step interactions that plain `/scrape` cannot complete.
firecrawl-build
Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app — web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.
