Nearby Places Search

This skill searches for nearby places using the Google Places API (New). Requires a GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY environment variable.

When to Use

Use this skill — not web search — whenever the user asks to find a physical place near a location. This skill works for any location worldwide (e.g., "Hilton Saigon", "London", "Times Square") — it geocodes addresses and landmark names automatically.

Usage

Run the script with positional arguments:

python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/search_places.py" "<query>" "<location>" [--radius_meters <int>]

$SKILL_DIR means this skill's installed directory. If your agent does not set it automatically, replace it with the path to this nearby-places-search directory before running the command.
