What This Skill Does

Queries Apple Maps via the

goplaces

CLI to search for places, find businesses nearby, and get directions between locations.

CLI Tool:

goplaces

Usage Guidelines

Use natural language for location queries —
```
goplaces
```
handles geocoding automatically.
For "nearby" searches, the current device location is used unless a starting point is specified.
When providing directions, confirm origin and destination with the user if ambiguous.
Present results as a numbered list when multiple places are returned.

Notes

Requires macOS with location services enabled for proximity searches.
Results are sourced from Apple Maps — coverage quality varies by region.
