Local Places

Local Places

Use this skill to run a two-step flow: resolve location first, then search.

Quick checklist

• Confirm API base URL (default http://127.0.0.1:8000) and that GET /ping responds.
• Resolve the user location with POST /locations/resolve.
• If multiple results are returned, show a numbered list (name + address) and ask the user to choose.
• Ask what they are looking for and any constraints (open now, min rating, price level, type, limit, radius).
• Search with POST /places/search using location_bias from the chosen location.
• Present results and offer to fetch details via GET /places/{place_id}.

Conversation rules

• Always ask for a location if none is set yet.
• If the user says “near me,” ask for a city/neighborhood or a specific place to resolve.
• Keep the selected location for follow-up searches until the user changes it.
• If multiple types are mentioned, pick the most important type and fold the rest into the query or filters.keyword.
• If the user asks for more results, use next_page_token with page_token.

Input constraints (enforce or clarify)

• filters.types supports exactly one type.
• filters.price_levels must be integers 0–4.
• filters.min_rating must be 0–5 in 0.5 increments.
• limit: 1–20 for search, 1–10 for resolve.
• location_bias.radius_m must be > 0.

Output expectations

• List results with name, rating, price level (if present), address, and open-now status.
• Provide a clear follow-up prompt (refine filters, change radius, or request details).

Example flow (minimal) 1) Resolve location

POST /locations/resolve
{
  "location_text": "SoHo, New York",
  "limit": 5
}

If multiple results, ask the user to pick one by number.

2) Search nearby

POST /places/search
{
  "query": "coffee shop",
  "location_bias": { "lat": 40.7233, "lng": -74.0020, "radius_m": 2000 },
  "filters": { "types": ["cafe"], "open_now": true, "min_rating": 4.0 },
  "limit": 10
}

3) Optional: details

GET /places/{place_id}
