maps

Distance, routing, and geocoding using free APIs (OSRM + Nominatim/OSM). Use when the user asks about distance between places, travel time, directions, how far something is, or needs to convert a place name to coordinates. No API key required. Requires python3 (3.6+).

Best use case

maps is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Distance, routing, and geocoding using free APIs (OSRM + Nominatim/OSM). Use when the user asks about distance between places, travel time, directions, how far something is, or needs to convert a place name to coordinates. No API key required. Requires python3 (3.6+).

Teams using maps should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Maps

Free distance/routing (OSRM) and geocoding (Nominatim/OSM). No API keys needed.

## Geocoding (place name → coordinates)

```bash
bash scripts/geocode.sh "Times Square, New York"
```

Returns lat,lon and display name. Use this first when you have place names instead of coordinates.

## Distance & Route

```bash
bash scripts/distance.sh <origin_lat>,<origin_lon> <dest_lat>,<dest_lon> [mode]
```

Modes: `driving` (default), `foot`, `bicycle`

Examples:
```bash
# Manhattan to JFK Airport
bash scripts/distance.sh 40.7580,-73.9855 40.6413,-73.7781 driving

# Golden Gate Park to Fisherman's Wharf (walking)
bash scripts/distance.sh 37.7694,-122.4862 37.8080,-122.4177 foot
```

## Workflow

1. If user gives place names → geocode both with `geocode.sh`
2. Use returned lat,lon pairs with `distance.sh`
3. Report distance in km and duration in minutes

## Limits

- OSRM: free public demo server, no hard rate limit but be reasonable
- Nominatim: max 1 request/second (OSM policy), include User-Agent
- No live traffic data — durations are estimates based on road type/speed
- Routing is road-network only (no public transit)

Workflow & Productivity

Meeting Prep

3891
from openclaw/skills

Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.

Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task. Also review learnings before major tasks.
