query

What This Skill Does

The Query skill serves as the primary search engine for the Camino AI location intelligence suite. It acts as a powerful bridge between human-language intent and geospatial data. By leveraging natural language processing, the skill allows you to search for points of interest (POIs) such as restaurants, landmarks, transit hubs, or specific service-oriented locations without needing precise coordinates. When a user provides a vague location or context, the AI automatically resolves geographical references, calculates search radiuses, and fetches enriched metadata to ensure the output is relevant to the user's current intent.

Installation

To get started with the Query skill, you can utilize the clawhub registry for a streamlined experience. Simply execute clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/barneyjm/query in your terminal. For developers preferring to manage dependencies via source, you can clone the repository from openclaw/skills. Ensure that your environment is configured with the CAMINO_API_KEY by adding it to your system variables or your .claude/settings.json file. For a rapid trial, use the provided curl command to fetch a temporary key with 25 pre-loaded calls.

Use Cases

• Urban Planning: Find all coffee shops or fitness centers within a specific radius of a new development site to gauge saturation.
• Travel Planning: Generate tailored itineraries that include specific points of interest based on user preferences and geographical availability.
• Market Research: Analyze the density of specific businesses like ev-chargers or schools in competitive regions to identify gaps in infrastructure.
• Real-Estate Analysis: Quickly look up nearby amenities when evaluating property potential or conducting site selection.

Example Prompts

1. "Find the top-rated Italian restaurants within a 500-meter radius of the Empire State Building that are open late."
2. "Search for public electric vehicle chargers in Downtown Seattle and rank them by proximity to public parking."
3. "List all public elementary schools in the zip code 90210 and provide a summary of their general location details."

Tips & Limitations

For optimal results, specify the radius parameter if you are searching in highly dense urban environments to prevent result flooding. Use the advanced mode for web enrichment if you require deep context beyond basic OpenStreetMap data. Keep in mind that the AI-generated answer flag (answer: true) consumes slightly more processing time, so use it sparingly in high-volume batch tasks. Always verify that your API key is correctly exported in your environment, as the skill will throw authentication errors if it cannot authorize against the Camino AI endpoints.
