route
Get detailed routing between two points with distance, duration, and optional turn-by-turn directions. Use when you need navigation instructions or travel time estimates between locations.
Why use this skill?
Integrate powerful route planning into your OpenClaw agent. Get precise driving, walking, and biking directions with distance and ETA data via the Camino API.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/barneyjm/routeWhat This Skill Does
The Route skill is a high-precision navigation tool designed for the OpenClaw AI agent to provide real-time travel intelligence. By interfacing with the Camino API, it translates coordinate-based inputs into actionable journey data, including total distance, estimated arrival times (ETA), and granular turn-by-turn navigation instructions. Whether you are optimizing a delivery route, planning a walking commute, or need to calculate travel times for urban logistics, this skill acts as your primary engine for geospatial routing.
Installation
To integrate this skill, you have two primary methods. For a standard environment, use the OpenClaw CLI via the repository path:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/barneyjm/route
Alternatively, if you are managing your own node environment, you can install it via npm from the primary Camino skill repository:
npx skills add https://github.com/barneyjm/camino-skills --skill route
Ensure your CAMINO_API_KEY is configured in your ~/.claude/settings.json file to enable authentication with the routing engine. You can obtain a free trial key by calling the trial endpoint provided in the documentation.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for AI-driven logistics, personal trip planning, and location-based data analysis. Use it to determine if a location is reachable within a specific time constraint, to generate visual paths for mapping applications using the include_geometry flag, or to compare travel times between different modes of transport like cycling versus driving. It is a foundational component for any agent managing physical movement or coordination.
Example Prompts
- "Calculate the fastest driving route from my current location at 40.7128, -74.0060 to the office at 40.7589, -73.9851 and give me the ETA."
- "If I decide to walk instead of drive, how much extra time will it add to my trip to the coordinates 40.7589, -73.9851?"
- "Generate the full route geometry for a bike ride starting at 40.7128, -74.0060 ending at 40.7589, -73.9851 so I can visualize the path on my dashboard."
Tips & Limitations
Always specify the mode parameter clearly, as the routing engine defaults to 'car'. If you require turn-by-turn text descriptions, ensure the API call includes sufficient detail. Note that the accuracy of the route is dependent on live traffic data; in high-density urban areas, consider using smaller coordinate segments for higher precision. Remember that this skill requires an active internet connection to query the external Camino servers and may be subject to rate limits based on your subscription tier.
