safety-checker

What This Skill Does

The safety-checker skill is a specialized tool within the Camino AI location intelligence suite designed to provide immediate, context-aware information for individuals concerned about their safety in unfamiliar or nighttime environments. By leveraging geographical data, this agent can identify essential resources such as 24-hour businesses, well-lit public spaces, transit hubs, police stations, and medical facilities within a defined radius. It is an indispensable tool for travelers, night-shift workers, or anyone navigating urban environments late at night who needs to quickly find a safe haven or a reliable point of transit.

Installation

To integrate this capability, you can use standard package management via clawhub. Run the following command in your terminal:

npx clawhub@latest install safety-checker

Alternatively, if you prefer installing from the source repository, you can clone the camino-skills collection using:

npx skills add https://github.com/barneyjm/camino-skills --skill safety-checker

After installation, ensure your CAMINO_API_KEY is correctly configured in your ~/.claude/settings.json file to enable the agent to query the underlying location intelligence API.

Use Cases

• Solo Travel Security: Instantly identify the nearest police station or open pharmacy when exploring a new city after dark.
• Commuter Planning: Find safe transit nodes that are operational at late hours to minimize time spent walking in isolated areas.
• Medical Preparedness: Quickly locate the nearest hospital or emergency center relative to your current coordinates.
• Nightlife Safety: Evaluate the density of open businesses in your current surroundings to ensure you remain in a well-populated area.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm currently at 40.7506, -73.9935. Can you find me the closest open pharmacies and police stations within 500 meters?"
2. "I need to walk home in 20 minutes. Check the area around my location for 24-hour businesses and well-lit transit stops so I can stay in populated zones."
3. "Is there a hospital nearby? I'm at 37.7749, -122.4194, and I need to be prepared for an emergency."

Tips & Limitations

• Accuracy: Always verify the provided hours of operation, as businesses may change their 24-hour status unexpectedly.
• Radius: Start with the default 500-meter search; if few results appear, expand the radius incrementally to 800 or 1000 meters.
• Context: Always pair this skill with situational awareness; the agent provides data, but it cannot predict real-time environmental threats.
