Taxi

What This Skill Does

The Taxi skill is an comprehensive ground transportation assistant designed to optimize every stage of your travel journey. Whether you are commuting, heading to the airport, or arranging travel in a new city, the Taxi skill manages the complexity of rideshares, traditional taxis, and professional car services. It acts as an intelligent layer between you and various booking platforms, handling research, price comparisons, expense tracking, and post-trip issue resolution. By maintaining a structured memory repository in ~/taxi/, the agent learns your specific preferences—such as vehicle requirements, saved locations, and budget sensitivities—to provide tailored recommendations that align with your lifestyle.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/taxi After installation, ensure you initialize your workspace by setting up the files defined in memory-template.md located within the ~/taxi/ directory. This allows the agent to immediately access your preferences and account context.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for professionals who travel frequently or users seeking to minimize travel expenses. Common use cases include:

• Airport Transfers: Comparing the cost and convenience of shuttle services, rideshares, and private car services to decide on the most efficient transit method.
• Expense Management: Automatically logging trip details and costs into trips.md for easy reporting.
• Price Monitoring: Tracking fluctuating demand during peak hours to alert you when surge pricing dissipates.
• Complex Coordination: Finding pet-friendly or wheelchair-accessible vehicles across multiple platforms.

Example Prompts

1. "Find me the cheapest way to get to JFK airport tomorrow at 8 AM, and check if there are any active promo codes I can use for Uber or Lyft."
2. "I need a car that fits 5 people and luggage; compare pricing between an XL rideshare and a private car service for my trip home tonight."
3. "My driver took a wrong turn yesterday which added $15 to the fare. Can you help me draft a dispute message for the taxi company?"

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the utility of the Taxi skill, keep your accounts.md and memory.md files updated with your latest preferences. The agent is highly effective at automating the research and pre-filling stages of booking; however, due to security protocols inherent in most mobility platforms, final payment authorization and phone verification must be completed manually by the user. Always verify the vehicle details and driver identity in your specific app before boarding, as the agent functions as an orchestration layer rather than a direct interface for physical transport.
