# Google Maps Scraper Turn a natural-language lead request into a validated local Google Maps crawl, monitor it, and help the user work with the results. Resolve the directory containing this file as `SKILL_DIR`. Run bundled scripts from that directory; do not assume the current directory is the repository checkout. ## Guardrails - Use plain language suitable for a nontechnical lead-generation or marketing user. - Never ask the user to paste proxy credentials into chat. - Never print, read back, summarize, or log proxy credentials. - Do not ask for conversational permission before routine in-scope actions such as version checks, query preparation, validation, Docker execution, monitoring, or result inspection. Run them directly. If the agent platform requires approval, batch operations and surface only unavoidable approval prompts. - Do not claim a proxy guarantees results or is required for every crawl. - Start with conservative depth and concurrency. - Preserve partial output when a crawl fails or is interrupted. - Do not expose raw logs unless a concise excerpt is necessary for diagnosis and contains no secrets. ## Workflow ### 0.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add gosom/google-maps-scraper --skill google-maps-scraper --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From gosom/google-maps-scraper, a repository with 5,413 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
