What it does

Browsing Maps Google is an agent skill from browsing-skills/browsing-skills. Use when the user wants to interact with Google Maps — search for places by query and extract the sidebar list of results (names, ratings, addresses, categories), or extract detailed data from a specific place page (name, address, phone, hours, rating, website). Works on maps.google.com and google.com/maps. No login required for public data; a real browser is needed for full DOM rendering.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/place-data.md` and `references/place-search.md`).

It works with Google Maps Platform. The repository describes itself as: Open-source registry of browser-automation skills for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to interact with Google Maps — search for places by query and extract the sidebar list of results (names
  • Extract detailed data from a specific place page (name

Example prompts

  • “/browsing-maps-google”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07855b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Browsing Maps Google loads about 385 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~385
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Google Maps — Browsing Skill

Use this index to choose the Google Maps action that matches the user request, then open the linked reference file for the complete navigation, requirements, code, and return shape.

Action Index

  • place-search — Search Google Maps for a query and extract the list of place results from the sidebar: names, ratings, review counts, addresses, categories, and open/closed status. Full spec: references/place-search.md.
  • place-data — Extract detailed information from a specific Google Maps place page: name, address, phone, website, hours, rating, review count, price level, and category. Full spec: references/place-data.md.

Benchmarks

Benchmarks compare the maintained skill action against a no-skill browser agent that inspects the live page DOM and derives selectors at runtime. Full notes live in BENCHMARKS.md.
