What it does

Mappu is an agent skill from xenodium/emacs-skills. Use when the user asks about a specific place — restaurant, cafe, shop, business, landmark — or when context implies a location-based lookup ("where is X", "find Y", "X in Z", "X near A"). Calls the mappu CLI to search Apple Maps and returns local results with addresses, websites, preview images, and a map snapshot.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Emacs skills for coding agents.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about a specific place — restaurant
  • Context implies a location-based lookup (where is X

Example prompts

  • “where is X”
  • “find Y”
  • “X in Z”
  • “/mappu”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. If the user mentioned a location ("in Soho", "near Charing Cross", "around Tokyo"), use that.
  2. If recent conversation context establishes a location (e.g., they have been talking about restaurants in London), use that.
  3. Otherwise, ask the user "Near where?" before running mappu. Do not guess silently and do not fall back to a default city.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a158238. 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 (its code samples are bash and json).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • rotiking.com
    • maps.apple.com

    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

Mappu loads about 925 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~925

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 355 words (~925 tokens).
