## Installation

**Companion Skills**: This is part of the Camino AI location intelligence suite. Install all 6 skills (query, places, relationship, context, route, journey) for comprehensive coverage.

```bash
# Install all skills from repo
npx skills add https://github.com/barneyjm/camino-skills

# Or install specific skills
npx skills add https://github.com/barneyjm/camino-skills --skill route
```

**Via clawhub:**
```bash
npx clawhub@latest install route
# or: pnpm dlx clawhub@latest install route
# or: bunx clawhub@latest install route
```

# Route - Point-to-Point Navigation

Get detailed routing between two points with distance, duration, and optional turn-by-turn directions.

## Setup

1. Get your API key from [https://app.getcamino.ai](https://app.getcamino.ai)
2. Add to your `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "env": {
    "CAMINO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}
```

3. Restart Claude Code

## Usage

### Via Shell Script

```bash
# Get driving directions
./scripts/route.sh '{
  "start_lat": 40.7128,
  "start_lon": -74.0060,
  "end_lat": 40.7589,
  "end_lon": -73.9851
}'

# Walking directions
./scripts/route.sh '{
  "start_lat": 40.7128,
  "start_lon": -74.0060,
  "end_lat": 40.7589,
  "end_lon": -73.9851,
  "mode": "foot"
}'

# With route geometry for mapping
./scripts/route.sh '{
  "start_lat": 40.7128,
  "start_lon": -74.0060,
  "end_lat": 40.7589,
  "end_lon": -73.9851,
  "mode": "bike",
  "include_geometry": true
}'
```

### Via curl

```bash
curl -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getcamino.ai/route?start_lat=40.7128&start_lon=-74.0060&end_lat=40.7589&end_lon=-73.9851&mode=car"
```

## Use Cases

- **Navigation**: Get turn-by-turn directions for any transport mode
- **Travel time estimation**: Know how long it takes to get between two points
- **Map visualization**: Include geometry data for drawing routes on maps
- **Commute planning**: Compare driving, cycling, and walking times
