Installation

Companion Skills: This is part of the Camino AI location intelligence suite. Install all available skills (query, places, relationship, context, route, journey, real-estate, hotel-finder, ev-charger, school-finder, parking-finder, fitness-finder, safety-checker, travel-planner) for comprehensive coverage.

# 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:

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

These skills shell out to curl and authenticate via the CAMINO_API_KEY environment variable. Sign up at https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate for 100 free calls/month and an API key.

Add your key to Claude Code:

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

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

Restart Claude Code.

Alternative — pay-per-request via x402: Camino's paid endpoints also accept HTTP 402 payments in USDC on Base ($0.001/request) from any x402-capable client, with no signup or API key. These skills don't use this path; it's for agents and clients that speak x402 natively.
