Overview

This skill helps users decide where to eat right now by returning short, verifiable restaurant recommendations with source links and a current-time snapshot. It prioritizes actionable options you can visit immediately, avoids fabricating facts, and asks up to three quick questions if key details are missing. The goal is a fast, practical decision: which place to go, what to expect, and a Plan B.

How this skill works

When asked for dining suggestions, the skill first checks for missing context (location, party/budget, hard constraints) and may ask up to two or three clarifying questions. It then produces 3–5 nearby candidates (or meal-based pairs for itinerary mode), each accompanied by verifiable fields: name, address level, business hours, price guidance, reservation method, risk notes, and a source link with the local query time. If information is unavailable it marks fields as 'to be confirmed' rather than inventing details.

When to use it

• You want a quick list of restaurants you can visit right now in a specific area.
• You need answers about opening hours, average cost, or whether to reserve.
• You’re choosing by scene (family-friendly, date night, late-night, coffee, desserts).
• You need a Plan B for full/closed venues or bad weather.
• You want traceable sources for any factual claims about a restaurant.

Best practices

• Provide location (city + landmark/metro or neighborhood) up front for the fastest results.
• State party size and budget or accept the default assumption (RMB/person unless confirmed).
• List up to three hard constraints (e.g., vegetarian, no spicy, kid-friendly).
• Treat all hours and crowd/queue comments as snapshots; check links before leaving.
• Accept ‘to be confirmed’ markers when sources don’t provide a specific fact.

Example use cases

• User asks: 'Any good dinner spots near X metro station for 2 people, budget ~RMB 100/person?'
• User asks: 'Where for late-night snacks open after 11pm in downtown?'
• User asks: 'Recommend family-friendly restaurants near the mall, need high chairs.'
• User wants coffee/dessert suggestions around a business district for a 3pm meeting.
• User asks: 'Should I reserve for a Saturday night dinner at popular local restaurants?'
