Agent Implementation Notes

Platform note: If your human is on Windows, they'll need WSL, Git Bash, or Cygwin to run this skill.

Script location: {skill_folder}/breweries (wrapper) → scripts/breweries

When user asks about breweries:

1. Run ./breweries search "name" to find by name
2. Run ./breweries city "city" for location-based search
3. Run ./breweries state "state" for state-wide search
4. Run ./breweries type brewpub for specific types
5. Run ./breweries random for discovery/recommendations

Common patterns:

• "Find me a brewery in [city]" → breweries city "[city]"
• "What breweries are in [state]?" → breweries state "[state]"
• "Search for [name] brewery" → breweries search "[name]"
• "Surprise me with a brewery" → breweries random
• "Where can I get craft beer in [city]?" → breweries city "[city]" or breweries type micro

Don't use for: Bars without brewing, liquor stores, wine/spirits.
