amazon-location-service

amazon-location-service is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seandkendall/kiro-config. It costs 20 tokens per session (2,184 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference skill for Amazon Location Service, an AWS service for maps and location features. It covers routes, geofences, address and place searches, tracking, and map tiles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building navigation, delivery, travel, mapping, or location-aware apps that need directions, address lookup, points of interest, movement tracking, or location-triggered content.
Why use it?
It explains how to add location features while using Amazon Web Services and its underlying map data providers. A geofence is a virtual boundary that can trigger an action when a device enters or leaves an area.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

amazon-location-service scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Amazon Location Service

Overview

Amazon Location Service provides maps, routing, geofencing, geocoding, and tracking — all AWS-native, cost-effective, and privacy-preserving. It uses HERE and Esri as data providers under the hood.

Core Capabilities for Navigation Apps

Feature API Use Case
Route Calculation CalculateRoute Turn-by-turn directions with traffic
Geofencing CreateGeofenceCollection + PutGeofence Trigger podcast content at locations
Geocoding SearchPlaceIndex Convert addresses to coordinates
Reverse Geocoding SearchPlaceIndex Convert coordinates to addresses
Place Search SearchPlaceIndex Find POIs (restaurants, gas, etc.)
Tracking CreateTracker + BatchUpdateDevicePosition Track driver position
Maps GetMapTile Map display (if not using MapKit)

Route Calculation

Basic Route

import boto3

location = boto3.client('location', region_name='us-east-1')

response = location.calculate_route(
    CalculatorName='RoadCastRouteCalculator',
    DeparturePosition=[-114.0719, 51.0447],  # Calgary [lng, lat]
    DestinationPosition=[-115.5708, 51.1784],  # Banff [lng, lat]
    WaypointPositions=[
        [-114.4632, 51.0486],  # Cochrane
    ],
    IncludeLegGeometry=True,
    TravelMode='Car',
    DepartNow=True,
    CarModeOptions={
        'AvoidFerries': False,
        'AvoidTolls': False
    }
)

# Response includes:
# - Legs[].Steps[] (turn-by-turn instructions)
# - Legs[].Geometry.LineString (polyline for map)
# - Summary.Distance, Summary.DurationSeconds
# - Summary.DataSource (HERE or Esri)
