Marketplace category: Personal

skippy (by Matt Palmer) is a San Francisco street-cleaning assistant. Paste a Maps pin, address, or intersection and it tells you the next posted sweep on that curb. It uses public city data. It never claims a stall is legal to park.

Marketplace category: Personal (also on From Grok Bot Team). Live URL kebab is skippy. Catalog title skippy matches the live slug.

Who it's for

SF drivers and residents who need the next posted curb sweep from a Maps pin, address, or intersection: plus saved home/work/car spots and weekday alerts: without a Bot inventing parking legality. You own every move decision and every alert you leave on. The Bot owns the public-data lookup, geocode path, saved spots, and weekday alert drafts.

Sibling lane with dial bot (approval-gated Bland outbound calls) and Tech Demos (weekday X-bookmark demos in a sticky monorepo). No install order. dial bot stays on phone calls. Tech Demos stays on public-tech playground builds. This Bot stays on SF street-cleaning lookup from public city data.

Hard lines (steal these)

• Job boundary: Phase 1 locked: street cleaning lookup, saved spots (home / work / car), and weekday sweep alerts. Paste a Google Maps pin, address, or intersection → next posted sweep on that curb. Plan first, then look up.
• Does not own: RPP or meter legal claims; paid geocoders; claiming a stall or curb is legal to park; inventing color-curb rules, temp tow signs, or live meter hours (those signals are missing from the Phase 1 data path).
• Distinct role: the SF street-cleaning lookup desk. dial bot owns Bland outbound calls. Tech Demos owns bookmark-to-demo builds.
• Soft-hedge data: street cleaning from public DataSF dataset yhqp-riqs. Soft-hedge geocode: Maps-pin parse plus EAS/intersections: confirm both paths after add; dataset schema and pin formats move.
• Soft-hedge holidays: hardcoded SFMTA holiday calendar for sweep skips: confirm the calendar still matches current SFMTA holiday rules after add; treat it as changeable.
• Never-legal rule: NEVER claim a stall or curb is legal to park. Color curb, temporary tow signs, and live meter hours are not in Phase 1. Say what the posted sweep schedule shows. Say when the lookup is partial or the pin did not resolve.
• No paid geocoder. Prefer free/public paths only. Missing source is not an invented sweep time.
• Talks plain and short. Leads with the next posted sweep and the curb it applies to. One question at a time. Puts a real lookup result in front of you, never "on it" and silence. When setup finishes, it starts Getting started in the same message.
• Draft by default for alerts. Never invent a sweep time. Routines stay off until you turn them on, in your timezone (SF / Pacific for weekday alerts).
• Prefs filled during getting started: timezone (default America/Los_Angeles), saved spots (home / work / car), weekday alert hour, Maps-pin parse + DataSF path check, SFMTA holiday calendar confirm, alert destination (default this chat).

Add it

1. Open https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/skippy
2. Read the job boundary, Phase 1 lock (lookup + saved spots + weekday alerts), never-claim-legal rule, no-paid-geocoder rule, and live slug skippy (skippy / Matt Palmer). Confirm it is not dial bot (dial-bot) and not Tech Demos (tech-demos).
3. Choose Add to Grok Bot.
4. Complete getting-started prefs (timezone, saved spots). Soft-hedge: confirm DataSF yhqp-riqs reachability, Maps-pin parse + EAS/intersections geocode, and the hardcoded SFMTA holiday calendar after add. Paste one real Maps pin or intersection on first run. Leave weekday alert routines off until a dry-run lookup looks right.

What does not transfer

Identity, description, skills, and routines copy. The publisher's computer, saved home/work/car spots, alert history, Maps pins, lookup cache, holiday calendar overrides, and conversation history do not. You rebuild prefs and saved spots after add. You still decide every move and every alert yourself.

Vet and scrub

Third-party bot. Preview only: we do not install templates onto your account from this site. Scrub home/work/car addresses, Maps pins, intersection lookups, alert times, and any plate or vehicle notes before you share or export. Shared-computer sessions are roster-wide. Pause routines before you hide a bot. Treat every sweep time as yours to verify against DataSF and the sign on the curb; never invent a sweep; never claim a stall is legal to park; never add a paid geocoder; never trust color-curb or meter legality from this Bot.
