geo-sleuth
An agent skill that finds where a photo was taken — OpenStreetMap geometry, elevation skylines, satellite imagery and street view — and shows its work. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and GitHub Copilot.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an LLM agent skill/tool wrapper is straightforward, but robust geolocation matching using OpenStreetMap geometry, elevation skyline profiles, and satellite imagery requires complex GIS and computer vision heuristics.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a Python/FastAPI backend integrating GIS libraries (GDAL, Shapely, PyProj), digital elevation models (SRTM/Copernicus DEM), and OpenStreetMap APIs (Overpass). The hard part is developing multi-modal image matching algorithms that extract skyline horizons or building footprints from a photo and correlate them with DEM projections and GIS vector layers. It demands domain expertise in spatial analysis, photogrammetry, and computer vision.
