Israeli Restaurants Skill

Search for restaurant availability across OnTopo and Tabit booking platforms.

Installation

Prerequisites

Python >= 3.12
uv package manager

Setup

git clone https://github.com/eytanlevit/israeli-restaurants.git
cd israeli-restaurants
uv sync

No API keys or environment variables required. The CLIs handle all API calls directly.

Add as a Claude Code skill

claude skill add --from /path/to/israeli-restaurants/SKILL.md

CRITICAL: ALWAYS Use the CLI Tools

NEVER search OnTopo/Tabit marketplaces directly or browse their websites. ALWAYS use the CLI commands which search ONLY the user's curated restaurant list in the CSV.

The user does NOT want results from the full marketplaces. They ONLY want results from their personal favorites list.

Commands

Set REPO to wherever you cloned the repo (e.g., ~/projects/israeli-restaurants).

Search all restaurants (batch mode)

# OnTopo restaurants
uv run --script $REPO/ontopo-cli --batch -d YYYYMMDD -t HHMM -p PARTY

# Tabit restaurants
uv run --script $REPO/tabit-cli --batch -d YYYYMMDD -t HHMM -p PARTY

# For comprehensive search, run BOTH commands

Search specific restaurant by name

uv run --script $REPO/ontopo-cli -r "name_or_slug" -d YYYYMMDD -t HHMM -p PARTY
uv run --script $REPO/tabit-cli -r "name_or_org_id" -d YYYYMMDD -t HHMM -p PARTY

Multiple times

uv run --script $REPO/ontopo-cli --batch -d YYYYMMDD -t 1900 -t 2100 -p 2
# or comma-separated:
uv run --script $REPO/ontopo-cli --batch -d YYYYMMDD -t 1900,2045,2100 -p 2

List all Tabit restaurants

uv run --script $REPO/tabit-cli --list

Date Verification

BEFORE running any command:

Check today's date: date +%Y%m%d
Calculate the requested date in YYYYMMDD format
Verify: "Today is [DATE], user requested [DAY], so target date is [YYYYMMDD]"

Hebrew day references:

היום = today
מחר = tomorrow
מוצ"ש / מוצש = Saturday night (Motzei Shabbat)
יום שישי = Friday
יום שבת = Saturday

Date format: YYYYMMDD (e.g., 20260130)

Time Format

HHMM (e.g., 1900 for 7pm)

Defaults

Party: 2
Time: 1900
Date: tomorrow

Output Formatting (Telegram-friendly, Hebrew)

ALWAYS respond in Hebrew. DO NOT use markdown tables.

Format Structure

Hebrew summary line: מצאתי X מסעדות פנויות ל[יום] ([תאריך]) ב-[שעה] ל-[מספר]!
Group by time relevance:
- עם שולחן ב-[שעה] בדיוק: (exact match)
- קרוב ל-[שעה]: (nearby times)
Simple bullet format with time RANGES:
```
• Shila - 19:30-20:30
• Cicchetti - 20:00, 20:45, 21:15
• Romano - 19:30-20:15, 22:00
```
Use ranges when times are consecutive (19:30, 19:45, 20:00 -> "19:30-20:00")

If 10+ restaurants, group by cuisine:

🍣 יפני:
• Gaijin Izakaya - 20:00-21:00
• ASA Izakaya - 19:30, 20:15

🍝 איטלקי:
• Cicchetti - 20:00, 20:45
• Romano - 19:30-20:15

End with follow-up in Hebrew: רוצה שאמליץ על אחת מהן או שתבחר ואשלח לינק להזמנה?

Cuisine Categories (for grouping)

יפני: Gaijin Izakaya, ASA Izakaya, Umai
ים תיכוני/ישראלי: Shila, North Abraxas, Mashya, HaKatan, Port Said, Barbur, Pereh
איטלקי: Cicchetti, Romano, Cafe Italia, Pronto
אסייתי: Taizu, Cichukai
בשרים: OCD, DOK, The Brothers
טאפאס/בר: Chacoli, Bar 51, Milgo & Milbar
שף: A (by Yuval Ben Neriah), Night Kitchen, Santi

Guidelines

Keep restaurant names in English (CSV doesn't have Hebrew)
Use Hebrew for everything else (headers, summaries, questions)
Show time ranges, not every 15-min slot
Do NOT truncate - show all available restaurants
List unavailable briefly at end if relevant: לא פנוי: HaKatan, Mashya

Workflow for "איזה מסעדות פנויות"

Verify today's date with date +%Y%m%d
Calculate target date in YYYYMMDD format
Run ontopo-cli --batch
Run tabit-cli --batch
Combine and present results using the Output Formatting rules above

For general queries like "what's available tonight" or "מסעדה הערב", follow the same workflow -- always run BOTH CLIs to get complete coverage.

Notes

The CSV contains the user's curated list of restaurants
OnTopo uses 8-digit slugs for restaurant IDs
Tabit uses longer org IDs
Both CLIs support --raw for JSON output
