Area Amenities map kit for any NC address — the recognizable businesses (grocery, retail, restaurants, coffee, gyms, pharmacies, hotels, healthcare) near a listing, ranked by prominence with their brand logos, laid out on a basemap. Returns a downloadable designer kit (basemap + logo images + a placements manifest) the marketing team drops into Claude Design to compose the flyer's amenities map. Answers "what's around this site", "nearby businesses / amenities near [address]", "map the retail around [address]" for a flyer / OM / BOV. Wraps the lee-raleigh-mcp pull_nearby_businesses tool.

From the source SKILL.md

Build the "Area Amenities" panel for a listing: the well-known businesses near a site (the Harris Teeter, the Starbucks, the Costco), grouped on a map with their logos, for any NC address. The output is a designer asset-kit — a downloadable folder the marketing team composes into the final flyer map in Claude Design. It does NOT return a finished image; it returns the ingredients (a basemap, the brand logos, and a placements manifest that says where each business goes).
