What is Translink CLI?
The Translink CLI skill provides a robust framework for developers working with South East Queensland transit data. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, users can seamlessly interface with GTFS datasets, perform complex joins across routes and stops, and access realtime vehicle updates through a standardized command-line or slash-command interface.
This skill is designed to bridge the gap between raw transit data and actionable insights, offering a suite of commands that handle the heavy lifting of data extraction, caching, and schema validation. It ensures that developers always have access to the most authoritative and fresh transit information available.
Translink CLI Use Cases
- Look up specific bus or train schedules using GTFS static data.
- Troubleshoot schema drift and validate field-level errors in transit datasets.
- Join complex relationships between stops, trips, and shapes using PK/FK reasoning.
- Monitor realtime vehicle positions and service alerts for specific routes.
- Generate paginated reports or JSON exports of transit metadata for external applications.
How Translink CLI Works
- Initialize the environment by ensuring the Translink CLI scripts are installed in the system PATH.
- Execute translink_schedule_refresh to pull the latest GTFS static data and validate the local cache.
- Formulate queries using shared parameters like --where, --contains, or --in to filter specific transit entities.
- Leverage the skill's fuzzy matching engine to correct field name errors based on the JSON error payload suggestions.
- Access realtime data streams with the --expand or --raw flags for deep inspection of current transit status.
Translink CLI Setup
To use this Openclaw Skills extension, first install the prerequisite CLI scripts from the official repository:
git clone https://github.com/alanburchill/traslink-cli-scripts
# Add the cloned directory to your system PATH
Verify the installation by running the refresh command to populate your local cache:
translink_schedule_refresh
Translink CLI Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill maintains a local cache and auto-generates schema documentation to ensure data integrity. Data is organized as follows:
| Resource | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Static Cache | ~/.openclaw/cache/translink/ | Local storage for GTFS zip and extracted data |
| Live Schema | references/schema-generated.md | Authoritative field definitions and column types |
| Relationships | references/relationships.md | Mapping of Primary and Foreign keys for joins |
| Command Contract | references/commands.md | Documentation for parameters and error codes |
Translink CLI Advanced Features
- Automated daily refresh via cron at 5:00 AM local time to ensure data freshness.
- Concurrent execution protection using a dedicated refresh lock to prevent data corruption.
- Header-driven schema adaptation that automatically detects and incorporates new columns into the query engine.
- Comprehensive join support across stops, stop_times, calendar, and shapes for complex data modeling.
- Advanced realtime data parsing including epoch/ISO time formatting and nested JSON expansion for deep telemetry analysis.
