PVR INOX Radar · a Claude Code skill

Four seats together. Twelve minutes away.

Ask in plain English. The skill reads live showtimes and seat maps across the PVR INOX chain, checks drive times from where you are, and hands you one map to decide from. Read-only: you book on pvrcinemas.com.

Answer

What comes back

One self-contained HTML map. Venue pins colored by availability, your location marked, everything within your travel budget.
Exact seat counts for the shortlisted shows, read from the live seat map: "2 together: yes (best run 10)", not a vague label.
Drive-time estimates per venue: OSRM when reachable, honest heuristics when not, always labeled.
A book link per show that lands directly on that show's seat picker on pvrcinemas.com.
A plain table under the map with the full answer, so the page works with no JavaScript and no tiles.

The fine print, honestly

Scope and credit

Read-only, personal use. The skill reads the same JSON the PVR INOX website uses, politely paced, and never books, holds seats, or touches payment. Scope is the merged PVR INOX chain (about 116 Indian cities); other chains and BookMyShow listings are out of scope.

Worth knowing. PVR withholds some seat rows and releases them later, so a show that reads sold out may simply not be on sale yet. Counted seats are a floor, not a ceiling.
