About this skill
Problem: Trip planning often starts too late
Many assistants jump straight to attractions, hotels, and flights. The real blockers are usually entry eligibility, whether dates are truly fixed, hard budget limits, local service coverage, and whether a map or comparison platform is appropriate for the destination market. If design happens before facts are checked, stale assumptions can become itinerary decisions, and a one-day date shift can invalidate ticket anchors and day indexes.
How it works: decide before researching
travel-buddy positions itself as a personal travel decision agent. It separates hard constraints from preferences: a named city, country, or continent is treated as a confidence-scored constraint until the destination is confirmed. Factors that can kill the trip, such as entry feasibility, reachability, and budget, are checked first. Stable reasoning is kept separate from volatile facts: fares, weather, operating hours, entry rules, exchange rates, and local transport must come from tools, official sources, or web research, and each important recommendation is labeled as an estimate, researched current information, or user-confirmed. The research order is treated as a correctness rule: ask disqualifiers first, collect one consolidated checkpoint, then design; anchors, opening hours, and weather are not researched until dates are final.
Boundaries and notes
It is intended for advice and planning, not for bookings, purchases, account changes, or presenting linked options as reserved. For mainland China routes, it prefers Amap as the verified primary map-link candidate instead of assuming Google Maps works everywhere. It should not recommend VPNs, proxies, account workarounds, or credential sharing to make a service accessible. If live data is unavailable, the skill should leave the fact unverified and offer a verification step rather than filling gaps from memory. Reusable profiles are local-only, require explicit consent, and must not store account context, document numbers, payment details, or precise addresses.
Use Cases
- User gives rough region, country, and dates; eliminate destinations blocked by visa, fixed dates, or budget
- After dates are final, compare flights, hotels, and comparison platforms while labeling fares and cancellation sources
- When planning a mainland China city trip, provide Amap-first maps, transit, and local service links instead of defaulting to Google Maps
- Before creating a reusable travel profile, explain local storage and obtain explicit consent
Best For
- Independent travelers worried that visa or entry eligibility may invalidate their budget
- Trip organizers comparing multiple destinations and needing infeasible options removed first
- Independent developers who need dates, budget, and party constraints turned into a structured itinerary
- Business travelers visiting mainland China who need local map and transit links rather than global defaults
