Travel guide skill

Use this skill when the user wants a city travel guide, itinerary, or downloadable PDF trip-planning document.

Workflow

  1. Identify the city or destination from the user's request.
  2. Infer the trip length and interests when provided. If the user does not specify them, use a 3-day guide and a balanced mix of culture, food, neighborhoods, views, and practical tips.
  3. Run the PDF generator script:
    • skill name: travel-guide
    • script name: scripts/create_travel_guide.py
    • args: a JSON array of string CLI flags and values. Supported flags:

      • --tone <style>: guide style such as family-friendly, luxury, budget, or first-time visitor, optional
  4. After the script returns, tell the user the $HOME-based PDF path and briefly summarize the guide.
