Travel Planning

Orchestrates 3 CLI tools to help users plan domestic and international trips — covering hotels, flights, attractions, destination guides, and user reviews.

Prerequisites

  1. kimi-webbridge daemon running:

    ~/.kimi-webbridge/bin/kimi-webbridge status
    

    If not running: invoke the kimi-webbridge skill.

  2. CLI binaries on $PATH:

    • xiaohongshu-cli — install via Homebrew:

      brew install xpzouying/agent-cli/xiaohongshu-cli
      

      (One-time tap setup: brew tap xpzouying/agent-cli. Covers macOS arm64/amd64 and Linux amd64/arm64.)

    • ctrip-cli and booking-cli — build from source:

      git clone https://github.com/better-world-ai/x-cli
      cd x-cli/ctrip-cli   && go build -o ~/.local/bin/ctrip-cli   . && cd ..
      cd booking-cli       && go build -o ~/.local/bin/booking-cli .
      

      Ensure ~/.local/bin is on your $PATH.

    Sanity check:

    ctrip-cli --help && booking-cli --help && xiaohongshu-cli --help

Tips

  • Start with destination overview: Run ctrip-cli destination first to understand the destination, then drill into hotels/flights/attractions.
  • International hotel comparison: Always run both ctrip-cli search-hotels and booking-cli search-hotels for international destinations — prices and availability differ significantly.
  • Ctrip international hotels: Use ctrip-cli destination first to get the hotel_url, extract city-id and country-id from it, then pass to search-hotels. Keyword-only search may return wrong city for international destinations.
  • Xiaohongshu for real tips: Search Xiaohongshu for first-person travel experiences, restaurant recommendations, and hidden gems that structured platforms miss.
  • Date formats differ: Ctrip hotels use YYYY/MM/DD, Ctrip flights use YYYY-MM-DD, Booking uses YYYY-MM-DD.
  • Xiaohongshu search retry: First search call may fail if no browser tab exists yet — simply retry once.
  • Output format: All 3 CLIs return {"ok": true, "data": ...} on success and {"ok": false, "error": {...}} on failure.
