What it does

Guided trip planning workflow. Asks destination, dates, travelers, class, and flexibility, then runs parallel flight/hotel search with cpp math and booking plan.

Installed, it changes the agent in these ways.

What this skill changes about the agent is not written down here yet. The listing was collected from its source, and the description is in its own SKILL.md.

Workflow

Runs a procedure end to end.

The skill itself

This is the whole product. A skill is instructions the model reads, so there is nothing behind the listing you cannot see first — the front matter loads with every session, and the body below it loads when the skill triggers.

10# Plan Trip Skill
11
12The user invoked this skill explicitly. Run a guided trip planning workflow that produces a concrete, opinionated recommendation with cents-per-point math, transfer paths, and a booking plan.
13
14## How to run this
15
16If the user already gave details in their prompt arguments, use those. Otherwise, ask in this order, one question at a time. Don't fire all the questions at once.
17
181. **Where?** Destination(s). Accept regions ("Scandinavia"), cities ("Tokyo"), or specific airports.
192. **When?** Departure month or date range. Note flexibility: "exact dates" vs "any week in March" matters a lot for award availability.
203. **Who?** Number of travelers, ages if children/infants. The toolkit supports infant pricing and seat configurations.
214. **What class?** Economy / premium economy / business / first. Default to economy if unstated.
225. **Trip length?** Number of nights at destination if applicable.
236. **Points or cash?** Three valid answers: "best of both" (default), "points only" (treat cash as last resort), "cash only" (skip award search).
24
25After question 6, confirm the plan back to the user in one sentence and start the workflow.
26
27## The workflow
28
29Once you have the inputs:
30
311. **Load lessons-learned** first. Non-optional. Other skills depend on it.
322. **Load flight-search-strategy** for the canonical parallel search plan.
333. **Pull balances** via the awardwallet skill if the user's intent is points or "best of both" AND if balances aren't already in this session's context. Skip the pull if you already know them.
344. **Run cash search in parallel** via duffel, ignav, google-flights, and the relevant free MCPs (Skiplagged, Kiwi).
355. **Run award search in parallel** via seats-aero across ALL programs (never filter to one program upfront — see lessons-learned).
366. **Cross-reference** with transfer-partners and transfer-bonuses to find the cheapest currency you actually have.
377. **Apply points-valuations** to compute cents-per-point on each award option.
388. **Surface anything from award-sweet-spots** that matches this route.
399. **Check stopovers** if the destination involves a connection. Multi-city trips might unlock "two destinations for the price of one" via Aeroplan, Alaska, or Flying Blue.
4010. **Show the math** in a markdown table. One row per option, ranked. Columns: program, miles cost, cash co-pay, total $ value, cpp, hold-before-transfer rule, recommendation.
4111. **Pick a winner** with one-sentence reasoning.
4212. **Show booking next steps** via booking-guidance: which program to call, hold rules, transfer timing, phone numbers if needed.
43
44## Hotels and ground transit
45
46If the trip is more than just flights, mention these as available next steps in your closing summary (not as a question):
47- Hotels via compare-hotels (FHR/THC/Edit/Booking/Trivago/Airbnb/TaW)
48- Stopover side trips via stopovers + the relevant transit skill (scandinavia-transit for Norway/Sweden/Denmark, deutsche-bahn for Germany / Austria / Switzerland / Netherlands / France / Belgium)
49- Atlas Obscura suggestions for unique places at the destination
50- Airport route sanity check via wikipedia-airports if the user asks about an obscure carrier or regional service
51
52Don't dump all of these at once. Lead with the flight recommendation. Mention hotels/activities as concrete follow-up actions the user can ask for next.
53
54## Output style
55
56- Markdown tables for results
57- Bold the winning option
58- Always show cpp on award redemptions
59- Cite the source skill for each piece of data ("via seats-aero", "via awardwallet")
60- End with a "Next steps" section listing concrete follow-up commands the user can issue. Examples: "Next steps: I can check specific dates around X, search hotels at Y, look up sweet-spot redemptions you're not using." This must be a declarative statement, NOT a question. Don't write "Want me to..." or "Should I..." (the system prompt's PRE-OUTPUT GATE bans those patterns).
61
62## Don't do this
63
64- Don't dump 12 options. Pick 3-5 and rank.
65- Don't assume the user has every API key. If a key is missing, say so and tell them what's still searchable. Cash flights work without any keys at all.
66- Don't transfer points speculatively. The booking-guidance skill enforces "hold before transfer" rules. Respect them.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈80
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
1,070
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
0.57%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 6% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

1.1k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Small enough to keep loaded permanently without thinking about it.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been published here. It is in the skill’s own SKILL.md, which its author has not sent to the marketplace yet.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It writes no files and reaches no network. All it changes is how the model reasons and writes.

What it asks for
Writes filesno
Network accessno

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 4.6 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md4.6 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

Keeps workingfor good — the files are yours once they are on disk
Updatesevery update its author ships, delivered through this account

You can read the whole bundle before paying — the SKILL.md above is the product, not a preview of it. What the money buys is the delivery: the folder packaged and handed to your machine by key, every update its author ships, and our support if it does not do what this listing says. The terms of use are MIT, set by the author and unchanged by buying it here.

Payment runs through Stripe, on a page like this one rather than a redirect. Once there is an account it joins the same mcprush invoice as everything else you run, so there is never a second card to enter.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. A client with a skills folder reads it without being told; everywhere else the same text works, it is just handed to the model rather than found.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.

Reviews

no reviews yet · no installs yet

Nobody has reviewed this skill yet. The rating is the mean of the reviews written here, so there is none until somebody writes the first.

Who can post

Only accounts that have had the skill installed for fourteen days, so a review is written after living with it rather than after reading it. Publishers may reply once.
