What problem does it solve?
This skill standardizes and speeds up 12306 train schedule inquiries by providing verified browser SOP-driven workflows and URL-based direct-query strategies to ensure accurate results for users querying train times, seat availability, and connections.
Core Features & Use Cases
- URL-based direct query: Constructs a precise 12306 URL and parses structured results to return train numbers, departure/arrival times, durations, and seat availability.
- Fallback form-based workflow: If direct URL querying fails, switches to a browser-driven form interaction on the official site to retrieve data.
- Cross-route support: Handles short and long-distance trips across multiple regions, with robust station code resolution and date formatting.
- Error handling & validation: Validates inputs (stations, dates), detects no-result scenarios, and provides guided recovery steps.
Quick Start
Query the next available trains from origin to destination on a specific date and receive train times and seat availability.
