SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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
