SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual effort of checking multiple hotel portals, metasearch engines, and vacation rental sites separately by producing one unified, benefit-adjusted comparison so users can pick the best booking path quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel multi-source search: Runs SerpAPI/Google Hotels, Trivago, LiteAPI, Airbnb, and optional Chase/Amex portal searches in parallel to capture cash, portal, and rental inventory.
  • Premium program detection & stacking: Cross-references local FHR, THC, and Chase Edit property databases to tag properties and identify stacking opportunities and card-credit usage.
  • Points and benefit-adjusted ranking: Computes points CPP and adjusts totals for portal benefits (FHR/THC/Edit credits, breakfast, upgrades) to produce a ranked table of best value options.
  • Robust reporting & error handling: Returns per-source status (ok, error, skipped), result counts, and clear notes when portal tools require Docker or credentials.
  • Use case: Compare hotel vs Airbnb for a 4-night Paris trip and determine whether to book via Amex FHR, Chase Edit, direct booking, or use points.

Quick Start

Use the compare-hotels skill to search Chase, Amex, Google/SerpAPI, Trivago, LiteAPI, and Airbnb for hotels in Paris from 2026-08-11 to 2026-08-15 and return a unified, benefit-adjusted ranked table with stacking recommendations.
