SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the friction of starting a new travel project by automating the creation of directory structures, configuration files, and trip metadata.

Core Features & Use Cases

Interactive Scaffolding: Guides users through a structured interview to define trip parameters like destination, dates, and traveler interests.
Standardized Configuration: Automatically generates a validated trip.yaml file and sets up the necessary research and logging directories.
Use Case: Quickly initialize a new trip to Kyoto by answering a few prompts, ensuring all subsequent research and planning tools have the correct context and file structure to function immediately.

Quick Start

Run the intake skill to begin the setup process for a new trip by following the interactive prompts.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate travel planning project scaffolding for a new trip?▼

To automate travel planning project scaffolding, you run an interactive intake process that collects trip parameters and generates a standardized filesystem structure. This creates configuration files and research subdirectories automatically, removing the friction of manual project setup.

What is a trip.yaml manifest and when do I need it for itinerary management?▼

A trip.yaml manifest is a standardized configuration file that stores validated trip metadata like destination, dates, and traveler preferences. You need it when initializing a travel planning project to ensure subsequent research and planning tools have the correct context.

Can I set up research subdirectories locally without manual folder creation?▼

Yes, you can set up research subdirectories locally without manual creation by using an automated scaffolding process. The intake skill operates within a local working directory to instantly generate the necessary logging and research folders for your trip pipeline.

What's the best way to initialize a standardized directory structure for trip management?▼

The best way to initialize a standardized directory structure for trip management is through interactive scaffolding. By answering a few prompts about your destination and dates, the system automatically creates your validated configuration files and research directories.

Do I need specific traveler preferences to generate a valid travel project configuration?▼

Yes, you need valid user input for destination, dates, and traveler preferences to populate the trip configuration. The interactive interview guides you through defining these parameters, which are required to generate the validated manifest.

Why does my travel planning pipeline require a standardized filesystem structure?▼

Your travel planning pipeline requires a standardized filesystem structure so that subsequent research and planning tools have the correct context and file locations to function immediately. This automated setup ensures configuration files and directories are consistently validated.
