## What it does

The plugin wires Claude into Fliggy's travel inventory and returns search results as JSON you can pipe, filter or render. Eight commands ship with it: `keyword-search` covers every category at once, `ai-search` handles messy intent like a three-day trip with a per-person budget, and `search-flight`, `search-train`, `search-hotel`, `search-poi` plus two Marriott commands give you structured search with filters.

Under the hood it is a skill copied into `~/.claude/skills/flyai` plus a separate npm CLI, `@fly-ai/flyai-cli`. Commands fail without the CLI, so install it right after the skill. To check, run `flyai keyword-search --query "things to do in Tokyo"` and look for JSON.

No API key is required to start. For enhanced results you set one with `flyai config set FLYAI_API_KEY "your-key"`. One thing to know: results come from Fliggy's inventory, so destinations outside that platform return nothing — worth checking your region before you build a workflow around it.

## Why FlyAI?

You're deep in a conversation with your AI coding agent — planning a trip, researching venues, comparing options. FlyAI lets you **search real-time travel inventory without leaving your terminal**. It connects [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [OpenClaw](https://github.com/nicepkg/openclaw), and other skill-compatible agents to [Fliggy](https://www.fliggy.com/)'s massive travel platform (part of Alibaba Group), giving you structured, bookable results in seconds.

- **Natural language in, structured data out** — ask in plain English or Chinese, get JSON you can pipe, filter, or render
- **Eight specialized search commands** — broad discovery, AI-powered semantic search, or deep comparison, your call
- **Bookable results** — every result includes direct booking links
- **Zero config to start** — works out of the box, optional API key for enhanced results

## Quick Start

### Step 1 — Install the Skill

**OpenClaw:**

```bash
# via clawhub (Recommended)
clawhub install flyai

# or via npx
npx skills add alibaba-flyai/flyai-skill
```

**Claude Code:**

```bash
cp -r /path/to/flyai-skill/skills/flyai ~/.claude/skills/flyai
```

### Step 2 — Install the CLI

```bash
npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
```

### Step 3 — Verify

```bash
flyai keyword-search --query "things to do in Tokyo"
```

You should see structured JSON output. You're good to go.

### Step 4 — Configure (optional)

The skill works without any API keys. For enhanced results, set one up:

```bash
flyai config set FLYAI_API_KEY "your-key"
```

## Commands

FlyAI provides eight commands, each tailored to a different search pattern:

| Command | Purpose | Required Params |
|---------|---------|-----------------|
| `keyword-search` | Natural-language keyword search across all travel categories | `--query` |
| `ai-search` | Semantic search — understands complex intent for highly accurate results | `--query` |
| `search-flight` | Structured flight search with deep filtering | `--origin` |
| `search-train` | Structured train ticket search with deep filtering | `--origin` |
| `search-hotel` | Structured hotel search by destination | `--dest-name` |
