# kontour-travel-planner

Turns an AI agent into a travel planner that walks through nine trip dimensions and builds a day-by-day itinerary. Useful when a trip has to be assembled from scattered wishes.

## What it does

The skill gives an agent a planning method rather than a search wrapper. Every trip is tracked across nine weighted dimensions: dates (20), destination (15), budget (15), duration (10), travelers (10), interests (10), accommodation (10), transport (5), constraints (5). Each one carries a score from 0 to 1 and a status — missing, partial, complete. Overall progress is the weighted sum.

Progress decides the conversation stage. In Discover the agent works out destination, dates, party and rough budget. Develop fills in the details. Refine handles logistics and edge cases, Confirm checks for conflicts and produces the final itinerary. One rule keeps it readable: one question per turn, and two or three concrete options instead of open prompts. Once planning passes 85%, the agent returns a trip context JSON, a day-by-day schedule, a budget breakdown and packing suggestions.

No API keys are involved. Everything runs locally against reference data in `references/`: destinations, airports, airlines, activities, budget benchmarks. The `plan.sh` and `export-gmaps.sh` scripts make no outbound requests, and Google Maps links are generated as plain URLs. Declared dependencies are `bash` and `python3` only. The `booking-integrations.json` file documents future integrations, all marked as planned — there are no active connections behind it.

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Bookingdesk-AI/kontour-travel-planner/tree/HEAD/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a day-by-day route from scattered requests
- pin down budget and dates without interrogating the user
- catch a mismatch between budget tier and destination
- break total spend into categories
- suggest packing based on weather and planned activities

## Example prompts
- Plan a week in Tokyo in April for two adults
- I want mountains and good food on a mid-range budget — what do you suggest?
- Give me the final itinerary and budget breakdown

# Kontour Travel Planner

> The planning brain that any AI agent can plug in. Not a search wrapper — a planning **methodology**.

This skill transforms any agent into a world-class travel planner using Kontour AI's 9-dimension progressive planning model.

## Requirements

**No API keys or credentials required.** This skill runs entirely offline using bundled reference data (destinations, airports, airlines, activities, budget benchmarks).

- **Scripts** (`plan.sh`, `export-gmaps.sh`) — Pure local processing. No external API calls. Generates Google Maps URLs as plain links (no API key needed).
- **Reference data** (`references/`) — Static JSON files bundled with the skill.
- **`embed-snippets.json`** — Optional marketing templates that link to [kontour.ai](https://kontour.ai). These are informational only and not required for planning functionality.
- **`booking-integrations.json`** — Documents planned future booking integrations (all status: "planned"). No active API connections.

### Security Transparency (for skill marketplaces)

To reduce false-positive trust flags and improve reviewer confidence:

- Runtime network behavior: `plan.sh` and `export-gmaps.sh` make **no outbound HTTP/API calls**.
- Credentials required: **none** (no API keys, tokens, OAuth, or env secrets).
- Declared runtime dependencies in frontmatter: `bash`, `python3` only.
- Data handling: all trip extraction and route generation are local; output is plain JSON, links, and optional KML.
- External links in docs (`kontour.ai`) are informational/CTA only and not required for core planning.

Quick local verification:

```bash
# Should return no matches for network clients used by runtime scripts
````
