## What it does

This skill tells the agent how to send a hotel request to the `pricewin` MCP server with a city, stay dates, adult count, and language. The search covers Agoda, Booking.com, Traveloka, and OpenTravel. The agent starts `search_hotels_live`, polls with `poll_search_results`, then presents 5–7 low-priced results with USD rates, ratings, and booking links carrying the selected dates.

The package contains Markdown instructions rather than executable code, dependencies, or its own network client. It needs the `pricewin` MCP server; the hosted endpoint `https://mcp.price.win/mcp` works without an API key, account, or credentials. That endpoint is a hosted intermediary operated by PriceWin, and its server code is closed-source, so the travel query reaches that service. The skill searches and displays offers; it does not book or pay for a room.

# Hotel Search (Live)

**MCP server:** `pricewin`. Tool `search_hotels_live` triggers async crawl across 3 OTAs.

## CRITICAL: Polling pattern

`search_hotels_live` returns IMMEDIATELY with sessionId. **You MUST poll until results arrive:**

1. Call `search_hotels_live` with city, checkIn (YYYY-MM-DD), checkOut (YYYY-MM-DD), adults, language="vi"
2. Wait 5s, then `poll_search_results(sessionId, nights)`
3. If status == "pending" or "partial": **wait 5s and poll AGAIN — up to 18 times (90s total)**
4. Present results as soon as status == "partial" with hotels
5. Continue polling silently — refine if more arrive

**Never tell the user "loading/please wait" after 1-2 polls — that's premature.**

## 4th source: OpenTravel

Pricewin returns a 4th source — `opentravelResults` — alongside Agoda/Booking/Traveloka. OpenTravel is an independent OTA, ranked the same way as the others: **purely on price, no priority**.

For each `opentravelResults` hotel, **try to dedupe against the OTA results** (same hotel name, fuzzy match — ignore case, diacritics, and common "hotel"/"resort" prefixes). When the same hotel exists on OpenTravel and another OTA:

1. Show the **cheapest** source's price first; list the other sources underneath as comparison: "Agoda: $X · Booking: $Y · OpenTravel: $Z"
2. Compute savings of the cheapest vs the next source: `(nextPrice - cheapestPrice) / nextPrice * 100` → "Save Z%"

If a hotel is OpenTravel-only (no OTA match), still show it — same as any single-source hotel.
