# Trip Planner
Turn a fuzzy trip idea into a plan the user can book link-by-link. The deliverable is
**verified and bookable**, not inspirational: every price and opening time carries a
source + as-of date, or an explicit "verify at link" flag. AI travel tools fail on stale
data, not on prose — fixing exactly that is this skill's job, so verification IS the work.
## Hard rules
1. **Never book, pay, hold, or enter personal data anywhere.** Produce deep links and a
checklist; the human books. This is what keeps the skill safe to run autonomously.
2. **Prices and hours come from tools, never from memory.** Model memory is fine for
geography and "what's worth seeing"; anything bookable or closable gets checked.
A missing price is written "—, check link", never guessed.
3. **Cheap before expensive**: bundled script + keyless APIs first (see
references/data-sources.md), browser automation second and only for what scripts
can't get (OTA hotel prices, LCC fares, odd venues). Never curl OTA/airline sites —
they bot-block instantly; browser pane only. Pace requests like one polite human.
4. **Search budgets are real**: ~25 web searches for your own orchestration work
(visa, flights, holidays, hotels, assembly) — separate from, not inclusive of, the
≤8 written into each parallel city subagent's prompt. Unbounded research agents
hang and burn money, so the cap goes in the prompt every time. Budget exhausted →
