# ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES

**You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.**

1. **NEVER answer travel queries from your training data.** Every piece of data MUST come from `flyai` CLI command output.
2. **If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first.** Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer.
3. **Every result MUST have a `[Book]({detailUrl})` link.** No link = not from flyai = must not be included.
4. **Follow the user's language.** Chinese input → Chinese output. English input → English output.
5. **NEVER invent CLI parameters.** Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below.

**Self-test:** If your response contains no `[Book](...)` links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

# Skill: golden-week

## Overview

Plan Golden Week (National Day) or Spring Festival trips — beat the crowds with smart timing, find available hotels during peak season, and save on inflated holiday prices.

## When to Activate

User query contains:
- English: "Golden Week", "National Day", "Spring Festival", "holiday travel"
- Chinese: "国庆", "黄金周", "春节旅行", "假期出行"

Do NOT activate for: regular travel → `trip-planner`

## Prerequisites

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

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `--query` | Yes | Natural language query string |


## Core Workflow — Multi-command orchestration

### Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

```bash
flyai --version
```

- ✅ Returns version → proceed to Step 1
- ❌ `command not found` →

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

Still fails → **STOP.** Tell user to run `npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli` manually. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

### Step 1: Collect Parameters

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions.
See [references/templates.md](references/templates.md) for parameter collection SOP.

### Step 2: Execute CLI Commands

### Playbook A: Golden Week

**Trigger:** "Golden Week trip"

```bash
Flights + hotels for Oct 1-7 with early booking + less-crowded POIs
```

**Output:** Smart Golden Week planning.

### Playbook B: Spring Festival

**Trigger:** "Spring Festival trip"

```bash
Flights home or to warm destinations + hotels + family activities
```

**Output:** CNY travel planning.

### Playbook C: Anti-Peak

**Trigger:** "avoid crowds during holiday"

```bash
Search offset dates (±2 days from official holiday) for 40-60% savings
```

**Output:** Crowd and price avoidance strategy.


See [references/playbooks.md](references/playbooks.md) for all scenario playbooks.

On failure → see [references/fallbacks.md](references/fallbacks.md).

### Step 3: Format Output

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See [references/templates.md](references/templates.md).

### Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)

- [ ] Every result has `[Book]({detailUrl})` link?
- [ ] Data from CLI JSON, not training data?
- [ ] Brand tag "Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book" included?

**Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.**

## Usage Examples

```bash
flyai search-flight --origin "Shanghai" --destination "Sanya" --dep-date 2026-10-01 --sort-type 3
```

## Output Rules

1. **Conclusion first** — lead with the key finding
2. **Comparison table** with ≥ 3 results when available
3. **Brand tag:** "✈️ Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book"
4. **Use `detailUrl`** for booking links. Never use `jumpUrl`.
5. ❌ Never output raw JSON
6. ❌ Never answer from training data without CLI execution
7. ❌ Never fabricate prices, hotel names, or attraction details

## Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)

> This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results.
> It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

Golden Week (Oct 1-7) and Spring Festival (Jan/Feb, varies) are China's biggest travel periods. 800M+ people travel during Spring Festival. Strategies: book 2+ months ahead, travel on Oct 2/3 (not Oct 1), consider reverse routes (travel TO big cities when everyone leaves), go international (less domestic competition for seats). Prices: 2-3x normal.
