trip-planner

trip-planner is a skill for Claude Code from borski/travel-hacking-toolkit. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,258 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A trip-planning skill that combines flight searches, hotel searches, and loyalty-points analysis into one travel plan. Loyalty points are rewards from airlines, hotels, or credit-card programs that can help pay for travel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a destination trip, compare cash and points costs, evaluate award flights, and account for stopovers, transfer bonuses, or status options when relevant.
Why use it?
It brings the main cost and points decisions together instead of treating flights, hotels, and rewards separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

trip-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Companion reference skills. Load these for deeper context:

  • flight-search-strategy — full search workflow and source priority
  • lessons-learned — Seats.aero workflow and common failure modes (load before any award search)
  • points-valuations — CPP rules, opportunity cost
  • partner-awards — reachability through alliance + bilateral partnerships
  • award-sweet-spots — flag legendary redemptions
  • booking-guidance — booking flow + phone numbers + the "hold before transfer" rule
  • transfer-bonuses — live current transfer bonuses (weekly refresh) before recommending any transfer
  • stopovers — per-program stopover rules; can turn a one-trip plan into a multi-city itinerary at no extra mileage cost
  • award-holds — per-program hold rules; affects transfer timing decisions
  • round-the-world — when the trip request implies 3+ stops or multiple regions, RTW products may be cheaper than separate awards
  • status-match — when a user mentions wanting status or asks about elite tier shortcuts; covers free direct matches, paid concierge fees, and once-per-lifetime warnings

Trip Planner

"Plan a trip to Paris Aug 11-15" answered with one complete cost breakdown.

Orchestrates compare-flights, compare-hotels, transfer-partners, and trip-calculator into a unified trip analysis. Shows total trip cost in cash vs every available points strategy.

This is an orchestration skill. It tells the agent which skills to invoke and how to combine their outputs.

When to Use

  • "Plan a trip to Paris Aug 11-15"
  • "What's the cheapest way to do SFO to Tokyo for a week in September?"
  • "How much would a trip to Stockholm cost in points vs cash?"
  • Any request that involves both flights AND accommodation

When NOT to Use

  • Flight-only comparison (use compare-flights)
  • Hotel-only comparison (use compare-hotels)
  • Award calendar (use award-calendar)
  • "Should I use points?" without a specific trip (use trip-calculator)
