fare-watch

fare-watch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mtnrabi/travel-agent-skills. It costs 299 tokens per session (2,556 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fare-monitoring skill that repeatedly checks the price of one flight or one named hotel using the same route, dates, and search settings, then compares the result with available price ranges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to watch fixed-date one-way or return flights, monitor a hotel rate, and receive alerts when the price changes meaningfully.
Why use it?
It avoids treating an old fare as current and helps show whether a fresh price is low, typical, or high.

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

fare-watch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Fare Watch

Overview

This skill turns a one-off flight search — or the rate for one named hotel on fixed dates — into a repeated check: run the identical search on a schedule, compare the live fare against Google's historical range for that route and period, and decide whether it is low, typical, or high. Use travel-data-api for auth, base URLs, and endpoint details. Prefer the hosted MCP tools when a client is configured. The fields this skill decides on are price_as_number (or total_price_as_number on round-trip), price_insights_low, price_insights_high, price_range_in_relation_to_other_periods, and buy_link.

Fares are never cached. Every check is a fresh, billed request. A price from an earlier check, an earlier message, or a stored history row is a record of the past, never an answer to "what does it cost now".

Endpoints

One-way fare on a fixed date POST /api/google_flights/oneway/v1 search_oneway_flights
Round-trip fare on fixed dates POST /api/google_flights/roundtrip/v1 search_roundtrip_flights

Flights host: google-flights-live-api.p.rapidapi.com. Hotels host: booking-live-api.p.rapidapi.com.

Workflow

  1. Pin the exact search. Record from_airport, to_airport, departure_date (and return_date), passengers, seat_type, currency, and the stop limit — max_stops on one-way, max_departure_stops / max_return_stops on round-trip. Every later check must repeat these values verbatim — a cheaper number produced by a different query is not a drop.
  2. Answer "is this a good price?" with one call. Read price_range_in_relation_to_other_periods (low | typical | high) and the price_insights_low / price_insights_high range off the cheapest item. This question needs no history.
  3. For "tell me when it drops", re-run the identical call on every scheduled check. Never reuse the previous response. Tell the user the per-check cost before the watch starts.
  4. Append one row per check to a history file (shape below), including checks that returned nothing.
  5. Compare against the history and apply the meaningful-drop test below. Alert on a meaningful drop; stay quiet on noise.
  6. Report with checked_at and the buy_link, and state that the fare can move before the user finishes booking.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
