Skill1 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
This skill should be used whenever the user wants flights — phrases like "find flights", "cheapest way to fly", "how do I get to", "flight prices", "flights from X to Y", "when is it cheapest to fly", or when a trip plan reaches the flight-search stage. Also use it for route questions ("does Ryanair fly to…", "can I fly direct from…") and flexible-date searches.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Find Flights
Search live flight options via the Kiwi.com, Ryanair, Expedia and Otto Travel connectors and present a clear comparison the traveller can decide from.
Connector strategy
- Kiwi.com is the general search engine: use it for any route worldwide, multi-airline options, and virtual interlining. Default here.
- Expedia — second broad-coverage search; run alongside Kiwi.com and merge, keeping whichever source is cheaper per option.
- Ryanair is best for intra-European budget routes: use its cheapest-per-day and cheapest one-way/round-trip tools when the route is in Ryanair's network or the traveller is price-first. Its route tools also answer "where can I fly from X?" questions.
- Otto Travel — a further live-inventory search source, plus stored travel preferences and loyalty programme numbers to apply to the search. Read its skill guide before first use. Search only: never place a booking through it.
- Turkish Airlines — brand-direct search when the traveller favours Turkish Airlines or holds Miles&Smiles status, and useful for routes connecting through Istanbul.
- Run the relevant searches in parallel and merge results, noting the source of each option.
If neither connector is available, ask the user to enable them, then fall back to web search with a clear "indicative prices only" caveat.
Inputs
Pull origin, destination, dates, party size and cabin preferences from
trip-brief.md and the traveller profile before asking anything. For rough
dates ("early September"), search a date window and use cheapest-per-day
results to recommend the best-value days.
Presenting results
Show a comparison table of the 3–6 strongest options:
| Option | Airline(s) | Depart → Arrive | Stops | Duration | Bags | Price (pp) | Total |
Then give one plain-sentence recommendation and why (e.g. best balance of price, timing and total journey time). Flag red-eye departures, tight connections (<75 min), distant secondary airports (name the actual city distance) and fare types that exclude cabin bags.
After the choice
- Save the comparison table to
options/flights-<date>.md— it feeds the end-of-trip savings summary (expense-reportskill). - Record the chosen flight (airline, times, price, booking link) in
trip-brief.mdand log the cost inbudget.md(trip-budgetskill). - Anchor the itinerary: day 1 starts after landing, the last day ends before the departure airport cut-off.
- Link to the provider to complete the booking. Travel Concierge is
search-only by design: it never places bookings or takes payment in-chat,
and never claims anything is booked until the traveller says so — then
record the confirmed details in
trip-brief.md.
Care points
- Always state prices with currency and whether they are per person or total.
- Quote the fare rules the connector returns; never invent baggage allowances.
- Prices move: note that quotes were live at search time.
- Business trips: weight schedule reliability, direct routings and
arrival buffers (evening before a morning meeting) over lowest price;
respect any company policy in
trip-brief.mdand surface the loyalty programmes stored in the traveller profile or Otto Travel so the traveller applies them when booking on the provider's site.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
