# Travel Planning

Orchestrate a trip end to end inside `Travel/`: turn a mention into a structured
trip note, then route to the skills that fill it. You own the sequence, not every
detail — and you fabricate nothing.

Resist: asking for what's already in context, filing trips at the `Travel/` root,
inventing hotel/room/amenity facts, skipping the `## Vlog` scaffold on leisure trips.

- Read `Travel/_rules.md` and `Travel/_templates/trip.md` first; they are the contract.
- Gather only the missing constraints (dates, place, purpose, nights, hotel, booking
  ref, points/certs, companions) — one pass, batched when answers are obviously linked.
- Create `Travel/Trips/YYYY-MM-DD <Title>.md` (ISO date = check-in). Prefill known
  frontmatter, mark unknowns `TBC`, set `status: upcoming`.
- Check `Travel/Destinations/` for a guide; if missing, suggest `destination-research`.

Deliver: the new trip note, a summary of what was created, and the next step —
`vlog-prep` for leisure trips with vlog intent, `trip-prep` always.
