wtf is travel-planner?

This project is a Claude Code skill, meaning it is an add-on that teaches the Claude Code assistant a new specific job: turning a vague travel idea like wanting to visit a certain city for a few days into a full day by day itinerary you can actually follow. Instead of guessing what you want, it works by asking you a short series of questions and confirming each part before moving on, so the final plan matches your actual preferences rather than a generic template. The questions cover six things: where you are going and where you are starting from, how many days and what season, who you are traveling with, your budget level, how relaxed or packed you want the pace to be, and your interests. After gathering that, the skill builds a day by day framework with a one line theme for each day and suggested lodging, then fills in the details for each day: time blocks for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening, with each activity's time slot, how long to spend there, and its cost, plus meals and transportation. It also calculates a daily budget subtotal and rolls everything into an overall estimated cost range, and generates a packing list and pre trip checklist suited to the season and planned activities. The README notes the skill is honest about details that change often, such as ticket prices, opening hours, or reservation requirements, marking them as things to double check before the trip rather than making up exact numbers. To use it, you clone the repository into your personal Claude Code skills folder, then simply ask Claude Code in natural language to plan a trip, for example a multi day trip to a specific city, and the skill takes over the conversation. The final output is a markdown file built from a template that includes the itinerary overview, daily schedule, total budget, packing list, and pre trip checklist.
