camino-journey_skill

Overview

This skill plans multi-waypoint journeys with route optimization, feasibility analysis, and time budget constraints. It helps validate itineraries, estimate travel time and distance, and propose route adjustments for efficiency. Use it when you need reliable, multi-stop route planning across walking, biking, or driving modes.

How this skill works

You provide a list of waypoints (latitude, longitude, optional purpose) and optional constraints such as transport mode and a time budget. The skill computes an optimized route, breaks the trip into route segments with distances and durations, and returns feasibility (meets time budget) plus actionable optimization suggestions. Responses include total distance, total time, per-segment metrics, and a short analysis summarizing feasibility and improvement opportunities.

When to use it

• Validating whether a planned itinerary fits a time budget
• Optimizing sequence of multiple stops for shortest time or distance
• Estimating total travel time and distance for multi-stop trips
• Planning walking tours, cycling routes, or driving schedules
• Checking feasibility of back-to-back meetings or deliveries

Best practices

• Provide clear waypoint purposes to get more meaningful segment labels
• Include a realistic time_budget in minutes or hours for feasibility checks
• Specify transport mode (walking, bike, car) to get mode-appropriate durations
• Limit very large waypoint sets per request to keep optimization fast
• Review the analysis field for suggested changes before committing to an itinerary

Example use cases

• Day-trip planning with multiple attractions and a 6-hour walking limit
• Business meeting loop to visit clients and return to office within 2 hours by car
• Cycling tour that connects scenic points with bike-appropriate routing
• Delivery or errand sequence optimization to minimize travel time
• Quick feasibility check for a same-day multi-stop plan
