Overview

This skill bundles several practical, daily-life utilities for travel, accommodation, and social content lookup. It provides unified access to China Railway train tickets, flight status, Airbnb listings, and Rednote (Little Red Book) content. The tools are designed to quickly fetch schedules, availability, and search results from each service.

How this skill works

Each tool queries a specific external service: the 12306 connector looks up train schedules, station codes, and ticket availability; the Variflight connector returns flight status, delays, and timing (requires an API key in X_VARIFLIGHT_KEY); the Airbnb connector searches rental listings and filters results; the Rednote connector retrieves posts and search results from the Little Red Book platform. The skill exposes simple commands to run these queries and returns structured results for further use.

When to use it

• Checking China Railway train schedules, station codes, or ticket availability before travel.
• Monitoring flight status and delays when you have the Variflight API key.
• Searching Airbnb for accommodation options and filtering by price, location, or amenities.
• Finding social posts, product reviews, or lifestyle content on Rednote (Little Red Book).
• Automating travel planning workflows that combine trains, flights, and stays.

Best practices

• Provide precise station names or codes for more accurate 12306 results.
• Set X_VARIFLIGHT_KEY as an environment variable before using flight queries.
• Use location, date range, and amenity filters when searching Airbnb to reduce noise.
• Respect rate limits and terms of service of each external provider when making repeated queries.
• Sanitize and validate user input for searches to avoid ambiguous or broad queries.

Example use cases

• Look up high-speed train options and departure times between two Chinese cities for a specific date.
• Check a flight’s current status and estimated delay using the Variflight connector.
• Search Airbnb listings in a city for a weekend stay with a two-bedroom filter and budget cap.
• Retrieve recent Rednote posts tagged with a product name to gather user opinions and photos.
• Combine train, flight, and accommodation lookups to prepare a multi-leg travel plan.
