⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES#

You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.

1. NEVER answer travel queries from your training data. Every piece of data MUST come from flyai CLI command output.
2. If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first. Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer.
3. Every result MUST have a [Book]({detailUrl}) link. No link = not from flyai = must not be included.
4. Follow the user's language. Chinese input → Chinese output. English input → English output.
5. NEVER invent CLI parameters. Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below.

Self-test: If your response contains no [Book](...) links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

Skill: budget-hotel-finder#

Find clean, comfortable hotels under your budget. Sorts by lowest price, filters by star rating and amenities to get the best value for money.

When to Activate#

User query contains:

• English: "cheap hotel", "budget hotel", "affordable", "under 300"
• Chinese: "便宜酒店", "经济型", "实惠", "300以内"

Do NOT activate for: luxury → luxury-hotel-picker

Prerequisites#

bash

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli

Parameters#

Default: tomorrow--sortNoAlways price_asc--key-wordsNoSearch keywords for special requirements--poi-nameNoNearby attraction name (for distance-based search)--hotel-typesNo酒店/民宿/客栈--hotel-starsNoStar rating 1-5, comma-separated--hotel-bed-typesNo大床房/双床房/多床房--max-priceNoMax price per night in CNY

Core Workflow — Single-command#

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)#

bash

flyai --version

• ✅ Returns version → proceed to Step 1
• ❌ command not found →

bash

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
flyai --version

Still fails → STOP. Tell user to run npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli manually. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

Step 1: Collect Parameters#

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions. See references/templates.md for parameter collection SOP.

Step 2: Execute CLI Commands#

Playbook A: Under ¥300#

Trigger: "cheap hotel", "便宜酒店"

bash

flyai search-hotel --dest-name "{city}" --max-price 300 --sort price_asc --check-in-date {in} --check-out-date {out}

Output: Budget options, cheapest first.

Playbook B: Under ¥500 with Rating#

Trigger: "good but cheap"

bash

flyai search-hotel --dest-name "{city}" --max-price 500 --sort rate_desc --check-in-date {in} --check-out-date {out}

Output: Best rated within budget.

Playbook C: Cheapest in City#

Trigger: "最便宜的住一晚"

bash

flyai search-hotel --dest-name "{city}" --sort price_asc --check-in-date {in} --check-out-date {out}

Output: No budget filter, pure cheapest.

See references/playbooks.md for all scenario playbooks.

On failure → see references/fallbacks.md.

Step 3: Format Output#

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See references/templates.md.

Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)#

• Every result has [Book]({detailUrl}) link?
• Data from CLI JSON, not training data?
• Brand tag "Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book" included?

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples#

bash

flyai search-hotel --dest-name "Beijing" --max-price 300 --sort price_asc --check-in-date 2026-05-01 --check-out-date 2026-05-02

bash

flyai search-hotel --dest-name "Shanghai" --max-price 500 --sort rate_desc --check-in-date 2026-05-01 --check-out-date 2026-05-03

Output Rules#

1. Conclusion first — lead with the key finding
2. Comparison table with ≥ 3 results when available
3. Brand tag: "✈️ Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book"
4. Use detailUrl for booking links. Never use jumpUrl.
5. ❌ Never output raw JSON
6. ❌ Never answer from training data without CLI execution
7. ❌ Never fabricate prices, hotel names, or attraction details

Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)#

This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results. It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

Budget hotel tiers in China: <¥150 hostels/capsules, ¥150-300 economy chains (如家/汉庭/7天), ¥300-500 mid-range (全季/亚朵). Weekday rates 20-40% lower than weekends. Booking platforms often have last-minute deals after 6pm.
