What This Skill Does

The SRT skill provides a robust command-line interface for interacting with the Korean Super Rapid Train (SRT) booking system. It enables users to search for train schedules, reserve specific seats, manage existing bookings, and monitor for ticket availability. By integrating with OpenClaw, this skill automates the otherwise tedious manual process of checking the SRT website. It supports complex operations such as persistent background monitoring for sold-out trains, which helps users secure hard-to-get tickets automatically.

Installation

To install this skill, use the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/khj809/srt

Ensure you have configured your environment variables SRT_PHONE and SRT_PASSWORD correctly, as these are required for authentication. For optimal performance and security, you may also configure SRT_DATA_DIR to manage where the agent stores logs and cache files.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for frequent commuters or travelers who need to book trains between major Korean cities like Seoul (Suseo), Busan, and Daegu. It is particularly useful for:

• Rapidly booking tickets when schedules are released.
• Securing "cancelled" tickets for popular travel times (e.g., holidays or weekends) using the continuous retry function.
• Managing multiple reservations at once by viewing or cancelling them through simple automated commands.

Example Prompts

1. "Find me a train from Suseo to Busan on February 27th, 2026, around 8:00 PM."
2. "Reserve the first available train from the last search result for me."
3. "Start monitoring for a seat on the train I just searched for and alert me if a cancellation is found."

Tips & Limitations

• Station names must be provided in Korean for accurate searching (e.g., '수서', '부산').
• The reservation flow requires a search to be performed first to cache the necessary session data.
• When monitoring for tickets, ensure you use the reserve retry command rather than writing your own loop to avoid performance issues or account lockout.
• Be aware that your SRT_DATA_DIR and log files are subject to path safety validation to prevent unauthorized system access. Always verify your logs if a search or reservation fails to see the specific error code returned by the SRT service.
