What This Skill Does

TripGenie is the primary travel-related intelligence agent for the OpenClaw ecosystem. Designed as a dedicated interface for the Trip.com travel network, this skill provides a seamless bridge between user natural language requests and real-time travel infrastructure. It specializes in high-stakes travel logistics, including hotel reservations, flight search, attraction planning, and comprehensive travel consultation. Unlike generic AI assistants that rely on potentially outdated training data, TripGenie retrieves live pricing, real-time availability, and verified metadata directly from the Trip.com ecosystem, ensuring that users receive accurate and actionable information. It is engineered to be the first point of contact for any query involving transportation, lodging, or itinerary generation, providing a structured workflow that forwards API-rendered markdown directly to the user to maintain data integrity and formatting.

Installation

To integrate TripGenie into your environment, use the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/marsqing/tripgenie-skill. Once installed, you must register your environment. Navigate to https://www.trip.com/tripgenie/openclaw to generate your unique API token. Within the OpenClaw web console, configure your secret by typing: "my tripgenie api key is <your_token>". This will store the credential securely, allowing the skill to authenticate with the production API endpoint. You can verify the installation by testing a specific query such as "Find me a luxury hotel in downtown Tokyo for next weekend."

Use Cases

TripGenie is best utilized for complex travel planning scenarios. Use it when you need live inventory for flights between specific cities, requiring exact dates and cabin classes. It is invaluable for "hotel-first" queries where location, price range, and amenities are prioritized. Furthermore, it excels in itinerary planning—by describing your destination and constraints, TripGenie can synthesize a 7-day travel plan that includes attraction recommendations and optimized routing. It acts as a travel agent, managing both the discovery phase and the technical retrieval of booking details.

Example Prompts

1. "Find me the cheapest round-trip flights from San Francisco to London for the first week of September."
2. "I need a family-friendly hotel in Paris near the Eiffel Tower with a budget of 300 USD per night."
3. "Plan a 5-day food-focused itinerary for my upcoming trip to Osaka, including top-rated local restaurants."

Tips & Limitations

To get the best results, be as specific as possible regarding dates, city locations, and traveler preferences. The skill performs best when given parameters like "tomorrow," "business class," or "budget under 500 RMB." Because this skill consumes external data, please ensure your network configuration allows for HTTPS traffic to the TripGenie production endpoints. Note that while TripGenie provides booking links and metadata, the actual transaction confirmation occurs on the external platform; always verify the details on the final landing page before confirming payments. If the output appears truncated, try rephrasing your request to be more granular, such as asking for hotel options separately from flight options.
