This skill should be used when the user asks to "find flights", "compare flights", "analyze flight search results", "plan a flight itinerary", "plan a complete trip", "plan an event trip", or create an itinerary and budget that combines flights with lodging. It turns supplied or live Apify travel results into a defensible recommendation while preserving unresolved fare scope. Do not use it for hotel-only or lodging-only requests. It prices and advises but never books.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by apify on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Apify Plan Travel AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/apify/awesome-skills/tree/main/skills/apify-plan-travel
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/apify/awesome-skills.git /tmp/awesome-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-skills/skills/apify-plan-travel .claude/skills/apify-plan-travel
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Apify Plan Travel in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Apify Plan Travel on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Apify Plan Travel is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Plan flights or a complete trip with Apify

Turn travel data into a decision rather than a list of results. Preserve the requested scope, distinguish sourced prices from estimates, and keep unresolved price or itinerary coverage explicit.

Disclosure: The skill author also maintains the two paid Apify Actors used here.

Route the request

  • Flights only: read references/flights.md. This includes flight-only round-trip, multi-city, and open-jaw requests. Do not load the hotel or whole-trip references merely because the flight has several segments.
  • Whole trip: when the requested output combines flights with lodging, an event plan, overnight bases, or a full trip budget, read references/whole-trip.md, then references/flights.md and references/hotels.md.
  • Hotel or lodging only: do not use this skill. Use the selected Actor's current documentation or a dedicated lodging skill.
  • Supplied results: analyze usable supplied Actor output without rerunning the Actor unless fresher data is requested or required.

Data sources and prerequisites

For live flight searches, use Google Flights Data Scraper. For lodging within a whole-trip plan, use Google Hotels Search Scraper. Access them through Apify MCP or another available Apify interface.

Before a live call, inspect the Actor's current README, input schema, pricing, and returned payload. Estimate the intended run before starting paid work. Keep optional billable features off unless the user needs them. Treat the Actor documentation as the source for current inputs and operation; use this skill for the judgment that the documentation does not provide.

Shared decision rules

  1. Use only prices whose currency, itinerary or stay coverage, and price basis are known. Keep incompatible or ambiguous amounts separate.
  2. Do not turn missing data into zero or infer a favorable interpretation from plausibility.
  3. Rank against the user's priorities. When priorities are unstated, expose the main trade-offs instead of inventing a universal score.
  4. Keep ground transport, fuel, parking, meals, taxes, fees, and tickets outside the sourced subtotal unless a cited source priced them for this plan.
  5. Do not infer award availability, points prices, program benefits, or alliance and brand membership from cash results. Verify current membership from a primary source when it affects the recommendation.
  6. Never book or imply that an option is held. Warn that prices, schedules, and availability must be verified before booking.

Deliverable

Lead with the recommended flight or trip shape and the evidence behind it. Follow with compact alternatives, meaningful trade-offs, evidence locators or returned booking URLs, price-basis caveats, and a verify-before-booking warning. For a whole trip, include a day-by-day outline, a sourced flight-and-lodging subtotal, and separately labelled estimates or unknowns.

Example requests

Supported:

  • "Compare these supplied flight-search results for Prague to Tokyo and explain the cheapest and best-convenience options."
  • "Plan an event trip from Boston to Austin with flights, overnight bases, a day-by-day itinerary, and a clearly sourced budget."

Boundary:

  • "Find me a hotel in Vienna for Friday night." This is lodging-only, so do not activate this skill.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Apify Plan Travel AI skill do?

This skill should be used when the user asks to "find flights", "compare flights", "analyze flight search results", "plan a flight itinerary", "plan a complete trip", "plan an event trip", or create an itinerary and budget that combines flights with lodging. It turns supplied or live Apify travel results into a defensible recommendation while preserving unresolved fare scope. Do not use it for hotel-only or lodging-only requests. It prices and advises but never books.

Why use Apify Plan Travel on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Apify Plan Travel is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Apify Plan Travel in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/apify/awesome-skills/tree/main/skills/apify-plan-travel. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Apify Plan Travel?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Apify Plan Travel?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Apify Plan Travel with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Apify Plan Travel AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by apify under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
