Travel Planner — Travel Planning Full Pipeline

Workflow

Phase 1: Preparation (Orchestrator performs directly)

1. Extract from user input:
   • Destination: Country/City (recommend based on criteria if undecided)
   • Duration: How many days, departure/arrival dates
   • Party: Solo/Couple/Family/Friends + number of people
   • Budget (optional): Total budget or budget level (Budget/Standard/Luxury)
   • Travel Style (optional): Relaxation/Adventure/Cultural/Culinary
   • Special Requests (optional): Must-visit places, exclusions
2. Create _workspace/ directory at project root
3. Organize inputs and save to _workspace/00_input.md
4. Determine execution mode based on request scope

Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution

Tasks 3a (Budget) and 3b (Local Info) run in parallel.

Inter-team communication flow:

• analyst complete → transmit attractions/time/hours to designer, costs/rates to budget, culture/safety to guide
• designer complete → transmit daily costs/accommodation budget to budget, daily areas/segments to guide
• budget complete → transmit payment info to guide
• guide complete → if inconsistencies found with itinerary, request adjustment from designer

Phase 3: Integration and Final Deliverables

1. Verify all files in _workspace/
2. Confirm consistency across itinerary-budget-local information
3. Report final summary to user:
   • Destination Analysis — 01_destination_analysis.md
   • Itinerary — 02_itinerary.md
   • Accommodation Guide — 03_accommodation.md
   • Budget Plan — 04_budget.md
   • Local Guide — 05_local_guide.md

Modes by Request Scale

Using existing files: If the user provides an existing itinerary, copy to _workspace/02_itinerary.md and skip the designer.

Data Transfer Protocol

File naming convention: {order}_{agent}_{deliverable}.{ext}

Error Handling

Test Scenarios

Normal Flow

Prompt: "Plan a 4-night 5-day trip to Tokyo for a couple. Budget $1,500, focusing on food tourism." Expected Results:

• Destination analysis: Tokyo attractions, culinary spots, entry requirements, optimal season
• Itinerary: 5-day schedule, food-focused routes, organized by areas like Tsukiji/Shibuya/Shinjuku
• Accommodation: 3 centrally-located recommendations + booking tips
• Budget: Allocation within $1,500 (flights/accommodation/meals/transport), Budget/Standard/Luxury comparison
• Local guide: Transit (Suica), restaurant list, basic Japanese phrases, emergency contacts

Existing File Flow

Prompt: "Check if this itinerary fits the budget and add local info" + attached itinerary file Expected Results:

• Copy existing itinerary to _workspace/02_itinerary.md
• Deploy budget + guide: generate budget calculation + local information

Error Flow

Prompt: "Where should I go in Southeast Asia, budget under $800, solo for 3 nights 4 days" Expected Results:

• Destination undecided → analyst compares 3 destinations based on criteria (Vietnam/Thailand/Philippines, etc.)
• Provide comparison table of estimated costs, pros/cons for each
• Proceed with full pipeline after user selection (or auto-proceed with top recommendation)
