name: trip-guide-pdf-lodging description: Research, plan, revise, and deliver lodging-anchored travel guides as HTML/PDF with verified route data, hotel selection, fallback hotel swaps, curated screenshots, and formal copy. Use when a trip includes hotels, inns, guesthouses, resorts, multi-night stays, or when the user asks to make or revise an itinerary after a hotel changes, sells out, or becomes too expensive.

Trip Guide PDF Lodging

Build the guide in HTML first. Export PDF only after route logic, lodging choice, and screenshots are stable.

Treat the hotel or lodging as the nightly anchor. Design each day around where the user sleeps, not around scenic spots alone.

Core rules

1. Verify every hard number before writing it. 2. Separate hard data from soft signal. - Hard data: driving time, distance, tolls, hotel address, phone, opening hours, scenic latest entry. - Soft signal: renovation quality, noise risk, dining feel, queue risk, convenience impressions. 3. If lodging changes, recompute all dependent legs instead of text-replacing the hotel name. 4. Keep screenshots sparse and purposeful. 5. Use formal, compact copy unless the user explicitly wants casual tone.

Workflow

1) Lock the planning frame

Extract:

dates / trip length

departure city

trip style: self-drive, hiking, family, solo, etc.

preference weights: scenery, comfort, food, crowd avoidance, budget

output target: quick answer or polished HTML/PDF

If the user already gave enough constraints, start researching immediately.

2) Choose the lodging strategy first

Before writing the day plan, determine:

single hotel vs multi-hotel

town-center convenience vs scenic proximity

parking requirement

breakfast requirement if it changes departure time

fallback lodging in case of sellout or price spike

The day plan should follow the lodging choice, not the other way around.

3) Choose sources by job

Read references/source-selection.md when deciding what to trust.

Default split:

maps / official scenic pages / structured listings for hard numbers

review sites and social posts for soft signal

if Chinese travel/review sites are involved and normal search/fetch is weak, use cn-review-sites-cdp

4) Verify hard data before drafting

Check the numbers that decide feasibility:

origin → lodging

lodging → main scenic spot

lodging → secondary scenic spot

lodging → dinner / breakfast anchors when they matter in the final guide

scenic opening hours / latest entry

hotel phone / rating / address if shown

Re-run this step after every lodging change.

5) Design the itinerary from the lodging anchor

For each day, choose the nightly lodging first, then build:

arrival window

check-in / rest buffer

meal window

scenic entry window

return buffer

holiday congestion buffer

If the hotel moves from old town to new town, update the walking radius and dinner logic. Do not assume Day 1 still works unchanged.

6) Draft HTML first

Good structure:

cover / conclusion box

route overview

day-by-day plan

lodging section

dining section

risk notes / contingency

The top conclusion should tell the user:

which lodging won

why it won

what fallback exists

what tradeoff changed after the lodging decision

7) Use screenshots as evidence, not decoration

Keep only screenshots that support a decision:

scenic proof image

hotel listing / hotel note if it materially affects the recommendation

restaurant listing snippet if it justifies a recommendation

Reject screenshots that are blank, QR-heavy, cluttered, or mostly irrelevant UI.

8) Run the QA gate before PDF export

Read references/qa-checklist.md and clear it.

Minimum gate:

route numbers consistent with latest lodging choice

time logic feasible

screenshots clean

tone formal enough

filenames and variant names clear

9) Deliver and version clearly

Prefer scenario-specific filenames over destructive overwrites.

Examples:

*_final.html

*_revision.html

*_hotel-swap.html

*_quanji.html

When sending local files through OpenClaw messaging, prefer relative MEDIA:./... paths instead of absolute MEDIA:/abs/path paths.

Revision logic

Visual-only feedback: rework screenshots, typography, and tone.

Hotel change: recompute every dependent leg and rewrite the daily structure affected by that hotel.

Budget pressure: rerank hotels and surface tradeoffs explicitly.

Feasibility issue: re-verify with maps / official sources and rebuild affected days.
