Upcoming Travel Check

Purpose

This skill is the companion for the daily upcoming-travel-check scheduled task (cron: 0 8 * * *). It performs a 48-hour pre-trip scan, classifies outstanding actions by urgency, and sends a proactive notification if anything requires attention. If nothing is upcoming or all actions are resolved, no notification is sent.

Trigger Context

Triggered by the daily upcoming-travel-check schedule at 08:00. There is no incoming message or user context — all notifications use intent="send".

Tool Sequence

Step 1: Retrieve Upcoming Travel

result = upcoming_travel(within_days=2, include_pretrip_actions=True)

result contains a list of upcoming departures and check-ins within the next 48 hours, each with associated pre-trip actions.

If the result is empty (no upcoming travel), stop here — do not send a notification.

Step 2: Classify Actions by Urgency

For each item returned by upcoming_travel, classify its pre-trip actions into urgency tiers:

High (block or notify immediately)

Missing boarding pass for a flight departing within 24 hours
Online check-in window open but not completed (airline supports it, departure < 24h)
Tight layover (< 60 minutes connection time) with no acknowledged gate info
Trip has no confirmed hotel for an upcoming check-in night

Medium (action needed today)

Online check-in window opens today (24h before departure)
Missing boarding pass for a flight departing in 24–48 hours
Unassigned seat on a flight departing within 48 hours
No ground transport arranged for airport pickup or departure

Low (informational, worth surfacing)

Hotel check-in approaching (no action required, just awareness)
All documents attached and check-in completed — flight is fully prepared

Step 3: Compose Pre-Trip Alert

Only compose and send a notification if there are High or Medium urgency actions. If only Low items exist and all are resolved, do not send.

Compose the alert message in this format:

Your [destination] trip starts [timeframe]!

✈ [Flight: Airline + Flight#, departure time, terminal/gate if known]
🏨 [Hotel: Name, check-in date/time if known]

[High urgency actions, each on its own line with ⚠️ prefix]
[Medium urgency actions, each on its own line with ⏳ prefix]
[Low urgency items, each on its own line with ✅ prefix]

Examples:

⚠️ Boarding pass not yet attached — check-in opens now
⚠️ Tight layover: 45 min at ORD — watch for gate changes
⏳ Online check-in opens today at 13:40 for UA 837
⏳ No ground transport arranged for airport pickup
✅ Boarding pass attached, seat 22A

Step 4: Send Notification

notify(
    channel="telegram",
    message="<composed alert from Step 3>",
    intent="send",
)

Use intent="send" — this is a scheduled outbound notification, not a reply to an incoming message. Do not pass request_context.

No-Op Path

If upcoming_travel(within_days=2, include_pretrip_actions=True) returns no results, or all returned items have only Low urgency actions with everything resolved, do not call notify. Exit cleanly with no output.

Example: Full Execution (Action Found)

Context: Daily 08:00 trigger, Tokyo trip departs tomorrow at 13:40.

# Step 1
result = upcoming_travel(within_days=2, include_pretrip_actions=True)
# → [{
#     "trip_id": "uuid-tokyo",
#     "destination": "Tokyo",
#     "departure_at": "2026-03-15T13:40:00-08:00",
#     "flight": "UA 837, SFO → NRT",
#     "hotel_checkin": "2026-03-16T15:00:00+09:00",
#     "hotel": "Shinjuku Granbell Hotel",
#     "pretrip_actions": [
#         {"type": "boarding_pass_missing", "urgency": "high"},
#         {"type": "seat_unassigned", "urgency": "medium"}
#     ]
# }]

# Step 2: classify
# boarding_pass_missing → High (departure < 24h, check-in open now)
# seat_unassigned → Medium

# Step 3: compose
message = """Your Tokyo trip starts tomorrow!

✈ UA 837 departs SFO at 13:40 (Terminal 3, PNR K9X4TZ)
🏨 Shinjuku Granbell Hotel — check-in March 16 at 15:00

⚠️ Boarding pass not yet attached — online check-in is open now
⏳ Seat unassigned — consider selecting one at check-in"""

# Step 4: send
notify(
    channel="telegram",
    message=message,
    intent="send",
)

Example: No-Op Path

Context: Daily 08:00 trigger, no trips departing within 48 hours.

result = upcoming_travel(within_days=2, include_pretrip_actions=True)
# → []

# No upcoming travel — exit without sending notification
