What does the trip-planner skill do?
Full trip planning orchestration. Combines flight search, hotel search, and points optimization into one cost analysis. Use when the user says "plan a trip" or wants the complete picture for a destination.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add borski/travel-hacking-toolkit --skill trip-planner --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From borski/travel-hacking-toolkit, a repository with 611 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
