Shortlist real flight and lodging options for a business trip
Tools: Claude Code skill, Claude for Chrome
Setup, access, approval gate, failure notes
- Setup / prompt
- A custom 'travel agent' skill that sorts flights and housing against trip criteria, rerun with a real browser attached.
- Access required
- Browser extension reading public booking sites; no payment access
- HITL checkpoint
- "Act without asking" turned off; agent hands back links; human books and pays
- Outcome & failure notes
- Without a browser the skill returned plausible-sounding price ranges (guesses) because booking sites render prices with JavaScript. With Claude for Chrome it returned three specific options with live prices and links. Slower than doing it by hand and burns usage limits faster.
- Evidence type
- Practitioner first-hand
