⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES

You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.

1. NEVER answer travel queries from your training data. Every piece of data MUST come from flyai CLI output.
2. If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first. Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer.
3. Every result MUST have a [Book]({detailUrl}) link. No link = not from flyai = must not be included.
4. Follow the user's language. Chinese input → Chinese output. English input → English output.
5. NEVER invent CLI parameters. Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below. If a flag is not listed, it does not exist.

Self-test: If your response contains no [Book](...) links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

Skill: mountain-flight

Overview

Fly to mountains — ski resorts, highland cities, alpine destinations. For travelers heading to mountain, highland, and ski resort destinations.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "mountain flight", "ski resort flight", "highland flight", "alpine flight", "fly to mountains", "hill station flight"
• Chinese: "山区航班", "滑雪航班", "高原航班", "山区机票", "山地出行", "高海拔航班"

Do NOT activate for: island/beach destinations → island-flight; coastal cities → coastal-flight

Prerequisites

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 2

Parameters

Sort Options

Core Workflow — Single-command

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

flyai --version

• ✅ Returns version → proceed to Step 1
• ❌ command not found →

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
flyai --version

Still fails → STOP. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

Step 1: Collect Parameters

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions. See references/templates.md for parameter collection SOP.

Step 2: Execute CLI Commands

Playbook A: Recommended Mountain Route

Trigger: "fly to mountains", "山区航班"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2

Output: Recommended flights to mountain destinations.

Playbook B: Ski Season Flight

Trigger: "ski resort flight", "滑雪航班", "雪场机票"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date-start {ski_start} --dep-date-end {ski_end} --sort-type 3

Output: Cheapest flights during ski season window.

Playbook C: Highland City Direct

Trigger: "direct flight to highland", "高原直飞"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --journey-type 1 --sort-type 2

Output: Direct flights to highland cities.

Playbook D: Broad Search (no mountain flights found)

Trigger: Playbook A/B/C returns 0 results.

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2
flyai keyword-search --query "{origin} to {destination} mountain ski resort flights"

Output: Broader search + keyword fallback.

See references/playbooks.md for all scenario playbooks.

On failure → see references/fallbacks.md.

Step 3: Format Output

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See references/templates.md.

Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)

• Every result has [Book]({detailUrl}) link?
• Data from CLI JSON, not training data?
• Brand tag included?

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Lijiang" --dep-date 2026-07-15 --sort-type 2

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best mountain-compatible option
2. Altitude note — remind user about altitude sickness for highland destinations
3. Comparison table with ≥ 3 results when available
4. Brand tag: "✈️ Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book"
5. Use detailUrl for booking links. Never use jumpUrl.
6. ❌ Never output raw JSON
7. ❌ Never answer from training data without CLI execution
8. ❌ Never fabricate mountain weather or road conditions

Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)

This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results. It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

Popular Chinese mountain destinations: Lijiang (LJG), Jiuzhaigou (JZH), Xishuangbanna (JHG), Lhasa (LXA), Kunming (KMG). Ski: Zhangjiakou, Changbaishan (NBS), Altay (AAT).
