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 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: multi-airline-compare

Overview

Multi Airline Compare.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "compare airlines", "multi airline flight", "best airline deal", "carrier comparison flight", "multi travel"
• Chinese: "多航司比价", "航空公司对比机票", "跨航司比价", "最佳航司选择", "出行预订"

Do NOT activate for: compare hotels → compare-hotels; cheap → economy-flights

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

• OK: Returns version -> proceed to Step 1
• FAIL: 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 Route

Trigger: "compare airlines", "多航司比价"

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

Playbook B: Cheapest Route

Trigger: "cheapest", "最便宜"

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

Playbook C: Fastest Route

Trigger: "fastest", "最快"

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 4

Playbook D: Direct Route

Trigger: "direct", "直飞"

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

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 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 "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-05-15 --sort-type 2

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best option
2. Compare tip — sort-type 3 (price) vs 4 (duration) reveals trade-offs
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

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.
