Decide between points and cash for every trip
According to the write-up, the toolkit installs into Claude Code as a plugin with skills, MCP servers and a travel-hacker subagent. Given a request, it searches cash sources (Duffel, Ignav, Google Flights, Skiplagged, Kiwi) and Seats.aero for awards. The source describes the workflow and what is included, not measured results.

Why it matters
Trips involve lots of searching, forms and waiting on hold. This is an example of an agent handling that busywork so the traveller only has to approve the result. It is one of 63 sightings filed under Travel & Booking on Agent Sightings (number 60 by interest), and one of 164 involving Claude Code.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Plan: decide between points and cash for every trip. Compare 2–3 options (cost, timing, tradeoffs), recommend one, and do not book or pay yet.
Tip: Have the agent list options with prices and cancellation rules, and only book once you have said yes to one.
