The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Plan our weekend trip and get everything ready to book: stay, car, reservations and itinerary.

Check with me first: What do I want this trip to feel like, and when is it?

What I'll give you:
- My rough ideas for the trip (rambling is fine)
- Dates and who's going
- Any conversation with my travel partner about it

Rules:
- Propose a few itinerary options first and wait for my feedback.
- Stage the bookings (stay, rental car, gear, dinner reservations), but don't pay.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- Stop when everything is ready and let me book.

Output: Itinerary options, a list of staged bookings with links, and a shareable trip page once I've booked.

You'll know it worked when: everything is lined up and booking takes me minutes.

Later I may also ask you to: create a shareable page for the trip.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Plan our weekend trip and get stay, car, reservations and itinerary ready to book.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Rough ideas for the trip
- Dates and who's going
- Partner's preferences
- Budget
- Car type and driving limits

Rules:
- Turn my rambling notes into 3–4 trip goals and confirm them.
- Shortlist stays and cars with total costs and links.
- Suggest reservations that fit the goals and timing.
- Build an itinerary with travel times.
- Keep drives between stops under [HOURS] hours.
- Show total trip cost broken down.
- Stop before paying for anything; give me the booking links in order.
- Check the car can be collected and returned at times that fit the plan.

Checkpoint: Stop before any payment or booking confirmation.

If you get stuck: If logins are needed, ask. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Check dates and party size on each booking page.

Output: Plan document and booking links ready.

Done when: I can book everything in a few clicks.
