A Claude Code Skill for deep travel research. Dimensions grow from the city itself — not a fixed template forced onto every destination.
Input a city name, and Claude will:
- Profile the city — identify its unique character from 11 possible research dimensions
- Launch 12 parallel agents — deep-dive the selected dimensions with bilingual (CN/EN) web research
- Generate an org-mode knowledge document — structured, source-backed, written as personal notes (not tourist copy)
- Cast two portable cards (PNG) — a city overview infograph + a route reference card for your phone
Not every city is an ancient capital. The skill dynamically selects 4–6 dimensions that fit:
| Dimension | Example Cities |
|---|---|
| Historical Layers | Xi'an, Luoyang, Nanjing |
| Museums | Xi'an, Sanxingdui |
| Ancient Architecture | Datong, Pingyao, Quanzhou |
| Archaeology | Anyang, Liangzhu |
| Religion & Belief | Lhasa, Wutaishan, Dunhuang |
| Food Culture | Chengdu, Chaoshan, Changsha |
| Maritime & Coastal | Weihai, Xiamen, Zhoushan |
| Natural Geography | Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou |
| Ethnic & Folk Culture | Lijiang, Dali, Xishuangbanna |
| Modern & Contemporary | Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing |
| Modern History | Weihai, Lushun, Yan'an |
Practical Info (transport, accommodation, tickets, seasonal tips) is always included — research without logistics is useless.

| City | Dimensions Selected | Key Findings |
|---|---|---|
| Weihai (威海) | History, Museums, Architecture, Archaeology, Humanities, Deep Content | Sino-Japanese War underwater archaeology (4000+ artifacts), Quanzhen Daoism birthplace |
| Xiamen (厦门) | Minnan Culture, Architecture, Food, Maritime, Religion, Contemporary | Amoy Deco style origin, satay sauce Nanyang adaptation, gongfu tea 11-step ceremony |
Every city carries its own way of being understood. Xi'an demands an archaeological lens. Chengdu demands a culinary one. Lhasa demands a spiritual one. The skill's job is to detect which lens fits, not to impose a universal framework.
Inspired by ljg-travel by @lijigang. The original skill introduced the DBA (Desk-Based Assessment) methodology for cultural travel research. This version extends it with dynamic dimension selection, food/logistics coverage, and adaptive document structure.
