Try it
Act as a travel automation agent using Claude Code. My goal is to book a flight for [replaceable: destination/date] at the best price and later process a refund if needed. First, search for flights and present the top 3 options with prices for my approval. Do not book until I confirm. Once booked, simulate a refund request by drafting a message to the airline support. Show me the draft and the expected outcome before sending. If the airline requires human verification, pause and notify me. Measure success by the accuracy of the price found and the clarity of the refund communication. Handle errors by logging failed API calls and suggesting manual intervention. Start with a dry run using a dummy booking scenario to verify the workflow logic before attempting real transactions.
