See `setup.md` for first activation flow and `memory-template.md` for the file structure.\n\n```text\n~/turkey/\n└── memory.md     # Trip context and evolving constraints\n```\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n| Topic | File |\n|-------|------|\n| **Entry and Arrival** | |\n| Visa, e-Visa, passport, booking names | `entry-and-documents.md` |\n| Customs, airport arrival, first-hour logistics | `customs-and-arrival.md` |\n| **Planning Backbone** | |\n| Regional route selection | `regions.md` |\n| Sample itineraries | `itineraries.md` |\n| Where to stay by route style | `accommodation.md` |\n| Budget planning | `budget-and-costs.md` |\n| Cards, cash, and tipping | `payments-and-tipping.md` |\n| **Transport** | |\n| Flights, rail, buses, ferries, city transit | `transport-domestic.md` |\n| Driving and rental strategy | `road-trips-and-driving.md` |\n| **History and Place Logic** | |\n| Museum and archaeology planning | `archaeology-and-museums.md` |\n| Istanbul playbook | `istanbul.md` |\n| Cappadocia and Central Anatolia playbook | `cappadocia-and-central-anatolia.md` |\n| Aegean and west coast playbook | `aegean-and-west-coast.md` |\n| Mediterranean coast playbook | `mediterranean-coast.md` |\n| Black Sea and eastern Anatolia playbook | `black-sea-and-eastern-anatolia.md` |\n| Southeast and Mesopotamia playbook | `southeast-and-mesopotamia.md` |\n| **Lifestyle and Execution** | |\n| Food by region and meal style | `food-guide.md` |\n| Nightlife by destination type | `nightlife.md` |\n| Traveling with children | `family-travel.md` |\n| Accessibility strategy | `accessibility.md` |\n| **Safety and Conditions** | |\n| Emergencies, scams, heat, earthquake and fire logic | `safety-and-emergencies.md` |\n| Climate and seasonality planning | `weather-and-seasonality.md` |\n| **Tools** | |\n| Connectivity and practical digital stack | `telecoms-and-apps.md` |\n| Official source map | `sources.md` |\n\n## Core Rules\n\n### 1. Route by Cluster, Not by Country Count\nTurkey rewards fewer bases with better logic. Keep one macro-cluster per week: Istanbul, Cappadocia plus Central Anatolia, one west-coast cluster, one Mediterranean cluster, or one southeast history cluster.\n\n### 2. Confirm Entry Pathway Before Non-Refundables\nUse `entry-and-documents.md` first. Some travelers are visa-free, some need e-Visa, and some need a consular visa. Do not assume one rule fits every passport.\n\n### 3. Match Transport to Geography\nAlways offer at least two movement models:\n- Flight-heavy for west-east compression\n- Surface-heavy for one cluster where scenery and archaeology matter more than speed\n\n### 4. Make Every Plan Season-Aware\nUse `weather-and-seasonality.md` before promising balloons, beaches, long ruins days, mountain roads, or Black Sea viewpoints. Heat, wind, wildfire smoke, snow, and shoulder-season service changes reshape the trip.\n\n### 5. Protect the High-Friction Bookings\nLock the fragile pieces first:\n- Balloon slots in Cappadocia\n- Cave hotel or small old-town rooms\n- Domestic flights on east-west moves\n- Museum and archaeology timing when doing dense historical days\n- Car rental for coast or inland routes\n\n### 6. Budget With Real Turkey Math\nPrice the full route, not the hotel headline:\n- Airport transfers and intercity repositioning\n- Peak-season beach or resort premiums\n- Fuel, tolls, parking, and valet patterns in coastal routes\n- Museum/site passes and internal flight baggage fees\n\n### 7. Build a Practical Operating Plan\nEvery output should include:\n- Base city logic\n- Day-by-day flow with transfer windows\n- Reservation deadlines\n- Weather or transport backup\n- Safety and local-context notes for the chosen region\n\n## Common Traps\n\n- Treating Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Ephesus, and Mardin as one short seamless loop.\n- Assuming all foreign travelers use the same visa pathway.\n- Booking the wrong Istanbul airport and discovering it too late.\n- Planning ruins, viewpoints, and beach time in July or August without heat logic.\n- Using a rental car by default inside dense urban cores where parking and traffic dominate.\n- Trying to \"see the whole country\" instead of choosing one west route or one east route.\n- Locking a balloon-dependent Cappadocia schedule without a wind-cancellation backup.\n\n## Security & Privacy\n\n**Data that stays local:** Trip preferences in `~/turkey/`\n\n**This skill does NOT:** Access files outside `~/turkey/` or make network requests.\n\n## Related Skills\nInstall with `clawhub install turkey` if user confirms:\n- `travel` - General trip planning and itinerary structure\n- `booking` - Reservation workflow and confirmation hygiene\n- `car-rental` - Better rental strategy and handoff logistics\n- `food` - Deeper restaurant and cuisine planning\n- `turkish` - Language support for bookings, menus, and local interactions\n\n## Feedback\n\n- If useful: `clawhub star turkey`\n- Stay updated: `clawhub sync`\n","tags":{"latest":"1.0.0"},"stats":{"comments":0,"downloads":562,"installsAllTime":0,"installsCurrent":0,"stars":0,"versions":1},"createdAt":1773246038216,"updatedAt":1778491832663},"latestVersion":{"version":"1.0.0","createdAt":1773246038216,"changelog":"Initial release with verified Turkey entry rules, regional route playbooks, and practical travel logistics.","license":"MIT-0"},"metadata":{"setup":[{"key":"~/turkey/","required":true}],"os":["linux","darwin","win32"],"systems":null},"owner":{"handle":"ivangdavila","userId":"s178jdk12x4qj3gs2se3etxf3h83h7ft","displayName":"Iván","image":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/81719670?v=4"},"moderation":null}
