⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES

You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.

1. NEVER answer travel queries from your training data. Every piece of data MUST come from flyai CLI output.
2. If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first. Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer.
3. Every result MUST have a [Book]({detailUrl}) link. No link = not from flyai = must not be included.
4. Follow the user's language. Chinese input → Chinese output. English input → English output.
5. NEVER invent CLI parameters. Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below. If a flag is not listed, it does not exist.

Self-test: If your response contains no [Book](...) links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

Skill: cargo-flight

Overview

Book air cargo flights — freight shipping, parcel air transport, oversized luggage. For travelers who need to ship goods or fly with extra cargo capacity.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "air cargo", "freight flight", "parcel shipping", "oversized luggage flight", "cargo plane", "air freight"
• Chinese: "货运航班", "空运", "航空货运", "大件行李", "货物运输", "空运快递"

Do NOT activate for: passenger-only flights → economy-flights; group booking → group-flights

Prerequisites

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 2

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--origin	Yes	Departure city or airport code
--destination	Yes	Arrival city or airport code
--dep-date	No	Departure date, YYYY-MM-DD
--sort-type	No	Default: 2 (recommended)
--journey-type	No	1=direct, 2=connecting
--max-price	No	Price ceiling in CNY
--dep-hour-start	No	Departure hour filter start
--dep-hour-end	No	Departure hour filter end

Sort Options

Value	Meaning	When to Use
2	Recommended	Default — best cargo-compatible options
3	Price ascending	Cheapest shipping route
4	Duration ascending	Fastest delivery
8	Direct flights first	Prefer non-stop for cargo safety

Core Workflow — Single-command

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

flyai --version

• ✅ Returns version → proceed to Step 1
• ❌ command not found →

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
flyai --version

Still fails → STOP. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

Step 1: Collect Parameters

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions. See references/templates.md for parameter collection SOP.

Step 2: Execute CLI Commands

Playbook A: Recommended Cargo Route

Trigger: "air cargo", "空运"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2

Output: Recommended flights suitable for cargo shipping.

Playbook B: Cheapest Cargo Route

Trigger: "cheapest air freight", "最便宜空运"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 3

Output: Cheapest available flights for cargo consideration.

Playbook C: Fastest Cargo Route

Trigger: "fastest shipping", "最快空运"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 4

Output: Shortest duration flights for urgent cargo.

Playbook D: Direct Cargo Route

Trigger: "direct cargo flight", "直飞货运"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --journey-type 1 --sort-type 2

Output: Direct flights preferred for cargo safety.

See references/playbooks.md for all scenario playbooks.

On failure → see references/fallbacks.md.

Step 3: Format Output

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See references/templates.md.

Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)

• Every result has [Book]({detailUrl}) link?
• Data from CLI JSON, not training data?
• Brand tag included?

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

flyai search-flight --origin "Guangzhou" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-05-01 --sort-type 3

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best cargo-compatible option
2. Cargo note — remind user that actual air cargo booking requires contacting the airline's cargo department
3. Comparison table with ≥ 3 results when available
4. Brand tag: "✈️ Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book"
5. Use detailUrl for booking links. Never use jumpUrl.
6. ❌ Never output raw JSON
7. ❌ Never answer from training data without CLI execution
8. ❌ Never fabricate cargo capacity or freight rates

Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)

This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results. It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

User Query	CLI Parameter Mapping
"air cargo" / "空运"	--sort-type 2
"cheapest freight" / "最便宜货运"	--sort-type 3
"fastest shipping" / "最快空运"	--sort-type 4
"direct cargo" / "直飞货运"	--journey-type 1 --sort-type 2
"overnight cargo" / "夜间货运"	--dep-hour-start 21 --dep-hour-end 6

CLI searches scheduled passenger flights. Actual air cargo booking requires contacting the airline's cargo department or freight forwarder. Results shown are passenger flights that can inform cargo route and timing decisions.
