packing-pro

Generates smart, categorized packing lists based on destination weather, trip duration, activities, and transport type. Produces weighted checklists with a critical-items section and weather-adaptive recommendations.

An agent skill that generates smart, categorized packing lists so you never forget essentials again.

What It Does

• Weather-adaptive — selects clothing based on destination temperature/season (cold → thermals, beach → sunscreen, monsoon → rain gear).
• Duration-aware — scales clothing quantities to the number of days, with laundry buffer for longer trips.
• Activity-driven — adds specialized gear for hiking, swimming, business, skiing, photography, and more.
• Transport-aware — applies liquid limits for flights, adds car-trip accessories, etc.
• Weighted — estimates item weights so you can manage baggage limits.
• Critical items — highlights must-not-forget essentials (passport, medications, chargers) in a separate section.
