What this skill needs

OpenClaw can load environment variables from `~/.openclaw/.env`. This script also falls back to reading `~/.openclaw/.env` directly if `TRIPIT_ICAL_URL` is not already present in the process environment.

Expected entry in `~/.openclaw/.env`:

TRIPIT_ICAL_URL=https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/private/.../tripit.ics

Execution

Prefer the OpenClaw virtual environment Python when it exists:

/home/picoclaw/.openclaw/workspace/openclaw_venv/bin/python {baseDir}/final_tripit_ical.py

If that exact path is not available, use:

python3 {baseDir}/final_tripit_ical.py

Use `--pretty` only when a human-readable terminal view is explicitly needed.

Output

The script returns JSON with:

Each event may include:

How to respond

1. Run the script.

2. Read `next_trip` first.

3. Give the user a concise summary of the next trip.

4. If useful, list the most relevant itinerary items in chronological order.

5. If there are no upcoming events, clearly say there is no upcoming TripIt itinerary.

6. Never invent flight numbers, hotels, dates, or locations that are not in the JSON.
