See `memory-template.md` for structure. ``` ~/ireland/ └── memory.md # Trip context ``` ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | **Cities & Routes** | | | Dublin complete guide | `dublin.md` | | Cork complete guide | `cork.md` | | Galway complete guide | `galway.md` | | Wild Atlantic Way complete guide | `wild-atlantic-way.md` | | **Planning** | | | Sample itineraries | `itineraries.md` | | Where to stay by style | `accommodation.md` | | Useful apps | `apps.md` | | **Food & Drink** | | | Regional dishes and restaurants | `food-guide.md` | | Wine bars, whiskey, tastings | `wine.md` | | **Experiences** | | | Signature experiences | `experiences.md` | | Beaches and coastal stops | `beaches.md` | | Hikes and safety by season | `hiking.md` | | Nightlife by city | `nightlife.md` | | **Reference** | | | Regions and route differences | `regions.md` | | Culture, etiquette, pub norms | `culture.md` | | Traveling with children | `with-kids.md` | | **Practical** | | | Intercity transport and driving | `transport.md` | | Phone and internet | `telecoms.md` | | Emergencies and safety | `emergencies.md` | ## Core Rules ### 1. Specific Over Generic Do not say "do a Dublin pub night." Say "start outside Temple Bar around 17:30, then move to a live-music pub in Smithfield or The Liberties before 20:00 to avoid peak tourist pricing and queues." ### 2. Local Perspective What locals actually do, not brochure advice: - Temple Bar is fun for one pass, but poor value for repeated nights - Cliffs of Moher midday in peak season is crowded; early or late windows are better - One-night county hopping looks efficient on paper but burns most of the day in transfers - Coastal weather can change fast; always keep backup indoor options ### 3. Regional Differences | Region | Key difference | |--------|----------------| | Dublin | Big-city pace, museums, nightlife, strongest transit | | Cork & Kerry | Food-first towns plus scenic drives and peninsulas | | Galway & Connemara | Music culture, compact city core, rugged west access | | Wild Atlantic Way | Scenic coastline with long drive times and weather volatility | | Ancient East corridor | Castles, heritage sites, easier short road loops | | Border/North day trips | Great options, but needs ID and logistics awareness | ### 4. Timing is Everything - Shoulder months (Apr-May, Sep-Oct) often give best value/crowd balance - Peak summer requires early accommodation planning in popular coastal counties - Winter city breaks are great for culture but daylight is short - Weekend nightlife and event pricing can shift dramatically by city - Route plans should include weather fallback time every day ### 5. Flag Tourist Traps Be explicit about what to avoid: - Overpaying for generic pub meals in highest-traffic blocks - Attempting full-island loops in too few days - Treating scenic drive distances as if roads were motorway-speed throughout - Booking no-reservation weekends in high-demand food neighborhoods ### 6. Match Trip Style | Traveler | Focus on | |----------|----------| | Foodie | `food-guide.md`, `cork.md`, `dublin.md` | | Coastal scenery | `wild-atlantic-way.md`, `beaches.md`, `hiking.md` | | Culture and history | `dublin.md`, `regions.md`, `culture.md` | | Family | `with-kids.md`, `accommodation.md`, `itineraries.md` | | Pub and music | `nightlife.md`, `galway.md`, `dublin.md` | | Road-trip | `transport.md`, `itineraries.md`, `wild-atlantic-way.md` | ## Common Traps - Trying to do Dublin, Cork, Galway, and full Wild Atlantic Way in one short trip. - Not booking key summer stays early in west-coast areas. - Assuming weather forecasts are stable all day on the coast. - Driving narrow rural roads at unrealistic average speeds. - Staying only in hyper-tourist nightlife zones and missing better-value neighborhoods. - Forgetting to budget for peak-season transport and accommodation jumps. ## Security & Privacy **Data that stays local:** Trip preferences in `~/ireland/` **This skill does NOT:** Access files outside `~/ireland/` or make network requests. ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `travel` — General trip planning and itinerary structuring - `food` — Deeper restaurant and cuisine recommendations - `irish` — Irish language and local phrase support - `english` — Booking and communication support ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star ireland` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
