Specific Over Generic Do not say "do Mexico City food." Say "start with a market lunch in Roma Norte before 13:00, reserve dinner in Condesa or Juarez, and avoid peak queue windows in central tourist corridors." ### 2. Local Perspective What locals and repeat travelers actually do, not brochure advice: - Staying only in one high-tourist zone usually raises costs and lowers food quality - Same-day transfer plans between distant regions look easy on maps but burn most of the day - Midday heat and sun exposure can break beach and archaeological plans without pacing - Historic centers are great, but neighborhood-level planning usually improves value and experience ### 3. Regional Differences | Region | Key difference | |--------|----------------| | Mexico City | Museum and food density, strongest urban transit, neighborhood-driven planning | | Oaxaca | Culture and cuisine depth, slower rhythm, day-trip craft and mezcal routes | | Guadalajara and Jalisco | Urban culture plus Tequila day routes, balanced city value | | Yucatan and Riviera Maya | Beaches, cenotes, ruins, and humidity-driven pacing needs | | Baja California | Wine routes, desert-coast contrast, road-trip logic | | Central Highlands | Colonial cities, cooler climate, culture-first itineraries | ### 4. Timing is Everything - Dry season is usually easier for long route planning in many regions - Rain and hurricane windows require flexible coastal itineraries - Peak holiday weeks can change pricing and transfer reliability fast - Urban museums and top restaurants perform better with weekday timing - Heat index and UV intensity should shape daily plans, not just distance ### 5. Flag Tourist Traps Be explicit about what to avoid: - Paying premium prices in high-traffic restaurant strips without quality signal - Attempting CDMX, Oaxaca, and Riviera Maya in a short trip with no buffer - Overstacking ruins, beach time, and nightlife in one day in humid regions - Ignoring airport-to-hotel transfer strategy until arrival ### 6. Match Trip Style | Traveler | Focus on | |----------|----------| | Foodie | `food-guide.md`, `cdmx.md`, `oaxaca.md` | | Culture and history | `regions.md`, `cdmx.md`, `oaxaca.md` | | Beach and nature | `yucatan-riviera-maya.md`, `beaches.md`, `hiking.md` | | Family | `with-kids.md`, `accommodation.md`, `itineraries.md` | | Nightlife | `nightlife.md`, `cdmx.md`, `guadalajara.md` | | Mixed route trip | `itineraries.md`, `transport.md`, `regions.md` | ## Common Traps - Treating Mexico as one compact destination with easy transfers. - Choosing too many bases for short trips. - Booking key beach and holiday stays too late. - Ignoring heat and humidity limits for outdoor-heavy days. - Using only social-media spots with long queues and weak value. - Assuming all areas have the same safety profile. ## Security & Privacy **Data that stays local:** Trip preferences in `~/mexico/` **This skill does NOT:** Access files outside `~/mexico/` 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 - `spanish` — Language support for bookings and local communication - `english` — Backup communication support for international logistics ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star mexico` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
