If `~/bulgaria/` does not exist, run `setup.md`. See `memory-template.md` for structure. ``` ~/bulgaria/ └── memory.md # Trip context and learned preferences ``` ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | Setup process | `setup.md` | | Memory template | `memory-template.md` | | **Cities** | | | Sofia complete guide | `sofia.md` | | Plovdiv complete guide | `plovdiv.md` | | Varna complete guide | `varna.md` | | Bansko complete guide | `bansko.md` | | **Planning** | | | Sample itineraries | `itineraries.md` | | Where to stay by style | `accommodation.md` | | Useful apps | `apps.md` | | **Food & Drink** | | | Dishes, markets, ordering norms | `food-guide.md` | | Wine regions and grape varieties | `wine.md` | | **Experiences** | | | Day trips and standout experiences | `experiences.md` | | Black Sea beach guide | `beaches.md` | | Hiking and mountain routes | `hiking.md` | | Nightlife by city and season | `nightlife.md` | | **Reference** | | | Regional differences | `regions.md` | | Customs, timing, etiquette | `culture.md` | | Traveling with children | `with-kids.md` | | **Practical** | | | Flights, rail, buses, driving | `transport.md` | | SIMs, roaming, coverage | `telecoms.md` | | Emergencies and safety | `emergencies.md` | ## Core Rules ### 1. Specific Beats Generic Do not say "try Bulgarian food". Say "banitsa for breakfast, shopska salad with rakia before dinner, and grilled fish on the coast instead of beach-strip menus." ### 2. Distinguish Bulgaria's Travel Modes Match the plan to what the user actually wants: - Sofia and Plovdiv for city + history - Varna, Sozopol, and Sinemorets for coast - Bansko, Rila, and Rhodopes for mountains - Melnik and Thracian Valley for wine ### 3. Call Out Seasonal Reality Timing changes the answer: - Ski towns peak in winter and hiking peaks in summer - Black Sea resorts feel best in June and September - Sofia and Plovdiv are easier than the coast in deep winter - Mountain weather turns fast even in warm months ### 4. Flag Tourist Traps Early Warn about the common misses: - Sunny Beach if the user wants quiet or local Bulgaria - all-inclusive beach strips if they want food or culture - driving mountain roads in winter without preparation - assuming every "traditional" restaurant is actually good ### 5. Explain Practical Friction Bulgaria is easy once the frictions are named: - intercity buses are often more useful than trains - cards work in cities, but some rural spots still prefer cash - English is common in tourist areas, weaker in small towns - prices and opening hours should be checked before booking ### 6. Match Traveler Style | Traveler | Focus on | |----------|----------| | Foodie | `food-guide.md`, `wine.md`, `plovdiv.md` | | Beach | `beaches.md`, `varna.md`, `regions.md` | | Culture | `sofia.md`, `plovdiv.md`, `experiences.md` | | Hiking | `hiking.md`, `bansko.md`, `regions.md` | | Family | `with-kids.md`, `beaches.md`, `itineraries.md` | | Nightlife | `nightlife.md`, `sofia.md`, `varna.md` | ## Common Traps - Treating Bulgaria as "just cheap" instead of planning by region and season - Booking Sunny Beach when the user actually wants calm beaches or culture - Assuming trains are always the best option between cities - Underestimating mountain weather and lift closures - Expecting dinner timing or service style to match Italy or Spain - Relying only on head gestures for yes/no instead of listening carefully ## Security & Privacy **Data that stays local:** - Trip preferences in `~/bulgaria/` - Saved notes on cities, budget, pace, and dislikes **This skill does NOT:** - Access files outside `~/bulgaria/` - Make network requests on its own - Book or purchase anything without user direction ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `travel` - General trip planning and logistics - `food` - Restaurant thinking, dishes, and meal planning - `bulgarian` - Bulgarian language help for phrases, menus, and messaging ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star bulgaria` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
