$ life --as-ops
Travel and logistics, treated like jobs: clear input, sourced output, exit code 0.
# Itineraries that compile
Day-by-day plans with bookings flagged, transit verified, budget split — no prose, just rows.
# Sourced or it didn't happen
Every line cites where it came from: official site, transit board, primary review. No vibes.
# Reads JP signage
Menus, station boards, city hall forms — translated where you are, in the register locals use.
# Errands, batched
Renewals, appointments, comparisons. Hand it the batch, take the diff back.
Trip Logistics
Routes, transfers, baggage, paperwork. The unglamorous stuff that decides if a trip works.
$ Plan a 9-day Tokyo → Kanazawa → Kyoto → Osaka route in late October for 2 adults. Output a table: day, leg, train type, reservation status, walk time from station to lodging.
$ I land at HND at 22:40 on a Friday. Last-mile options to Shinjuku given that timing: rank by cost, total time, and probability of working at that hour.
$ I am hopping between Lisbon, Porto, and Sevilla with one carry-on plus a 23kg bag. Cheapest left-luggage option in each city center, with hours and exact addresses.
$ Brazilian citizen flying London → Tokyo → Seoul with a 36-hour stopover. Visa requirements, transit rules, and the 3 documents I should print before leaving home.
$ Audit my draft itinerary (attached) for tight connections: any leg under 60 minutes between transit segments, with a one-line risk note each.
$ Build a fallback plan for a 7-day Iceland ring-road trip if the F-roads are still closed by mid-September. 3 alternates, ranked by drive time and lodging availability.
Itinerary Build
A plan you can ship: day-by-day, with bookings, budget, and one rest day per week.
$ Build a 12-day Vietnam itinerary (Hanoi, Hoi An, HCMC) for 2 adults, mid-budget, late March. Mark items that must be booked >2 weeks ahead with a `BOOK` tag.
$ For a 5-day Lisbon trip in spring (couple, mid-range), break total budget into flights, lodging, food, transit, activities, buffer. Use realistic euro figures. Output as CSV.
$ Rebuild my draft Kyoto itinerary (attached) at slower pace: max 1 paid attraction per day, one cafe stop, 2 hours unscheduled in the afternoon.
$ A 6-day NYC trip with kids 6 and 9. Itinerary that avoids subway rides over 25 minutes, includes one museum, one park, and one show. No taxi unless after 21:00.
$ Best booking windows and fare-tracking strategy for a Tokyo → Lisbon round-trip in June 2027 from a non-flexible departure date. Cite tools and historical price patterns.
$ Plan a 10-day solo Hokkaido trip in February, public transit only. Cold-weather kit checklist, lodging picks with private onsen, and one day reserved for snow delays.
On-Ground Ops
Live translation, reroutes, and the small problems that happen at 19:42.
$ I am in a Tokyo izakaya, menu is JP-only (image attached). Translate, flag anything seafood-heavy, and recommend 4 dishes that pair for 2 people drinking highballs.
$ Heavy rain just killed my Kyoto hike day. List 3 indoor alternatives within a 25-minute walk or train ride, ranked by what locals actually use vs. what TripAdvisor pushes.
$ Sore throat + mild fever in Bangkok. Translate what to ask a pharmacist in Thai, and list local equivalents for ibuprofen, lozenges, and electrolytes. No prescription items.
$ Dinner with a Japanese client tomorrow in Osaka, mid-range izakaya. Brief: order sequence, drinking etiquette, when to talk shop, how to handle the check.
$ I might have left my passport at a Lisbon cafe last night. Draft a PT email to the cafe and a 24-hour checklist if it doesn't turn up.
$ I am at Shinjuku station and the JR ticket machine won't accept my IC card. Likely causes ranked by frequency, and the next step for each.
Home Ops
Renewals, comparisons, bills, moves. The errand queue that never empties on its own.
$ Moving into a new flat in Berlin in 4 weeks. Build a countdown checklist covering Anmeldung, utilities (Strom + Gas), internet, Hausratversicherung, and the trash rules for Mitte. Tag each item by week.
$ Compare 3 robot vacuums under €500 for a 75 m² apartment, hardwood + one cat. Score on suction, mapping, bin volume, replacement-part cost over 3 years. Output as a table.
$ Brazilian passport renewal from abroad. Timeline, document list, consulate fee in EUR, processing time today, and the 3 most common rejection causes.
$ Plan 5 weeknight dinners for a couple, 30-min prep each, no fish, balanced macros. Output: recipe URLs + a shopping list grouped by supermarket aisle.
$ Coordinate the next week for 2 working parents and 2 school-age kids: pickups, an orthodontist appointment, one school play, one family dinner. Output as a calendar grid.
$ Audit my last 3 months of recurring bills (CSV attached). Flag every subscription I haven't used in 60 days and draft a 1-line cancellation email per provider.
