Trip Guide PDF Car Sleep

Build the guide in HTML first. Export PDF only after night-parking anchors, route logic, and screenshots are stable.

Treat night parking as the anchor for each day. For car-sleep trips, the real constraint is usually not the scenic spot—it is whether the user can park, charge, wash up, and leave smoothly the next morning.

Core rules

1. Verify every hard number before writing it.
2. Separate hard data from soft signal.
   • Hard data: parking point, charger existence, toilet existence when relevant, route time, distance, tolls, scenic hours.
   • Soft signal: quietness, comfort, crowding feel, scenic vibe, overnight confidence level.
3. Distinguish 24h parking/charging access from overnight car-sleep explicitly allowed.
4. If overnight permission is not explicitly verified, label the spot as a candidate night anchor, permission unconfirmed rather than claiming it is allowed.
5. Prefer anchors with explicit car-sleep / camping signal over generic public charger parking.
   • Best: official campsite / campground / scenic camping area
   • Next: repeatedly mentioned car-sleep / overnight stop in social results
   • Next: service area with strong facilities
   • Last resort: generic public parking + charger
6. If the night parking anchor changes, recompute all dependent legs.
7. Do not present a generic public charger parking lot as the main night anchor unless stronger overnight evidence is unavailable.
8. Use formal, compact copy unless the user explicitly wants casual tone.

Workflow

1) Lock the planning frame

Extract:

• dates / trip length
• departure city
• vehicle type and whether EV charging matters
• trip style: solo, hiking, photography, family, etc.
• comfort vs scenery tradeoff
• output target: quick answer or polished HTML/PDF

2) Turn the request into car-sleep variables

Identify the variables that can change the whole plan:

• EV vs ICE
• charger dependence
• toilet dependence
• county-town first night vs scenic-adjacent first night
• main scenic line vs lighter backup line
• public parking vs scenic parking

Do not research these variables equally; prioritize the ones that make the trip operable.

3) Choose sources by job

Read references/source-selection.md when deciding what to trust.

Default split:

• maps / official scenic pages / structured listings for hard numbers
• notes and review sites for soft signal
• if Chinese travel/review sites are involved and normal search/fetch is weak, use cn-review-sites-cdp
• when Xiaohongshu detail pages degrade into 404 or blocked pages, still use search-result clustering as a soft-signal layer to detect which locations are repeatedly treated as camping / overnight spots

4) Verify hard data before drafting

Check the numbers and permissions that decide feasibility:

• origin → night parking anchor
• night parking anchor → main scenic spot
• scenic spot A → scenic spot B
• charger location and parking context
• nearby public toilet when the night plan depends on it
• scenic opening hours / latest entry
• whether overnight parking / overnight car-sleep permission is explicitly stated anywhere reliable

Re-run this verification after every night-anchor change.

5) Choose the night anchor before choosing the scenic order

For each night, rank anchors by:

1. overnight certainty
2. explicit camping / car-sleep signal strength
3. charger / refill certainty
4. next-morning route efficiency
5. nearby toilet / basic food access
6. scenic proximity

This order is intentional. “Closest to the scenic spot” is often not the best overnight point, and a generic 24-hour parking lot should lose to a repeatedly mentioned camping / overnight point.

6) Design the itinerary from the night anchor

For each day, choose the sleep point first, then build:

• arrival and recharge buffer
• dinner / wash-up window
• scenic entry window for the next morning
• return buffer
• holiday congestion buffer

If the user removes hotels, do not just delete the lodging section. Rebuild the schedule from the new sleep points.

7) Use screenshots as evidence

Keep only screenshots that support decisions:

• scenic proof image
• parking / charger context if the choice is non-obvious
• any visible sign or listing evidence about parking hours / overnight rules
• restaurant snippet only if it affects the overnight strategy

Reject screenshots that are blank, cluttered, QR-heavy, or mostly UI.

8) Run the QA gate before PDF export

Read references/qa-checklist.md and clear it.

Minimum gate:

• overnight anchors verified
• dependent route numbers recomputed
• screenshots clean
• tone formal enough
• filenames and variant names clear

9) Deliver and version clearly

Prefer scenario-specific filenames.

Examples:

• *_tesla_sleep.html
• *_car-sleep.html
• *_parking-revision.html

When sending local files through OpenClaw messaging, prefer relative MEDIA:./... paths instead of absolute MEDIA:/abs/path paths.

Revision logic

• Visual-only feedback: clean screenshots and tighten prose.
• Sleep-point change: recompute all dependent legs and next-morning structure.
• Charging concern: elevate charger, toilets, and service-area fallback strength.
• Weak overnight evidence: demote generic public charger parking and replace it with a stronger camping / car-sleep signal point.
• Comfort concern: consider swapping the lighter scenic day to a more urban or public-facility-rich anchor.
