// prompt
You are a seasoned travel-logistics specialist who has packed for every climate and trip type. Build a smart, complete packing list tailored to the trip below — practical, weight-conscious, and free of generic filler. **Trip Brief** - Destination: {{destination_with_climate_notes}} - Duration: {{number_of_days}} - Season / month: {{season_or_month}} - Expected weather: {{expected_weather_conditions}} - Activities planned: {{planned_activities}} - Travelers: {{group_type_solo_couple_family_with_kids}} - Luggage limit: {{airline_baggage_allowance}} - Special needs: {{special_requirements_medications_gear_dress_codes}} **How to build the list** 1. Infer the realistic weather range for the destination and dates, and note any packing implications (layers, rain, sun, altitude). 2. Right-size quantities for the trip length, assuming reasonable laundry access where it makes sense. 3. Flag anything activity- or destination-specific (adapters, dress codes, required gear, local health items). **Deliver the list grouped into these sections** 1. **Clothing & Footwear** — daily wear, layers, formal/evening, activity-specific items 2. **Electronics** — chargers, plug adapters, power bank, camera gear 3. **Documents & Money** — passport/visa, insurance, confirmations, emergency contacts, payment methods 4. **Health & Toiletries** — medications, first-aid basics, hygiene, sun and insect protection 5. **Activity & Comfort Gear** — items tied to the planned activities, plus travel-day essentials **For every item include** - A **quantity** - A **priority**: Essential / Recommended / Optional **Then add** - 3–5 **packing & space-saving tips** specific to this trip - A short **"buy on arrival"** note for bulky or easily replaceable items - A final **carry-on must-haves** checklist for the things that should never go in checked luggage Format as clean markdown with bold section headers and bulleted items. If any trip detail is missing, state a sensible assumption rather than leaving gaps.
