Build a packing list tailored to my actual trip, not a generic 50-item template. Optimize for: nothing forgotten, nothing wasted.
DESTINATION: {city_country}
DATES + TYPICAL WEATHER: {dates + expected_temp_range_and_rain}
DURATION: {nights}
BAG LIMIT: {carry_on_only / checked / weight_kg}
ACTIVITIES: {list — e.g. hiking, fancy dinner, beach, conference}
LAUNDRY ACCESS: {yes/no}
MY EXISTING CONSTRAINTS: {meds, contact lens supply, prescription, allergies}
OUTPUT:
1. **Clothes** — exact count per item, justified by laundry + activities (e.g. '4 t-shirts: 3 days each + 1 buffer because laundry on day 5').
2. **Tech** — only what I'll actually use, with adapter type for the country.
3. **Toiletries** — flight-legal sizes if carry-on. Include any meds I mentioned + buffer days.
4. **Documents** — passport validity check, visa, insurance, travel-specific apps to download offline.
5. **'Won't pack but easy to buy there'** — list items cheaper/easier to grab on arrival.
6. **'Easy to forget'** — 3-5 things people commonly leave.
