You supply the facts. ChatGPT drafts; you check and decide.

Draft the result
Check and decide
Use: You
Event hours, accommodation area, opening-hour excerpts and interests; retain dates and timezone labels.
Use: ChatGPT
Use TXT sources to map fixed/flexible blocks, locations and hours; draft days, estimated transit, rest blocks, overlaps, optional drops and closure/hour/route/reservation checks; retain excerpts.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Activity packet with fixed/flexible blocks, locations, source hours, timezone labels and retained source excerpts. Map fixed and flexible blocks into an activity table; copy source hours, dates and timezone labels. Preserve the excerpts and identify missing locations. Use only the supplied packet for factual entries; preserve source labels, dates, units and uncertainty. Include the prior packet contents needed for review in the named output. Leave unsupported fields unresolved. Return only the named output packet. Task: Daily-sequence draft packet with transit allowances, rest blocks, flagged overlaps and retained activity table and source excerpts. Draft daily sequences around fixed blocks. Mark transit allowances as estimates requiring a current route check; include rest blocks and retain the activity table and source excerpts. Task: Itinerary-review packet with optional drops, live-check list, retained daily sequences, fixed blocks and source excerpts. List optional drops and checks for closures, hours, routes and reservations. Keep the daily sequences, fixed blocks and source excerpts together.
Use: You
Check dates, timezones, hours, locations, overlaps, opening days, transport and pacing; retain rest blocks, optional drops, live checks and unresolved transit estimates.
Do not resolve missing or conflicting source facts by inference. Keep reservations and account changes outside this preparation.
You build the activity table. Claude drafts daily sequences. You write optional drops and check commitments and routes.
