# Message to the Host

Drafts the pre-booking or during-stay message so it actually gets a helpful reply.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Input 1** (choose one: Before booking, After booking before arrival, During the stay, After checkout)
- **What I need from them** (free text, e.g. "What I need from them")
- **Any context** (longer free text)
- **Input 4** (choose one: Polite and warm, Short and businesslike, Firm because something has gone wrong)

## Prompt template

Write the message I need to send.

- {{Input 1}}
- {{What I need from them}}
- {{Any context}}
- {{Input 4}}

Keep it short enough that a busy host reads the whole thing. One clear ask, not three.
