Plan Chile trips with macro-region triage, verified entry rules, long-distance logistics, and practical safety for cities, desert, lakes, and Patagonia.
If ~/chile/ doesn't exist or is empty, read setup.md and start naturally.
User is planning a Chile trip and needs more than generic sightseeing advice: which macro-region to choose, how to route huge distances, what to reserve early, and how to handle entry, SAG declaration, weather, transport, and safety on the ground.
Memory lives in ~/chile/. See memory-template.md for structure.

Chile is long, transfer-heavy, and season-sensitive. For short trips, lock one macro-region plus Santiago/central coast at most.
Before building routes, confirm the traveler's entry pathway in entry-and-documents.md and declaration obligations in customs-and-biosecurity.md. Chile is strict about undeclared animal and plant products.
Use atacama.md, patagonia-and-torres-del-paine.md, and weather-and-seasonality.md before promising ambitious days. Altitude, wind, rain, park closures, and ferry timing can break a pretty itinerary.
For each plan provide:
Explain the tradeoff in cost, scenery, fatigue, reservation pressure, and weather resilience.
Budget using complete Chile trip math: domestic flights, Calama/Puerto Natales transfers, park tickets, refugios or tours, baggage, tolls, and card-vs-cash friction in smaller towns.
Call out mistakes before the user books:
Output should include:
Data that stays local: Trip preferences in ~/chile/
This skill does NOT: Access files outside ~/chile/ or make network requests.
