What it does
Partner Awards is an agent skill from borski/travel-hacking-toolkit. Loyalty program airline ticketing partnerships (alliance + bilateral). Cross-references credit card currencies to booking programs for award reachability checks.
Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Referral and retention marketing. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered travel hacking and search with cash, points, miles, and award flights. Drop-in skills and MCP servers for Claude, Codex, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Referral and retention marketing
Example prompts
- “/partner-awards”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The booking program can actually ticket the airline you're recommending
- Whether the partnership is alliance-based or bilateral
- Cross-alliance highlights (VA→ANA, Etihad→AA, Alaska→Starlux, etc.)
- Which credit card currencies can reach the booking program
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db82131. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Partner Awards loads about 999 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 513 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Partner Awards
Reference data: data/partner-awards.json
When recommending award bookings, check this file to verify:
- The booking program can actually ticket the airline you're recommending
- Whether the partnership is alliance-based or bilateral
- Cross-alliance highlights (VA→ANA, Etihad→AA, Alaska→Starlux, etc.)
- Which credit card currencies can reach the booking program
Cross-Alliance Bookings Are Where the Real Value Hides
The best redemptions often involve booking an airline through a program in a DIFFERENT alliance (or no alliance at all). Always check the cross_alliance_highlights section.
Verification Is Mandatory, Not Optional
When recommending a transfer, ALWAYS verify the transfer path exists in data/transfer-partners.json BEFORE committing to the recommendation. If a user or your own reasoning suggests a transfer path not in the file, verify it before agreeing. The file may be stale, or the path may not exist.
This is a hard gate, not a soft check. Never accept a transfer path at face value.
Reachability Workflow
When checking if a user can actually book an award flight:
- Identify the operating airline. Star Alliance? oneworld? SkyTeam? Independent?
- List all programs that can ticket it. Alliance partners + bilateral partners from
partner-awards.json. - For each program, check direct balance. AwardWallet shows what the user has now.
- For each program with insufficient balance, check transfer paths.
data/transfer-partners.jsonlists every credit card currency → airline program path with the ratio. - Effective balance = direct balance + max transferable in. A user with 16K United miles but 145K Chase UR has 161K effective United miles (UR transfers 1:1 to United).
- Drop programs that are unreachable. Only compare cpp on options the user can actually book.
Common Failure Modes
- Assuming an airline "can't be booked with points" because the user has zero direct balance. Always check transfer reachability first.
- Recommending a transfer without verifying the path. Some routes that "seem like they should work" don't (e.g., Amex MR does NOT transfer to United).
- Missing cross-alliance plays. United metal flights can be booked via Turkish M&S, Avianca LifeMiles, Aeroplan, ANA, and others, often at very different rates.

stopovers— Per-program stopover rules. Many partner-award bookings include a stopover at no extra mileage cost. The skill documents which programs allow them, the surcharge, the duration, and the booking method (online vs phone). Critical when the trip plan involves any layover beyond a few hours.round-the-world— Alliance-based RTW + Pacific Circle products that bundle multi-program multi-airline tickets. Star Alliance RTW, oneworld Explorer, oneworld Global Explorer, oneworld Circle Pacific, plus Lufthansa M&M, Qantas, JAL multi-carrier products. Often the cheapest path for 3+ region itineraries that would otherwise require chaining separate awards.transfer-bonuses— When a transfer bonus is active, the effective ratio changes the reachability calculation. A 30% Amex MR → Virgin Atlantic bonus turns a 50K Virgin award into 38.5K MR, which can flip the recommended currency in the optimization.status-match— Alliance status propagates across all alliance carriers. Matching into Atmos Gold (oneworld Sapphire) gets the user lounge access and free bags across all of oneworld, not just Alaska. The skill covers free direct matches, paid concierge, and the lifetime restrictions that punish wasted matches.
