Who it's for
Six applicant patterns. One toolkit.
The skills cluster around the application archetypes most likely to get refused for the wrong reason. If you see yourself here, the skills will save you a re-application cycle.
First-time tourist
"Where do I start?"
Family of 4
Kids + adults need different docs
Refused → appeal
"Do I appeal or re-apply?"
Sponsored
"My spouse / parent is paying"
Business traveller
Invitation + reimbursement letters
Form-averse
Anyone who hates filling forms twice
How it works
/start-here is the entry point — everything else follows.
Six forcing questions about your trip — destination, dates, applicant count, sponsor, refusal history. Then the right specialists activate automatically.

The two tools, side by side
Skill prepares. Extension books.
Most applicants want both. The skill writes your cover letter and audits your forms before submission; the extension watches TLScontact and (in Premium) auto-books the slot.

Common questions
Questions, answered straight.
Do I need to pay anything?
No. The skills are 100% free, MIT-licensed. The only requirement is Claude Code, which has a generous free tier.
How is this different from the Visa Master Chrome extension?
The Chrome extension watches TLScontact and books slots (browser-side). The skills toolkit helps you prepare the application — cover letters, forms, documents, audits (terminal-side in Claude Code). Most applicants want both.
Which countries does it cover?
v1.0.0 is focused on France from the UK. Other Schengen countries (Italy, Spain, Germany, Netherlands) will land in v1.x — the frameworks are country-agnostic; only the consulate-specific forms need adaptation.
Can I use it offline?
Most skills work without external calls — they generate documents from your inputs. Claude itself needs internet, but the skills do not contact any third-party API.
What if I get refused?
Use /refusal-appeal — it walks you through deciding between appeal and re-application, drafts the appeal letter, and audits where the original application went wrong.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere except your own Claude Code session. The skills are local Markdown files; they do not ship analytics, telemetry, or "phone home" calls. Your visa application data stays on your machine.
How do I update?
Re-run the same curl install.sh command any time. The install is idempotent, sparse-checkout, and fast.
Can I contribute new skills?
Yes. The repo accepts PRs. Country-specific skills (Italy, Spain, Germany) are the highest-impact additions.
Stop memorising consulate rules.
