SRT Korean Train Service Skill

OpenClaw skill for managing Korean SRT (Super Rapid Train) reservations with search, booking, view, and cancellation capabilities.

Features

• 🔍 Search trains between stations with real-time seat availability
• 🎫 Make reservations with automatic rate limiting to protect your account
• 📋 View bookings to see all active reservations
• 🗑️ Cancel bookings with confirmation prompts
• 🤖 AI-friendly JSON output for programmatic access
• 🛡️ Rate limiting to prevent account blocking (3s between reservations, 5s between searches)
• ⚠️ Retry protection with maximum 10 attempts per session

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.10+ installed
2. SRT account with phone number and password
3. OpenClaw installed and configured

Configuration

Set your SRT credentials as environment variables:

export SRT_PHONE="010-1234-5678"
export SRT_PASSWORD="your_password"

Add these to your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.) for persistence.

Security Note: Avoid committing credentials to version control.

Important: Phone number must include hyphens in the format 010-XXXX-XXXX

Usage

User-Invocable Command

Use the /srt slash command in OpenClaw:

/srt search --departure "수서" --arrival "부산" --date "20260217" --time "140000"
/srt reserve --train-id "1"
/srt reserve --retry --timeout-minutes 60
/srt reserve --retry --train-id "1,3,5" --timeout-minutes 60
/srt log -n 30
/srt list
/srt cancel --reservation-id "RES123456"

Natural Language (AI-Orchestrated)

The AI can invoke this skill based on user intent:

Examples:

• "2월 17일에 수서에서 부산 가는 기차 검색해줘" (Search trains)
• "제일 빠른걸로 예약해줘" (Reserve first available)
• "내 예약 확인해줘" (List bookings)
• "부산 예약 취소해줘" (Cancel booking)

Direct CLI Usage

# Search trains
uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py search \
  --departure "수서" \
  --arrival "부산" \
  --date "20260217" \
  --time "140000" \
  --passengers "adult=2"

# Make reservation (single attempt)
uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py reserve --train-id "1"

# Make reservation with automatic retry - all trains (background mode recommended)
uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py reserve --retry \
  --timeout-minutes 60 \
  --wait-seconds 10

# Make reservation with automatic retry - specific trains only
uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py reserve --retry \

Tools for AI Agent

This skill provides 5 tools for managing SRT train reservations:

1. search_trains

Search for available trains between stations.

Usage:

uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py search \
  --departure "수서" \
  --arrival "부산" \
  --date "20260217" \
  --time "120000"

Returns: JSON array of available trains with seat availability

JSON Format:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "train_id": "1",
      "train_number": "301",
      "train_name": "SRT301",
      "departure_time": "120500",
      "arrival_time": "143000",
      "departure_station": "수서",
      "arrival_station": "부산",
      "seat_available": true,
      "general_seat": "예약가능",
      "special_seat": "예약가능"
    }
  ]
}

2. make_reservation

Reserve trains with optional automatic retry support.

Usage (single attempt):

uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py reserve --train-id "1"

Usage (with retry):

# Try all trains
uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py reserve --retry \
  --timeout-minutes 60 \
  --wait-seconds 10

# Try specific trains only
uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py reserve --retry \
  --train-id "1,3,5" \
  --timeout-minutes 60 \
  --wait-seconds 10

Options:

• --train-id: Specific train(s) to reserve (comma-separated, e.g., "1" or "1,3,5"; omit to try all trains)
• --retry: Enable automatic retry on failure
• --timeout-minutes: Maximum retry duration in minutes (default: 60)
• --wait-seconds: Wait time between retry attempts in seconds (default: 10)

Behavior with --retry:

1. Cycles through all available trains from search results
2. Waits --wait-seconds between attempts (plus rate-limiting delays)
3. Continues until success or timeout
4. Logs progress to ~/.openclaw/tmp/srt/reserve.log

Returns: Reservation details with payment deadline

JSON Format:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "reservation_id": "RES123456",
    "journey_date": "20260217",
    "journey_time": "120500",
    "departure": "수서",
    "arrival": "부산",
    "train_number": "301",
    "seat_number": "3A",
    "payment_required": true,
    "attempts": 12
  }
}

Note:

• Payment must be completed manually by user via SRT app/website
• For retry mode, run in background with exec tool and periodically check logs

3. view_bookings

List all current reservations.

Usage:

uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py list --format json

Returns: JSON array of active reservations

JSON Format:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "reservation_id": "RES123456",
      "journey_date": "20260217",
      "journey_time": "120500",
      "departure": "수서",
      "arrival": "부산",
      "train_number": "301",
      "seat_number": "3A",
      "payment_required": true
    }
  ]
}

4. cancel_booking

Cancel a reservation by ID.

Usage:

uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py cancel \
  --reservation-id "RES123456" \
  --confirm

Returns: Cancellation confirmation

JSON Format:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "success": true,
    "reservation_id": "RES123456",
    "message": "Reservation cancelled successfully"
  }
}

5. check_log

Check the progress of reservation attempts (especially useful for retry mode).

Usage:

uv run --with SRTrain python3 scripts/srt_cli.py log -n 30

Returns: Last N lines of reservation log file (~/.openclaw/tmp/srt/reserve.log)

Options:

• -n, --lines: Number of lines to show (default: 20)

Log Format Example:

[2026-02-03 11:00:00] INFO: === SRT 예약 시작 (재시도 모드) ===
[2026-02-03 11:00:00] INFO: 타임아웃: 60분

Error Handling

The skill provides clear, actionable error messages:

Common Errors:

1. AuthenticationFailed

   • Invalid credentials
   • Solution: Check phone number and password in config

2. NoSeatsAvailable

   • Train is sold out
   • Solution: Try next train or different time
   • Exit code: 1 (retryable)

3. StationNotFound

   • Invalid station name
   • Solution: Use Korean station names from the list above

4. NoTrainsFound

   • No trains for specified route/time
   • Solution: Try different date or time

5. RateLimitExceeded

   • Too many retry attempts (max 10 per session)
   • Solution: Wait a few minutes before trying again

6. NetworkError

   • Connection timeout or failure
   • Solution: Check internet connection and retry

Exit Codes:

• 0 - Success
• 1 - Retryable error (e.g., no seats available)
• 2 - Fatal error (e.g., authentication failed, invalid input)

⚠️ Rate Limiting and Account Protection

To protect your SRT account from being blocked by the server:

• Automatic delays between requests:
  • Minimum 3 seconds between reservation attempts
  • Minimum 5 seconds between search requests
• Maximum 10 retry attempts per session
• Exponential backoff after failures (3s → 5s → 10s → 15s → 20s → 30s)

What this means for users:

• The skill will automatically wait between requests
• You'll see waiting messages like "⏳ SRT 서버 보호를 위해 대기 중 (3초)"
• If you hit the retry limit, wait a few minutes before trying again

For AI orchestration:

• The AI should inform users about delays during retries
• Example: "재시도 중입니다. 서버 보호를 위해 3초 대기합니다..."
• After 10 failed attempts, suggest alternatives like different times or dates

Natural Language Handling

When users make requests in Korean, the AI should:

1. Extract parameters from natural language:

   • Stations (must convert to Korean if given in English)
   • Date (relative dates like "내일", "다음주 금요일" → YYYYMMDD)
   • Time (relative times like "오후 2시", "12시 이후" → HHMMSS)
   • Passenger count (default to 1 if not specified)

2. Call tools in correct sequence:

   • Search before reserving
   • List before canceling
   • Handle retry logic with rate limiting

3. Handle errors gracefully:

   • If no seats available, try next train (with delays)
   • If station not found, suggest correct Korean name
   • Inform user about waiting times during rate limiting

4. Confirm actions in Korean:

   • "예약이 완료되었습니다" (Reservation completed)
   • "3초 후 다음 열차를 시도합니다" (Trying next train in 3 seconds)
   • "결제는 SRT 앱에서 완료해주세요" (Complete payment in SRT app)

Real-World Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: Simple Reservation

User: "2월 17일에 수서에서 동대구 가는거 12시이후 제일 빠른걸로 2장 예약해줘"

AI Actions:

1. Parse: departure=수서, arrival=동대구, date=20260217, time=120000, passengers=adult:2
2. Search trains
3. Select first available train
4. Reserve train
5. Confirm with payment reminder

Scenario 2: Retry Until Success

User: "매진이면 성공할때까지 반복해"

AI Actions:

1. Search trains
2. Start background retry:

   exec reserve --retry --timeout-minutes 60 --wait-seconds 10 (in background)
   

3. Create monitoring cron job (isolated session + agentTurn):

   cron add --job '{
     "schedule": {"kind": "every", "everyMs": 120000},
     "payload": {
       "kind": "agentTurn",
       "message": "Check SRT retry log and report progress",
       "deliver": true,
       "channel": "discord"
     },
     "sessionTarget": "isolated",
     "enabled": true
   }'
   cron wake --mode "now"
   

4. Inform user: "백그라운드 재시도 시작. 2분마다 업데이트합니다."

⚠️ Background Retry Monitoring

MANDATORY: Use isolated session + agentTurn cron jobs for monitoring reserve --retry.

Setup

# 1. Start background retry
exec reserve --retry --timeout-minutes 60 (background)

# 2. Create monitoring cron (isolated + agentTurn)
cron add --job '{
  "schedule": {"kind": "every", "everyMs": 120000},
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Check `srt_cli.py log -n 30`, parse progress, report to user. Delete cron if done.",
    "deliver": true,
    "channel": "discord"
  },
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "enabled": true
}'

# 3. Wake immediately
cron wake --mode "now"

Requirements

• sessionTarget: "isolated" (NOT "main")
• payload.kind: "agentTurn" (NOT "systemEvent")
• payload.deliver: true
• Schedule: Every 1-3 minutes depending on task duration
• Wake: Always call cron wake --mode "now" after creating job

Why

• systemEvent in main session doesn't trigger agent action
• agentTurn in isolated session actually executes and reports
• Prevents blocking, message batching, and silent monitoring

Scenario 3: Check and Cancel

User: "내 예약 확인해주고 제일 빠른거 취소해줘"

AI Actions:

1. List reservations
2. Parse JSON, find earliest by date/time
3. Cancel reservation
4. Confirm cancellation

Scenario 4: Modify Booking

User: "부산 예약 취소하고 동대구로 다시 예약해줘"

AI Actions:

1. List reservations
2. Find Busan reservation
3. Cancel Busan reservation
4. Search for trains to 동대구 (same date/time)
5. Reserve new train
6. Confirm both actions

Payment Notes

IMPORTANT: This skill can search and reserve trains, but cannot process payments.

After making a reservation:

1. You'll receive a reservation number
2. Payment must be completed via:
   • SRT mobile app (iOS/Android)
   • SRT website (https://etk.srail.kr)
3. Check payment deadline (usually 20 minutes after reservation)
4. Unpaid reservations will be automatically cancelled

Troubleshooting

"SRT 인증 정보를 찾을 수 없습니다"

• Verify SRT_PHONE and SRT_PASSWORD environment variables are set
• Check your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc) has export keyword
• Example: export SRT_PHONE="010-1234-5678"

"검색 결과를 찾을 수 없습니다"

• Run search command before reserve
• Search results are cached in ~/.openclaw/tmp/srt/last_search.pkl

"재시도 한도 초과"

• You've made 10 reservation attempts
• Wait 5-10 minutes before trying again
• Try different trains or times

Login failures

• Verify credentials are correct
• Check if SRT service is available
• Ensure phone number format includes hyphens (010-1234-5678)
