Combining Commands (Advanced Workflow)
An LLM can chain commands together for comprehensive answers:
Scenario: User asks "I need to get from 30th Street to Suburban Station, which train should I take and when does it stop at each station?"
Workflow:
Step 1: Run septacli to "30th Street Station" "Suburban Station"
Gets available direct trains with train numbers
Example result: Train 435 departs 3:51 PM, arrives 3:56 PM
Step 2: Run septacli train "435"
Gets complete schedule showing all stops between origin and destination
Shows exact times at each intermediate station
Step 3: Present comprehensive answer to user:
"Take train 435 departing at 3:51 PM from 30th Street"
"It stops at: Penn Medicine Station (3:54 PM), Suburban Station (3:56 PM - arrival)"
"Total travel time: 5 minutes"
Another Scenario: User asks "Are there any delays on trains to the airport right now?"
Workflow:
Run septacli trains to get all active trains
Filter results for trains with destination containing "Airport"
Check delay status for each
Present summary: "Train 5432 to Airport Terminal A is on time, departing 4:12 PM"
Output Format
