Example prompt: Can you build me a full AM and PM skincare routine for combination skin with acne and hyperpigmentation concerns, keeping it under $80 total and flagging which nights to use retinoids vs exfoliants?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user needs a complete, personalized morning and evening skincare regimen — especially when ingredient conflict scheduling (e.g. retinoid nights vs. exfoliant nights), budget tiering from drugstore to prestige, or climate-appropriate product type guidance are required. It is more comprehensive than a single-ingredient checker or product lookup, covering the full routine holistically.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required skin type parameter returns an error or incomplete routine
- Unrecognized skin concern values may produce generic rather than targeted recommendations
- Climate or location data absent may result in non-climate-aware product suggestions
- Budget parameter out of expected range may default to a middle tier without notice
- Network timeout on Vercel serverless cold start may cause latency spikes

## How this service works

Build me a skincare routine — full AM/PM routine for your skin type, concerns, and budget. Conflict-checked active scheduling (retinoid nights vs. exfoliant nights), climate-aware product-type guidance, and drugstore-to-prestige budget notes.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the user's skin profile (skin type and concerns) along with ordered AM and PM routine steps, each specifying a step number and product category. May include budget tier notes (drugstore vs prestige) and ingredient conflict scheduling guidance indicating which active ingredients to use on which nights.
