# Amazon Shopping Skill

`amazon-shopping` searches Amazon.com product results with bounded, read-only web automation and deterministic local filtering.

## Example Invocation

```text
use amazon-shopping to search for 100w led bulbs that cost less than $4 each and have over 200 reviews with a review score of more than 4.5 stars
```

## Helper Commands

Run from the installed skill:

```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/amazon-shopping
scripts/search-products 'USB-C charger under $30' --limit 10 --json
scripts/search-products '100w led bulbs that cost less than $4 each and have over 200 reviews with a review score of more than 4.5 stars' --limit 5 --markdown
scripts/search-products 'USB-C cable with over 1000 reviews and rating over 4 stars' --limit 3 --json --skip-details
```

Use `--dry-run` to parse a request and show planned filters without navigating to Amazon:

```bash
scripts/search-products 'USB-C charger under $30' --dry-run --json
```

Use single quotes when a request contains dollar amounts so the shell does not expand `$4`. `--max N` is accepted as a compatibility alias for `--limit N`.

## Install Or Update

Run these commands from the `stef-openclaw-skills` repo checkout:

```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/projects/stef-openclaw-skills
git pull --ff-only
rsync -a --delete \
  --exclude node_modules \
  --exclude dist \
  --exclude coverage \
  --exclude tmp \
  --exclude out \
  --exclude '*.log' \
  --exclude '*.real.html' \
  skills/amazon-shopping/ \
  ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/amazon-shopping/
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/amazon-shopping
npm ci
```

Use the same sequence for a first install and for updates. `rsync --delete` keeps the active skill identical to the repo copy while preserving generated dependencies through the `node_modules` exclude. Always run `npm ci` after syncing because dependency changes are tracked through `package-lock.json`.

## Setup Verification

Verify the dependency skill, the active install, and OpenClaw discovery:

```bash
openclaw skills info web-automation
node "$HOME/.openclaw/workspace/skills/web-automation/scripts/check-install.js"
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/amazon-shopping
npm run lint
npm run typecheck
npm test
openclaw skills info amazon-shopping
```

For a quick parser-only check that does not browse Amazon:

```bash
scripts/search-products 'USB-C charger under $30' --dry-run --json
```

For a live smoke after install or update:

```bash
scripts/search-products '100w led bulbs that cost less than $4 each and have over 200 reviews with a review score of more than 4.5 stars' --limit 5 --json
```

## Dependency

This skill depends on the workspace `web-automation` skill and its CloakBrowser runtime.

## Fields

Each result includes the product ASIN, title, source URL, price, unit price when visible, rating, review count, delivery summary, specs, feature bullets, seller, availability, sponsored marker, matched filters, missing fields, and extraction notes.

Unknown or hidden fields stay unknown. The skill does not invent delivery dates, star histograms, prices, or review counts.

## Filters

Supported request filters include:

- minimum rating
- minimum review count
- maximum product price
- maximum unit price
- result limit
- maximum search pages

`over 200 reviews` and `more than 4.5 stars` are strict comparisons. `at least 200 reviews` and `4.5 stars or better` are inclusive comparisons.

## Guardrails

This skill is for operator-directed product research, not purchasing automation.

- It checks Amazon robots directives before live navigation.
- It does not sign in, add to cart, purchase, access wishlists, submit reviews, crawl review pages, or bypass CAPTCHA/block pages.
- It stops and reports a warning when Amazon returns a challenge, block, or disallowed robots path.
- It uses default bounded operation: 15 results, 2 search pages, detail pages one at a time.
