Amazon Shopping Skill

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

Example Invocation

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:

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
scripts/search-products 'sofa bed of 77 inches or wider, 4 stars or higher, 200+ reviews, shipped with Prime, delivery by tomorrow, top 10 by price' --limit 10 --json --markdown

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

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:

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:

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:

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

For a live smoke after install or update:

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 --markdown

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.

Markdown output uses chat-safe result blocks intended for direct user-facing answers in WhatsApp, Telegram, and terminals. Each product must keep a direct URL line:

## Best Matches

1. Example Sofa Bed
Price: $399.99
Rating: 4.3 stars
Reviews: 250
Width: 83" OK
Prime: Prime OK
Delivery: FREE delivery Tomorrow OK
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN

The OK / NO marker is only attached to fields that correspond to requested filters. For example, Prime OK means the helper found a Prime signal on the search card or detail page; not verified NO means the product did not pass a requested Prime filter.

Filters

Supported request filters include:

• minimum rating
• minimum review count
• maximum product price
• maximum unit price
• minimum width in inches
• Prime delivery
• delivery by today, tomorrow, or overnight
• sort by 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.

Examples of supported natural-language filters:

• 77 inches or wider
• shipped with Prime
• delivery by tomorrow
• overnight shipping
• top 10 by price
• rating 4.0 or better

Equivalent CLI flags:

scripts/search-products 'sofa bed beige' --min-rating 4 --min-reviews 200 --min-width 77 --require-prime --delivery-by tomorrow --sort-by price --limit 10 --markdown

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.
