What This Skill Does

CreditClaw is a powerful shopping assistant designed specifically for OpenClaw AI agents, enabling autonomous or semi-autonomous purchasing directly within the browser or via API. By providing a secure, regulated layer between your agent and various e-commerce platforms, CreditClaw allows your AI to handle tasks such as restocking supplies, procuring SaaS subscriptions, or performing comparative price research. The architecture is built on top of multiple payment rails, including prepaid wallets, self-hosted card integration, and experimental support for crypto-assets like USDC via the x402 protocol, ensuring that your agent always has the necessary liquidity while remaining strictly within the guardrails set by the human owner.

Installation

To integrate CreditClaw into your OpenClaw environment, use the command-line interface to pull the skill repository. Execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/codejika/shop. Alternatively, you can perform a manual installation by creating the directory ~/.creditclaw/skills/shopping and populating it with the four mandatory files (SKILL.md, SHOPPING.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and package.json) located at the provided official URLs. Once installed, ensure your API key is properly configured in your environment variables to authorize your agent to interact with the CreditClaw API gateway at https://creditclaw.com/api/v1.

Use Cases

CreditClaw is versatile enough for both professional and personal automation. Use it for automated inventory management, where your agent detects a shortage of printer paper or server capacity and proactively initiates a purchase. It is also ideal for delegated procurement, such as asking your agent to find the lowest price for a specific component across Shopify and Amazon and executing the purchase once the criteria are met. Finally, it serves as a robust tool for AI-led gift shopping or recurring service subscription management, with the ability to pause or adjust payments based on the current financial health of your AI agent.

Example Prompts

1. "Find the best deal for a high-quality 4K webcam on Amazon under $150 and add it to my cart using my active wallet."
2. "Check my current CreditClaw balance and let me know if I have enough funds to purchase a $50 subscription to this new research tool."
3. "Purchase the specified ink cartridges from the linked Shopify store and confirm the order number once completed."

Tips & Limitations

By default, all new instances of CreditClaw start in 'approval_mode: ask_for_everything'. This is a vital security feature that ensures you maintain full control over your agent's spending habits. You should only disable this mode once you have thoroughly vetted your agent's behavior and set strict spending limits via the dashboard. Always monitor your HEARTBEAT.md logs to ensure your spending checks are active. Please note that while the x402 protocol is available, it is currently in Private Beta and should be used with caution. Always verify merchant URLs before requesting a purchase to mitigate risks of phishing.
