Wishlist

What This Skill Does

The Wishlist skill turns OpenClaw into a sophisticated personal procurement assistant. It moves beyond simple note-taking by creating a dedicated file-system-based workspace under ~/wishlist/ that tracks items, monitors price fluctuations, and enforces purchase discipline. The agent maintains a structured database of your desires, categorized by priority and product type, while automating the tedious process of checking current prices against your target budgets. By managing a central purchased.md log, it even calculates your savings statistics and average wait times, providing a data-driven approach to consumer spending.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/wishlist Ensure your OpenClaw environment has permissions to write to your local directory, as the skill generates a robust folder structure for organizational efficiency.

Use Cases

• Strategic Shopping: Stop overpaying for items by setting target prices and waiting for price drops.
• Impulse Control: Force a 'cooldown' period by categorizing items into 'someday' or 'want' lists instead of buying immediately.
• Price Monitoring: Automate the chore of checking Amazon, Best Buy, or manufacturer sites for current costs.
• Financial Tracking: Maintain a clear history of your spending habits and identify how much money you successfully saved by hitting target price thresholds.

Example Prompts

1. "I want to buy the new Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones; add them to my wishlist with a target price of $300."
2. "Check my must-have list and tell me if any items have dropped in price this week."
3. "I just bought the standing desk for $450; move it to my purchased log and calculate my total savings."

Tips & Limitations

• Tips: Use the 'Notes' section in your item files to keep track of seasonal sales (e.g., Prime Day, Black Friday) to better plan your purchases. Regularly review the someday.md file to clear out items you no longer care about.
• Limitations: Price checking relies on the agent's ability to access the internet. Ensure your environment has stable network access. The accuracy of the pricing depends on the agent's ability to parse store pages, so stick to major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy for best results.
