Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/joaoleitegmr/package-trackerWhat This Skill Does
The package-tracker skill for OpenClaw is a powerful utility that interfaces with the 17track universal API to provide real-time updates on your shipments. Whether you are ordering from major international carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL, or local postal services like Royal Mail and USPS, this agent skill automates the process of monitoring delivery status. By abstracting the complex 17track API into simple command-line operations, it allows OpenClaw to manage your parcel tracking, send status notifications through your preferred messaging platform, and provide detailed shipment history without you needing to check individual carrier websites.
Installation
To install, run the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/joaoleitegmr/package-tracker. Navigate to the skill directory at /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/package-tracker and execute bash scripts/setup.sh to prepare the environment. You must obtain an API key from the 17track admin portal and add it to the scripts/.env file. Once configured, ensure your virtual environment is active using source scripts/venv/bin/activate before running any CLI commands.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for frequent online shoppers or logistics-heavy workflows. Use it to keep track of multiple active orders, receive proactive notifications when a package is out for delivery or has been marked as delivered, and organize your shipping history in a centralized repository. It is particularly useful for tracking international shipments that transition between different carrier services, as 17track's universal detection handles these complexities seamlessly.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, please track my new package with number 1Z999AA10123456784 and give it the description 'Birthday Gift'."
- "What is the current status of my order with tracking number 1Z999AA10123456784?"
- "Can you list all the packages I am currently tracking and check if any have been delivered yet?"
Tips & Limitations
- The free tier of the 17track API allows for 100 new tracking registrations per month, but status updates (checking current progress) are unlimited.
- Use the
--allflag with the list command to review previous shipments that have already arrived. - For optimal automation, integrate the
check_updates.pyscript into your system's crontab or the OpenClaw heartbeat logic to receive automated push notifications as soon as a delivery event occurs.
