What This Skill Does

The secure-shopper skill is a sophisticated browser-automation tool designed for autonomous e-commerce research and secure purchasing within the OpenClaw ecosystem. By leveraging the secure-autofill framework, this skill enables an AI sub-agent to navigate, search, compare, and check out from your preferred shopping sites without manual intervention while keeping your credentials protected behind 1Password-backed security.

This tool is inherently asynchronous; when you trigger a shopping task, the agent spawns a dedicated browser session, ensuring your main chat interface remains responsive and unblocked. It supports intelligent filtering based on site-specific preferences, such as prioritizing price, shipping speed, or review scores. Furthermore, it implements strict safe-browsing guardrails, including intelligent snapshotting and context-length management, to ensure the agent doesn't get overwhelmed by the visual complexity of modern retail websites.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the secure-autofill skill installed at ~/.openclaw/skills/secure-autofill/ as it is a mandatory dependency. You can install the skill via the OpenClaw hub using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/moodykong/secure-shopper.

Once installed, initiate the setup by running the onboarding helper: node ~/.openclaw/skills/secure-shopper/scripts/onboard.mjs --sites 'Amazon=https://www.amazon.com|Walmart=https://www.walmart.com' --zip 46202 --priority cheaper

This script will generate your ~/.openclaw/skills/secure-shopper/config.json, which stores your preferred shopping locations, location-based shipping context, and optimization preferences.

Use Cases

• Dynamic Price Comparison: Automatically survey multiple retailers for the best price on a specific item.
• Routine Restocking: Use the agent to quickly find and reorder household essentials from preferred sites like Walmart or Amazon.
• Research-Heavy Purchases: Use the 'reviews' priority to have the agent summarize candidates based on aggregate ratings before suggesting the best purchase.
• Secure Checkout Automation: Leverage 1Password via secure-autofill to complete purchases securely without ever exposing raw credit card details to the browser environment.

Example Prompts

1. "Find a high-quality 27-inch 4K monitor on Amazon and Walmart, prioritize items with the highest review scores, and save the best three candidates to my workspace."
2. "Search for the cheapest box of cat food available for delivery to my zip code and proceed to checkout using my saved payment method."
3. "Look for a reliable external hard drive for my setup, prioritize delivery speed, and summarize why each candidate is a good choice before you ask me to confirm the purchase."

Tips & Limitations

• Non-Headless Requirement: Because many retailers employ anti-bot measures, the skill works best with a visible, non-headless Chrome instance. Ensure your system supports this.
• Context Management: The skill features a safeBrowsing configuration. If you find the agent is missing details, you can increase the snapshot depth or maxChars in your config.json.
• Authentication: Always ensure your 1Password CLI session is authenticated before initiating a checkout, as the secure-autofill plugin relies on these credentials being available.
• Runtime Overrides: Remember that any specific instruction provided in your chat message will override the static preferences stored in your configuration file.
