cochesnet-cli

What This Skill Does

The cochesnet-cli skill provides a command-line interface for the OpenClaw AI agent to interact directly with the coches.net automotive marketplace. It serves as a bridge between the agent and the platform's API, allowing users to perform complex search queries for vehicles or retrieve deep-dive details for specific listings by their ID. The tool is optimized for both human-readable output (table format) and programmatic use cases (JSON format), making it ideal for automation tasks, price monitoring, or gathering data for comparative analysis.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following installation command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/pjtf93/cochesnet-cli

Ensure that your system environment is properly configured if you wish to override the default connection settings, such as COCHESNET_BASE_URL or COCHESNET_HTTP_USER_AGENT, though the tool is designed to work out-of-the-box with sensible defaults.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for scenarios where manual web browsing is inefficient. Use it when you are performing market research on used car prices, tracking the availability of specific car models, or building automated scripts that aggregate data from multiple vehicle listings. Developers can use the JSON output mode to pipe data into other analysis tools or dashboards, while end-users can leverage the clean table output to quickly compare prices, mileage, and vehicle years directly within the terminal interface.

Example Prompts

1. "Find me the 5 cheapest BMW models currently listed on coches.net."
2. "Get the full listing details for car ID 58229053 and provide them in JSON format so I can save them to a file."
3. "Search for Toyota models on the second page of results and output the table data."

Tips & Limitations

When using this skill, always prefer the --json flag if you intend to process the output with other command-line utilities like jq or external scripts, as the table format is optimized for reading but not for parsing. Keep in mind that the tool relies on the public API; if the API structure changes or if the platform implements rate-limiting, you may see non-zero exit codes. Ensure you have the proper network permissions enabled for your agent to reach the coches.net gateways. If results appear limited, adjust your query string for higher precision or use the --limit flag to explicitly request the desired volume of records.
