Description
Purchase-timing decision skill for mainland China shopping that judges whether a current price is a short-term low, a fair buy, a wait candidate, or not wort...
Usage Guidance
PriceTide appears internally consistent and low risk: it does not ask for credentials or install remote code. Before using, remember it needs you to supply product links, screenshots, or price details to work; do not paste private account credentials or payment data into the chat. The included publish script is for authors and only checks for local tools (node, clawhub) — it does not download code. If you need the skill to act on your accounts (set reminders, auto‑claim coupons, or place orders), avoid providing account tokens because the skill explicitly states those actions are out of scope and require user action.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pricetide
Version: 1.0.0
The PriceTide skill is a shopping timing advisor designed to help users decide when to purchase items on Chinese e-commerce platforms. The instructions in SKILL.md and README.md are well-defined, focusing on price analysis and promotion cycles while explicitly setting safety boundaries that prohibit the agent from accessing private account data or performing financial transactions. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection was found across the codebase.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md, README and metadata all consistently describe a buy-timing adviser focused on Taobao/Tmall/JD/PDD/etc. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, env vars, or platform credentials.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to analyze public product pages, screenshots, and price clues and to produce a timing verdict. It explicitly states agents should not read account‑exclusive discounts or perform purchases. No instructions ask the agent to read arbitrary system files, secrets, or transmit data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction‑only). The only script is scripts/publish.sh which validates and publishes the skill using local clawhub and node tools; it performs no downloads or remote code execution. No archives or third‑party installers are fetched.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. Its functional needs (user-supplied product info, screenshots) align with this minimal environment footprint.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills or system-wide configs, and is user-invocable only. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but combined with the skill's limited scope this does not raise concerns.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pricetide - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pricetide - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
