Description
Monitor product prices across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Best Buy to identify arbitrage opportunities and profit margins. Use when finding products to flip, monitoring competitor pricing, tracking price history, identifying arbitrage opportunities, or setting automated price alerts.
Usage Guidance
The packaged scripts are coherent and use mock data — they do not contact real e-commerce APIs or exfiltrate data. Before using in production: (1) review and implement proper API integrations (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Best Buy) and store any API keys securely (don’t hardcode them); (2) be aware of each marketplace’s terms of service and rate limits when adding real network calls; (3) validate CSV inputs before bulk runs and run untrusted CSVs in an isolated environment; (4) if you or a contributor add network calls or third-party libraries, re-audit those changes (look for unexpected endpoints, URL shorteners, or downloads). Overall this package appears internally consistent with its stated purpose.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: price-tracker Version: 1.0.0 The skill is designed for price tracking and arbitrage analysis. A key finding is that all network interactions with e-commerce platforms are explicitly mocked using `mock_search_product` in `track_product.py`, meaning no actual external network calls are made. File operations are limited to reading CSV input for bulk monitoring (`bulk_monitor.py`) and writing reports/alerts to local files, which aligns with the stated purpose. The `SKILL.md` provides instructions for the user, including how to set up cron jobs, but these are not directives for the AI agent to perform unauthorized system modifications or prompt injection attempts. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or persistence mechanisms was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included scripts: search/compare/monitor/price-history logic for Amazon/eBay/Walmart/BestBuy. The code uses internal PLATFORMS and mock search functions rather than any unrelated services, and it does not ask for unrelated environment variables or binaries.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the provided Python scripts and supplying CSV/input parameters. The scripts read CSVs and produce reports/alerts; they do not attempt to read arbitrary system files, probe environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints. The README clearly marks platform integrations as placeholders for future API integration.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification or remote download; the skill is delivered as local Python scripts. No extract-from-URL or external installers are present. Running requires a Python runtime only; no extra packages are declared.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. This is proportional to the shipped implementation which uses mock data. Note: switching to real platform APIs in production would legitimately require API keys and secrets — those are not present here.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It prints reports and optionally writes output files, which is appropriate for its function.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install price-tracker
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /price-tracker
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
