amazon-shopper_skill

Overview

This skill automates buying, reordering, checking orders, and processing returns on Amazon using a controlled Chrome browser. It connects to a running Chrome instance with remote debugging and uses preconfigured defaults for shipping, payment, and return drop-off. Use it to perform silent reorders, guided purchases for new items, and standard return flows. It expects you to be logged into Amazon and to verify sensitive choices when prompted.

How this skill works

The skill connects to Chrome via the remote debugging port and opens a dedicated tab for all interactions. For reorders it searches your order history and uses the "Buy it again" flow; for new items it captures a product screenshot and waits for confirmation before checkout. Returns follow a scripted path that selects default condition answers, chooses refund to the original payment method, and selects a drop-off location. It reports a brief confirmation to you after a completed action and asks only if manual intervention (2FA/CAPTCHA) or clarification is required.

When to use it

• Place an identical reorder of a previously purchased item without extra prompts
• Buy a new product that requires you to review the product page screenshot before purchase
• Process a standard return and receive QR drop-off confirmation
• Check past orders and retrieve order details or receipts
• Automate purchases when you can monitor the browser for 2FA or CAPTCHAs

Best practices

• Ensure Chrome is running with --remote-debugging-port=9222 and the agent connects to that port
• Set AMAZON_SHIPPING_ADDRESS, AMAZON_PAYMENT_METHOD, and AMAZON_RETURN_DROPOFF environment variables beforehand
• Always verify shipping address and payment method on checkout even if defaults are set
• For new items, review the product page screenshot before confirming purchase
• If headless, forward or open VNC to solve any CAPTCHAs or 2FA that require manual input

Example use cases

• Reorder pet food from order history and place the order silently
• Return an item: complete the return flow and get the QR code emailed for Whole Foods drop-off
• Search order history for an invoice to confirm purchase details
• Find a new laptop listing, send a screenshot for approval, then complete the purchase after confirmation
• Automate routine monthly purchases using saved profile and payment defaults
