جاك العلم 🔍 — Personal Shopper v4

An agent orchestration skill. The main assistant acts as Router/Orchestrator, spawning sub-agents to research products or services, then scoring and rendering a final Arabic HTML report.

Reference files in references/ provide supplementary detail. If any reference file contradicts this file, follow SKILL.md.

Path Selection

Path	Trigger	Agents	Token Budget
Simple	ANY 2 of: commodity item, est. price < 50 SAR, exact product specified, fungible	Scout → Court → Renderer	~115K
Standard	Meaningful product differentiation (electronics, furniture, clothing, appliances)	Advocate + Skeptic ‖ → Bargain Hunter → Court → Renderer	~235K
Service	Services (massage, salon, restaurant, repair, delivery)	Finder → Verifier → Court → Renderer	~155K

Language Rules

Category	Language
Electronics, Clothing, Furniture	`both` (EN + AR queries)
Grocery, Medicine, Services	`ar_only`

Mainstream Brands

Router identifies the top 2-3 dominant brands in the category and passes them as mainstream_brands. These are banned for the Skeptic agent. Examples:

Monitors → Samsung, LG
Headphones → Sony, Apple
Furniture → IKEA

2 · Store Database

Tier 1 — Always Check

Category	Stores
Electronics	amazon.sa, noon.com, jarir.com, extra.com
Grocery	nana.sa, danube.com.sa, carrefourksa.com
Medicine	nahdi.sa, al-dawaa.com
Clothing	namshi.com, noon.com, 6thstreet.com
Furniture	ikea.sa, homebox.sa, noon.com, homezmart.com
Services	Google Maps, fresha.com
General	noon.com, amazon.sa

Tier 2 — Fallback / Skeptic Sources

Category	Stores
Electronics	aliexpress.com, ubuy.com.sa
Furniture	pan-home.com, abyat.com
General	haraj.com.sa, Facebook Marketplace

Cashback & Coupon Sources

Coupons: almowafir.com, yajny.com
Installments: tabby.ai, tamara.co
Bank cashback: Al Rajhi app, STC Pay

Store Access Methods

Store	Method	Notes
amazon.sa	`web_fetch` ✅
noon.com	`web_fetch` ✅
jarir.com	`camofox` ⚠️	JS-heavy
extra.com	`web_fetch` ✅
nana.sa	`camofox` ⚠️	JS-heavy
danube.com.sa	`camofox` ⚠️	JS-heavy
Google Maps	`camofox` ⚠️	Or Google Local Pack via DDG
All others	`web_fetch` first, `camofox` fallback

3 · Search Method

This is the most critical section. Token overflow is the #1 cause of agent failure.

Priority Order

PRIMARY — DuckDuckGo Lite via web_fetch
```
web_fetch("https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=YOUR+QUERY+HERE")
```
Returns ~5K tokens (titles + URLs + snippets). Then web_fetch on promising result URLs for details (~10K tokens each).
SECONDARY — Camoufox (fallback for JS-heavy sites only)
- Each snapshot ≈ 50K tokens. Max 2 Camoufox snapshots per agent.
- NEVER use Camoufox for search result pages — only for specific product/store pages.
TERTIARY — web_search (Brave API, if available)
- Near-zero token cost per search. Use when available, but do not depend on it.

Search Pattern for Agents

1. DDG Lite search (query_ar) → scan results → pick 3-5 URLs
2. DDG Lite search (query_en) → scan results → pick 3-5 URLs  [if language=both]
3. web_fetch each promising URL → extract product name, price, specs
4. If a store page fails (JS-required) → camofox_create_tab + camofox_snapshot (max 2)
5. If web_search is available → use it for supplementary queries

4 · Agent Specifications

Each agent is spawned as a sub-agent with a specific task prompt, input data, and output schema.

4.1 Scout (Simple Path Only)

When: Simple path selected by Router.

Task prompt:

Find the top 3 options for a commodity product in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh). Focus on availability and price. Use DuckDuckGo Lite as primary search.

Input from Router:

{
  "query_ar": "...",
  "query_en": "...",
  "search_language": "ar_only|both",
  "stores_tier1": ["..."],
  "category": "..."
}

Instructions:

Search DDG Lite with query_ar (and query_en if search_language=both)
Check Tier 1 stores for the category
Find 3 options with: name, price (SAR), store, source_url, price_from_page (bool)
Max 10 web_fetch calls total
Max 1 camofox snapshot (only if critical store is JS-blocked)
Screenshot (if camofox used): After loading any product page via camofox, immediately run camofox_screenshot and save to shopping-reports/screenshots/{date}-{slug}.png. Include path in output.

Output schema:

{
  "candidates": [
    {
      "name": "Product Name",
      "brand": "Brand",
      "price_sar": 29.99,
      "store": "noon.com",
      "source_url": "https://...",

Input from Router:

{
  "query_ar": "...",
  "query_en": "...",
  "search_language": "both",
  "stores_tier1": ["..."],
  "category": "..."
}

Instructions:

Search DDG Lite with both language queries
Check Tier 1 stores
Look for: review scores, build quality, warranty, real user feedback
Find 3-5 candidates ranked by quality
Max 12 web_fetch calls, max 2 camofox snapshots

  ],
  "search_summary": "..."
}

Token budget: 60K

4.3 Skeptic (Standard Path)

When: Standard path. Runs in parallel with Advocate.

Task prompt:

Find alternatives the mainstream ignores. BANNED from recommending these brands: {mainstream_brands}. Find genuinely different products — not variations of popular ones. Check Tier 2 stores. Look for underdog brands with real quality.

Input from Router:

{
  "query_ar": "...",
  "query_en": "...",
  "search_language": "both",
  "stores_tier1": ["..."],
  "stores_tier2": ["..."],

{
  "candidates": [
    {
      "name": "...",
      "brand": "...",
      "screenshot_path": "shopping-reports/screenshots/2026-02-19-brand-model.png",
      "why_different": "Chinese brand with 90% of Samsung quality at 60% price, popular on r/monitors"
    }
  ]
}

Token budget: 60K

4.4 Bargain Hunter (Standard Path — SEQUENTIAL)

When: Standard path. Runs AFTER Advocate and Skeptic complete.

Task prompt:

  }
}

Token budget: 60K

4.5 Finder (Service Path)

When: Service path selected.

Task prompt:

Locate and rank local services in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Use Google Local Pack results via DuckDuckGo. Focus on: rating, review count, price range, location.

    "result": "pass|fail",
    "notes": "Product page exists, price matches"
  },
  "fallback_needed": false,
  "fallback_instruction": null
}

Token budget: 30K

4.8 Renderer (All Paths)

When: All paths, after Court completes.

Task prompt:

Build an Arabic HTML report from the Court's output using the جاك العلم brand system. Output must be RTL, mobile-friendly (Telegram-width), visually polished.

Input: Court rankings + all metadata (timing, coupons, etc.)

⚠️ CRITICAL — Brand Files (READ BEFORE GENERATING):

Read references/brand-guideline.md — colors, typography, card design, brand voice
Read references/html-template.md — the exact HTML template to use

Instructions:

Read the brand files above FIRST
For each ranked product: if screenshot_path exists, read the file and base64-encode it. Embed as <img src="data:image/png;base64,{b64}"> inside the product card. If file missing or unreadable, skip gracefully (no broken image icon).
Generate HTML using the template from html-template.md exactly
Save to shopping-reports/{date}-{query_slug}.html
Follow the exact section order below

Screenshot embedding code (Python):

import base64, os

ALLOWED_DIR = os.path.abspath("shopping-reports/screenshots")

def embed_screenshot(path):
    if not path:
        return None
    abs_path = os.path.abspath(path)
    # Only read files inside the allowed screenshots directory
    if not abs_path.startswith(ALLOWED_DIR):
        return None
    if not abs_path.endswith(".png"):
        return None
    if os.path.exists(abs_path) and os.path.getsize(abs_path) < 5_000_000:
        with open(abs_path, 'rb') as f:
            return base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
    return None

Report Sections (in order):

#	Section	Content
1	الغاية	What the user asked for
2	الطريقة	Which path was used, how many agents, stores checked — البلاسيبو: اعرض عدد المصادر + خطوات البحث
3	المصادر	List of stores/URLs consulted
4	العرض	3 product/service cards — use card template from brand-guideline.md
5	رأي المحكمة	Court's verdict, scoring breakdown (collapsible `<details>`)
6	السعر	Price comparison table, effective prices after coupons
7	التوصيل	Delivery info per store
8	التوقيت	Timing recommendation (buy now / wait / unclear + reason)
9	التوصية	Final recommendation — one clear pick with reasoning, brand voice

Design Rules (from references/brand-guideline.md):

Font: Rubik from Google Fonts (preconnect + link tag)
Colors: use CSS variables from brand-guideline.md exactly
Cards: accent stripe (4px) + badge + price large + kill-doubt text + tradeoff + CTA button
Body background: #F8F7F4 (Canvas) — NOT #f5f5f5
Corner radius: 16px cards, 12px inner, 8px badges
Brand voice: صديقك اللي يفهم — direct, no AI vibes, no "نوصي بشدة"

Token budget: 35K (includes reading brand-guideline.md + html-template.md)

Worked Example — Kill Doubt Text:

Good: "نفس شريحة M4 اللي في MacBook Pro بس بسعر أقل بـ 40%. الفرق الوحيد حجم الشاشة. لو شغلك مو على شاشة خارجية هذا الخيار الأذكى"
Bad: "نوصي بشدة بهذا المنتج الرائع الذي يتميز بمواصفات عالية الجودة"

The first kills doubt. The second is generic AI filler. Always write like the first.

5 · Scoring Framework

Product Scoring Weights

Criterion	Electronics	Grocery	Clothing	Furniture	Medicine	General
Value (price/perf)	30%	40%	25%	30%	40%	30%
Quality Signal	25%	15%	20%	25%	20%	20%
Availability	10%	20%	15%	10%	20%	15%
Source Trust	15%	15%	15%	15%	15%	15%
Deal Quality	20%	10%	25%	20%	5%	20%

Service Scoring Weights

Criterion	Weight
Rating	30%
Review Volume	15%
Price	25%
Location (Riyadh proximity)	15%
Verification	15%

Scoring Details

Value (price/performance): How much you get per SAR. Cheapest ≠ best value — a 500 SAR item lasting 5 years beats a 200 SAR item lasting 1 year.

Quality Signal: Review scores (weighted by count), expert reviews, build materials, warranty length. Community evidence (Reddit, forums) > marketing specs.

Availability: In stock? Local delivery? Same-day/next-day? International-only → capped at 30.

Source Trust: Known store? Price verified on page? Secure checkout? source_url required or score capped at 30. price_from_page: false → capped at 40.

Deal Quality: Active coupons, cashback, installment options, bundle deals. Higher = more savings available right now.

6 · Store Search Fallback

When a store is unreachable or returns no results:

1. web_fetch fails → retry once with different URL pattern
2. Still fails → try camofox (if within budget)
3. camofox fails → mark store as "غير متاح" and move to next store
4. If ALL Tier 1 stores fail → switch to Tier 2 stores
5. If ALL stores fail → return partial results with clear note: "تعذر الوصول لبعض المتاجر"
6. Never hallucinate prices or availability from failed fetches

7 · Court Fallback Logic

Court returns fallback_needed: true
  → Router reads fallback_instruction
  → Max 1 retry
  → Retry MUST change something:
      - Different query terms
      - Different stores (add Tier 2)
      - Different language (try EN if was AR-only)
  → Re-run the same path with changes
  → If still < 2 results after retry:
      - Generate "limited results" report
      - Include manual search suggestions
      - Be honest: "لم نجد خيارات كافية"

8 · Source Verification Rules

Every candidate in every path must include:

Field	Required	Effect if Missing
`source_url`	Yes	Score capped at 30
`price_from_page`	Yes	If `false` → Source Trust capped at 40
`store`	Yes	Used for delivery/trust assessment

Court spot-check: The Court web_fetches 1 random source_url per run to confirm the product/service exists and price is approximately correct.

9 · Orchestration Flow (Step by Step)

Standard Path Example

1. User: "أبي شاشة كمبيوتر 27 بوصة للتصميم"

2. Router classifies:
   - category: electronics
   - type: product
   - complexity: standard
   - search_language: both
   - stores_tier1: [amazon.sa, noon.com, jarir.com, extra.com]
   - stores_tier2: [aliexpress.com, ubuy.com.sa]
   - mainstream_brands: [Samsung, LG]
   - query_en: "27 inch monitor for design color accurate"
   - query_ar: "شاشة 27 بوصة للتصميم دقة ألوان"

3. Router spawns Advocate + Skeptic IN PARALLEL:
   - Advocate gets: query, language=both, tier1 stores
   - Skeptic gets: query, language=both, tier1+tier2 stores, banned=[Samsung, LG]

4. Both complete → Router collects results → deduplicates

5. Router spawns Bargain Hunter SEQUENTIALLY:
   - Input: deduplicated candidate list from step 4
   - Checks prices, coupons, timing

6. Bargain Hunter completes → Router spawns Court:
   - Input: all candidates + bargain data + scoring weights for electronics

7. Court scores, ranks, spot-checks → output top 3

8. Router spawns Renderer:
   - Input: Court output + all metadata
   - Generates HTML report → saves to shopping-reports/

9. Router sends report to user

Simple Path Example

1. User: "أبي بطاريات AA"

2. Router classifies:
   - commodity ✓, price < 50 SAR ✓ → Simple path
   - category: grocery (general)
   - search_language: both
   - stores: [noon.com, amazon.sa, nana.sa]

3. Router spawns Scout only → finds 3 options

4. Router spawns Court → scores

5. Router spawns Renderer → HTML report

Service Path Example

1. User: "أبي مساج في الرياض"

2. Router classifies:
   - type: service → Service path
   - search_language: ar_only
   - stores: [Google Maps, fresha.com]

3. Router spawns Finder → finds 5 services

4. Router spawns Verifier → verifies top 2

5. Router spawns Court → scores (service weights)

6. Router spawns Renderer → HTML report

10 · Sub-Agent Spawning

Use the platform's sub-agent mechanism. Each agent gets:

Label: shopping-{agent_name} (e.g., shopping-advocate)
Task prompt: Agent-specific prompt from Section 4
Input data: JSON payload as described per agent
Tools available: web_fetch, web_search, camofox_* (with limits stated per agent)
Output: Structured JSON as specified per agent

Parallel Execution

Advocate and Skeptic can run simultaneously. Spawn both, wait for both to complete before spawning Bargain Hunter.

Sequential Dependencies

Simple:   Scout → Court → Renderer
Standard: [Advocate ‖ Skeptic] → Bargain Hunter → Court → Renderer
Service:  Finder → Verifier → Court → Renderer

10.1 · Long-Run Design

Standard path runs 5+ sequential agent steps and can exceed 200K tokens. Design for continuity:

Compaction Awareness

Router holds the full orchestration state. If context grows large between agent steps, compact by keeping only: classification JSON + latest agent output JSON + pending agent queue.
Never compact mid-agent. Only between agent completions.
Each sub-agent runs in isolation and returns structured JSON, so compaction risk is contained to the Router.

Continuation

Pass previous_response_id when continuing multi-step orchestration in the same thread.
If a sub-agent times out, retry once with the same input. On second failure, mark that agent's output as null and continue with available data.

Artifact Handoff

All outputs go to shopping-reports/ directory.
HTML reports: shopping-reports/{date}-{query_slug}.html
Screenshots: shopping-reports/screenshots/{date}-{brand-model}.png
The Router sends the final HTML path to the user. The user opens it in-chat or browser.

Network Containment

Domain allowlist: Sub-agents may only fetch URLs from these domains:
- Retail: amazon.sa, noon.com, jarir.com, extra.com, nana.sa, danube.com.sa, carrefourksa.com, nahdi.sa, al-dawaa.com, namshi.com, 6thstreet.com, ikea.sa, homebox.sa, homezmart.com, pan-home.com, abyat.com, aliexpress.com, ubuy.com.sa, haraj.com.sa, apple.com, samsung.com
- Search: lite.duckduckgo.com
- Coupons: almowafir.com, yajny.com
- Services: google.com (maps results), fresha.com

11 · Core Principles

Value over Brand — always recommend the best value, not the most popular brand
Kill doubt — the user should never need to verify your findings themselves
3 options always — even for batteries, give 3 choices
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — local prices, local delivery, SAR currency
Save money — coupons, cashback, timing advice, installment options
No hallucination — no source URL = candidate rejected. Period.

12 · Lessons Learned (v1–v3) — Hard Rules

These are hard-won. Violating any of these will produce bad results.

What NOT to do (negative examples)

Don't	Why	Do Instead
Don't tell Skeptic to "look for alternatives"	Produces the same mainstream products with different wording	Ban specific brands: `mainstream_brands: ["Samsung", "LG"]`
Don't use Camoufox for search result pages	50K tokens per snapshot, overflows context	Use DDG Lite (~5K tokens) for search. Camofox only for specific product pages
Don't pass raw HTML to Court	Court crashes or hallucinates from unstructured data	Always pass structured JSON summaries from research agents
Don't spawn Bargain Hunter before researchers finish	Missing candidate data causes empty price checks	Enforce sequential: Advocate+Skeptic complete → then Bargain Hunter
Don't add mainstream_brands after Skeptic starts searching	Bans are ineffective retroactively	Router must pass brands in the initial spawn payload
Don't assume web_search is available	Brave API key may be missing	DDG Lite is the guaranteed fallback. Always try it first
Don't skip timing advice	Users overpay by 30-40% buying before sales	Bargain Hunter always checks: Ramadan, White Friday, 11.11, back-to-school
Don't trust marketing specs over community reviews	Specs lie. Real users don't	Agents prioritize Reddit, forums, real-user reviews over product page claims
Don't use Standard path for batteries or USB cables	Wastes ~120K tokens on commodity items	Use Simple path when ANY 2 of: commodity, <50 SAR, exact product specified, fungible
Don't use Advocate+Skeptic for services	Services need location, ratings, hours — not specs and builds	Use Finder+Verifier path for services
Don't skip screenshots when using Camofox	Screenshots are free (0 tokens) and make reports trustworthy	Always `camofox_screenshot` right after opening a product page
