Grocery Shopping Assistant

Persistent pantry-backed grocery checklist for OpenClaw, intended for normal conversational use with Telegram shopping-list UI.

Grocery Checklist

This skill stores grocery state locally and supports a Telegram checklist UX.

Intended usage:

• OpenClaw handles conversation normally
• this skill provides grocery state and actions
• Telegram renders shopping and pantry views
• the managed OpenClaw route is the primary install mode

Runtime behavior:

• reads Telegram account config from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• writes pantry state to ~/.openclaw/data/grocery-checklist/state.json
• writes Telegram polling state to ~/.openclaw/data/grocery-checklist/telegram-bot-state.json
• uses the bundled wrapper at scripts/grocery.sh

Use it for:

• I ran out of salt
• Add milk and eggs to groceries
• What do I need to buy?
• Mark eggs bought
• I'm shopping now
• Should I go shopping today?

Wrapper:

bash <skill_dir>/scripts/grocery.sh ...

Core states:

• needed
• have

Telegram callbacks use:

callback_data: gchk:...

Behavior guidance:

• when tools are available, use mutate_grocery_items for state changes and render_grocery_view for Telegram UI
• treat natural grocery mutation phrasing as state changes
• for mutation intents, run the mutation first; do not render as a substitute for the mutation
• treat show me the shopping list, what do I need to buy, and “I am shopping now” phrasing as shopping-list renders
• treat show me the pantry and what do I have as pantry renders
• keep normal grocery conversation conversational
• after a Telegram UI render or callback, do not send a second explanatory message
• for successful Telegram UI actions, the ideal model output is exactly NO_REPLY
