checkers-sixty60

Shop on Checkers.co.za Sixty60 delivery service via browser automation. Use when the user asks to shop for groceries, add items to cart, order from Checkers, or manage their Checkers shopping basket. Handles delivery type selection, product search, backup preferences, regular item reordering, and deal evaluation.

Security Scan

The skill's instructions match a Checkers Sixty60 shopping workflow, but it omits critical runtime details (browser automation dependency and account authentication), creating ambiguity and potential risk.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description and SKILL.md align: instructions are focused on shopping, filtering for Sixty60 items, adding items, backups, reorders, and deal evaluation. However, the skill claims to operate “via browser automation” but declares no required binaries, tools, or environment assumptions — a missing dependency specification that should be justified (e.g., Playwright/Selenium or an existing authenticated browser session).

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions stay within the shopping domain: navigate UI, search, add/remove items, verify cart state, and handle backups and deals. The agent is instructed to verify outcomes rather than assume success and not asked to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate data. Instructions do require taking snapshots and verifying on-screen address/delivery info, which is appropriate for the task.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files — lowest install risk. Nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.

Credentials

The SKILL.md implicitly requires an authenticated Checkers session or a browser automation runtime capable of authenticating/acting on behalf of the user, but it declares no credentials, env vars, or guidance for safe authentication. That ambiguity can lead to unsafe behaviors (asking the user for login credentials, storing them improperly, or attempting to reuse unrelated sessions). The skill also advises taking snapshots of the UI (which may include personal data like addresses) but gives no guidance on handling or redaction of sensitive information.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled, has no install-time persistence, and does not request system-wide privileges or modify other skill configurations.

What to consider before installing

This skill's behavior is coherent for shopping on Checkers, but it omits how it expects to run. Before installing or using it, verify: (1) your agent platform provides a browser-automation runtime (Playwright/Selenium) and an authenticated Checkers session — otherwise the skill may prompt for credentials; (2) how any snapshots or screenshots will be stored, redacted, and transmitted (they can include addresses and personal info); (3) that the agent will require explicit user confirmation before placing orders or saving payment info. Avoid entering account passwords directly into a skill prompt; prefer using pre-authenticated browser sessions or official APIs. If you are uncomfortable with these gaps, do not enable the skill or ask the publisher for clarification on authentication and handling of sensitive data.

Checkers Sixty60 Shopping

Guide for shopping on Checkers.co.za using browser automation, focused on Sixty60 quick delivery.

Delivery Types

Checkers offers two delivery options:

1. Sixty60 (scooter icon 🛵) - Quick shop and delivery, maximum 40 items
2. Hyper (van icon 🚚) - Bulk shopping and larger items

Default to Sixty60 delivery unless the user specifically requests bulk/hyper shopping.

Cart Structure

The cart has two sections:

• Top section: Sixty60 items
• Bottom section: Hyper items (generally ignore this section)

Shopping Workflow

1. Filter for Sixty60 Items (Recommended)

Click the Sixty60 icon next to "Shop By Delivery" in the navigation to show only Sixty60-eligible items.

⚠️ Important: This is a toggle button. If already active, clicking again will deactivate the filter.

2. Search and Add Items

• Each item shows either a Sixty60 icon or Hyper icon at the bottom of the product card
• When Sixty60 filter is active, only compatible items are shown
• Look for deal badges under item images (e.g., "save R5", "buy 2 for R150")

3. Product Selection Strategy

When choosing between similar products:

• Prefer Vitality products when price is equal or similar (identifiable by Vitality logo at top-left of product card) - user earns points on these
• Choose the cheaper option after considering any sales/deals
• Evaluate bundle deals (e.g., "buy 2 for X") to determine if worth purchasing
• Consider unit price, not just total price

Selection priority (highest to lowest):

1. Vitality product at same or lower price
2. Lower price (considering deals)
3. Better unit price

4. Adding Items to Cart (Error Handling)

⚠️ Critical: Always wait for UI to update after clicking Add/+/- buttons.

Process:

1. Click the Add button or +/- button
2. Take a new snapshot to verify the update
3. Check the item counter on the product card shows the expected quantity
4. If an error alert appears, report it to the user
5. If the quantity doesn't match expected, try again or report the issue

Common errors:

• "Failed to validate your 60min item" - temporary stock/delivery issue
• Items may not add if out of stock or delivery incompatible

Never assume success - always verify the cart state after each operation.

5. Backup Preferences

Each cart item can have a backup in case of out-of-stock:

• Select a backup product OR
• Select "I don't want a backup" if no substitute is acceptable

Note: Items ordered before remember their backup preference, making reordering efficient.

Shop Your Regulars

Access previously purchased items to reorder efficiently:

1. Click "My Shop" in navigation
2. Click "Shop Your Regulars" (or navigate to /my-shop/shop-your-regulars)

Features:

• Shows all previously ordered items
• Items retain their backup preferences
• Cannot search within regulars (limitation)
• Can filter using the filter dropdown
• Can sort items

Best practice: When user mentions common grocery items they regularly buy, check regulars first.

Deals and Promotions

Deal badges appear under item images showing:

• Flat discounts: "save R5"
• Bundle deals: "buy 2 for R150"
• Percentage off: "30% off"

Evaluate deals by:

• Comparing unit price vs. regular price
• Checking if bundle quantity matches user needs
• Considering if deal item is equivalent to preferred brand

Cart Management

• Maximum 40 items per Sixty60 order
• Cart shows running total in top-right (e.g., "R52.98")
• Can increase/decrease quantities using +/- buttons
• Remove items by reducing quantity to zero

Navigation Tips

• Search bar at top: Use for specific products
• "Shop by Department": Browse by category
• Check basket icon for current total and item count
• Address shown at top - delivery location confirmation
