DealWatch Read-only Builder

Teach the agent how to connect the published DealWatch MCP package, choose the right read-only tool, and guide the user through the compare-first safe path without claiming hosted or write-capable features.

Use this skill when the user wants the shortest truthful path into DealWatch.

What this skill teaches

• how to install the published DealWatch MCP package
• how to choose the right read-only tool for the current job
• how to start with runtime readiness and compare preview before deeper reads
• how to keep the answer inside the current local-first boundary

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• connect DealWatch to OpenHands or OpenClaw
• check whether DealWatch is ready for a local read-only session
• compare grocery product URLs before creating durable state
• inspect watch tasks, watch groups, or recovery state without mutating anything

If the MCP is not connected yet

Open README.md in this folder and follow references/INSTALL.md. Do not invent repo-local launch commands when the published package already exists.

Safe-first workflow

1. get_runtime_readiness Use this first when setup, environment, or startup truth is unclear.
2. compare_preview Use this first when the user wants to compare candidate grocery URLs without creating tasks.
3. get_builder_starter_pack Use this when the user needs the integration contract or host setup path.
4. list_watch_tasks or list_watch_groups Use these after the first-safe path is already clear.
5. get_watch_task_detail or get_watch_group_detail Use these for one deeper read-only follow-up.
6. get_recovery_inbox, get_notification_settings, or get_store_onboarding_cockpit Use these only after the user is already inside a recovery or operator diagnostic workflow.

Tool-selection rule

• Choose compare_preview for “Which URL is the right target?”
• Choose get_runtime_readiness for “Is the local runtime healthy?”
• Choose get_builder_starter_pack for “How do I connect an agent or host?”
• Choose watch-task/group reads only after the user already has durable state to inspect

What to return

Return a short answer with:

1. the chosen lane
2. the next 1-3 actions
3. one boundary reminder
4. one exact MCP tool or install snippet
