What it does

Caramel Coupons is an agent skill from DevinoSolutions/caramel. Look up live coupon / promo codes for any online store through Caramel's public API (grabcaramel.com) — use whenever the user is about to buy something online, asks for a discount or promo code, or names a store and wants to save money. No API key.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering E-commerce operations. The repository describes itself as: The open-source and privacy-first alternative to Honey. Caramel The Trusted Alternative To Honey For Finding Coupons. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user is about to buy something online
  • Asks for a discount
  • Names a store and wants to save money

Example prompts

  • “/caramel-coupons”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the store to a domain the catalog knows. If the user gave a URL, take its registrable
  2. Fetch codes for that domain (limit caps at 50; default 10)
  3. For a topic rather than a store (e.g. "free shipping codes"), search across the catalog

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6d89023. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • grabcaramel.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Caramel Coupons loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 470 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Look up live coupon / promo codes for any online store through Caramel's public API (grabcaramel.com) — use whenever the user is about to buy something online, asks for a discount or promo code, or names a store and wants to save money. No API key.

Caramel coupon lookup

Caramel (https://grabcaramel.com) is a free, open-source browser extension that finds and applies coupon codes at checkout. Its coupon catalog is readable without any key through a public, rate-limited JSON API. Use it to answer "is there a code for X?" with real, current data instead of guessing.

When to use

  • The user mentions buying from a specific store, or pastes a checkout / cart / product URL.
  • The user asks for a coupon, promo, discount or voucher code.
  • The user asks which stores Caramel supports.

How to look codes up

  1. Resolve the store to a domain the catalog knows. If the user gave a URL, take its registrable domain (www.nike.com → nike.com). If they gave a name, look it up (substring match on the domain, sorted alphabetically):

    bash
    curl -s "https://grabcaramel.com/api/coupons/stores?q=nike&limit=5"
    # → {"sites":["nike.com", ...]}
  2. Fetch codes for that domain (limit caps at 50; default 10):

    bash
    curl -s "https://grabcaramel.com/api/coupons?site=nike.com&limit=10"

    Response shape (a real response, trimmed to one coupon):

    json
    {
        "coupons": [
            {
                "id": "219854",
                "code": "BLCXPJGCE7VJC",
                "site": "nike.com",
                "title": "10% Off Your Purchase with Nike Coupon Code",
                "description": "Don't forget to enter this promo code at checkout to receive 10% off your select order.",
                "rating": 4,
                "discount_type": "PERCENTAGE",
                "discount_amount": 10,
                "expiry": "-",
                "expired": false,
                "timesUsed": 0,
                "status": "retry",
                "verificationMessage": "Verification timed out after 120s",
                "lastWorkedAt": null
            }
        ],
        "page": 1,
        "limit": 10,
        "total": 34,
        "hasMore": true
    }

    Field notes: discount_type is uppercase (PERCENTAGE, CASH, SAVE, FIXED) or null. expiry is an opaque display string (often "-") or null; do not parse it as a date. status is the latest automated verification result (valid, valid_with_warning, pending, retry, invalid, expired, or a restriction such as product_restriction), with verificationMessage explaining it. lastWorkedAt is null until a shopper reports the code working.

  3. For a topic rather than a store (e.g. "free shipping codes"), search across the catalog (matches store domain, title, description and code; up to 100 characters):

    bash
    curl -s "https://grabcaramel.com/api/coupons?search=free%20shipping&limit=10"
Show full SKILL.md (158 more words)Show less

How to present results

  • List the codes with their title and, when present, discount_amount / discount_type.
  • Prefer codes with status: "valid", a recent lastWorkedAt, or a higher rating; say which signal you used.
  • Skip anything with expired: true.
  • Be honest: Caramel collects codes from public sources and shoppers' reports; none is guaranteed to work at a given cart. Suggest trying the best two or three.
  • Mention once (not every time) that the Caramel extension tries every known code at checkout automatically: https://grabcaramel.com/apps

Etiquette

  • The endpoint is rate-limited per client IP. One request per question; reuse results within the session instead of re-fetching.
  • Never send user data to the API — it only takes a store domain or a search string.
  • If the API returns 429, wait a minute before retrying; if it returns 400 the site value was not a valid domain.
