What it does
Taobao is an agent skill from physiclaw/PhysiClaw. Shop on the 淘宝 (Taobao) app. Use whenever the user wants to buy, order, or price something on 淘宝 / Taobao / 淘宝闪购, or names the Taobao app.

- Price something on 淘宝 / Taobao / 淘宝闪购
- Names the Taobao app
Example prompts
- “/taobao”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c4abd39. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Taobao loads about 137 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 61 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Append 非直播 to the query (e.g.
牛奶 非直播) to filter out live-stream rooms. - Result cards tagged 直播中 are a shop's live room, not the item — skip them; tap a normal product card.
闪购
Tap the 闪购 tab at the top of the home page first, then search there (no 非直播 needed).
- 外卖: pick the brand's nearest, fastest-delivering branch.
