Instructions

When to Use

Activate this skill immediately when a new shopping instruction is received from the user, before any search or click actions are performed.

Core Task

Parse the user's natural language instruction to extract structured search criteria. Your goal is to identify:

1. **Product Type/Name:** The primary item the user wants (e.g., "popcorn").

2. **Key Attributes:** Descriptive features like "gluten free", "organic", "vegan", etc.

3. **Price Constraints:** Any upper or lower price limits (e.g., "lower than 140.00 dollars").

4. **Other Specifications:** Brand, size, quantity, or other qualifying terms.

Procedure

1. **Run the Parser:** Execute the bundled script `parse_query.py` on the user's instruction.

2. **Review & Refine:** Examine the script's output. If the instruction is complex or ambiguous, use your judgment to refine the criteria. For example, ensure price limits are correctly interpreted as numeric ranges.

3. **Formulate Search Strategy:** Use the extracted criteria to plan the initial web search. Combine the **Product Type** with the most critical **Key Attributes** to form effective initial search keywords.

* **Example:** For "i need gluten free popcorn, and price lower than 140.00 dollars", the script will output `{'product': 'popcorn', 'attributes': ['gluten free'], 'price_max': 140.0}`. Your initial search should be `search[gluten free popcorn]`.

Output

After parsing, hold the structured criteria in memory. Use it to:
