Standard Agentic Commerce Engine
The Standard Agentic Commerce Engine is a production-ready bridge connecting autonomous agents with modern e-commerce backends. By providing a unified, high-precision interface, it allows any digital storefront to become "Agent-Native" instantly.

Reference Case: Lafeitu
For a production-grade implementation example using this engine, see the Lafeitu Gourmet Skill. It demonstrates the engine specialized for a real-world artisanal food brand.
🛠 Tool Priority & Fallback Strategy
To provide the most accurate and efficient experience, follow this priority sequence:
- API First (Primary): Always attempt to use the
commerce.pyscript first. It provides structured, high-precision data. Configure it via environment variables (COMMERCE_URL). - Stateless Headers: Rely on the engine's built-in header management (
x-user-account,x-visitor-id) to maintain session integrity without cookies. - Self-Correction: If the API returns a 404 for a specific slug discovered via browser, prioritize the API's
searchresults as the source of truth for the backend.
🧠 Agent Operational Logic
Follow these logical flows to ensure a high-quality user experience:
1. Product Discovery & Validation
Goal: Ensure the item exists and find the correct specifications before taking action.
- Action: Always run
searchorlistbefore adding to cart. - Logic: Use the API to discover the correct
slugand validgram/variant values. - Refinement: If multiple results are found, ask the user to specify based on the returned attributes.
2. Authentication & Profile Flow
Goal: Manage user privacy and session data.
- Logic: The API is stateless. Actions requiring identity will return
401 Unauthorizedif credentials aren't saved. - Commands:
- View profile:
python3 scripts/commerce.py get-profile - Update details:
python3 scripts/commerce.py update-profile --name "Name" --address "..."
- View profile:
- Required Data: Respect the schema of the specific brand's backend.
3. Registration Flow
Goal: Handle new users.
- Trigger: When an action returns "User Not Found".
- Instruction: Guide the user to the store's registration URL (often found in brand metadata).
4. Shopping Cart Management
Goal: Precise modification of the user's shopping session.
- Logic: The engine supports incrementing quantities or setting absolute values.
- Commands:
- Add:
python3 scripts/commerce.py add-cart <slug> --gram <G> --quantity <Q> - Update:
python3 scripts/commerce.py update-cart <slug> --gram <G> --quantity <Q> - Remove:
python3 scripts/commerce.py remove-cart <slug> --gram <G>
- Add:
- Validation: Gram/variant values must be strictly chosen from the product's available options list.
5. Brand Information & Storytelling
Goal: Access brand identity and support data.
- Logic: Use the
brand-infointerface to retrieve narrative content. - Tooling:
python3 scripts/commerce.py brand-story: Get the narrative/mission.python3 scripts/commerce.py company-info: Get formal details.python3 scripts/commerce.py contact-info: Get customer support channels.
