Amazon Ordering

Prerequisites

  CLI installed
• Chrome running with

  --remote-debugging-port=9222

  (see Starting the browser)
• Logged into Amazon — if logged out, retrieve password from your password manager
• If running headless (Linux/VNC), forward the VNC port to verify visually:

  ssh -L 6080:localhost:6080 <host>

  → http://localhost:6080/vnc.html

export AMAZON_SHIPPING_ADDRESS="Your shipping address"

Communication Style

• Do NOT narrate each step — just execute the whole return silently
• Only message the user once it's confirmed with a brief summary:
  • Item name
  • Refund amount
  • Drop-off location & deadline
• If something goes wrong or needs clarification, then ask

Ordering Rules

Reorders (items ordered before)

• Go directly to order history, search for item
• Click "Buy it again"
• Verify address and payment method
• Place order without confirmation — no screenshot needed

New Items (never ordered before)

• Search or navigate to product
• Send screenshot of product page (scroll so price + product image visible, skip nav bars)
• Wait for user confirmation before adding to cart
• Verify address and payment method
• Place order after confirmation

Workflow

Connect to browser

agent-browser connect 9222

--new-tab

open

Search order history

agent-browser open "https://www.amazon.com/gp/your-account/order-history"
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Find search box, fill with item name, click search

Reorder flow

# From order history search results
agent-browser click @[buy-it-again-ref]
# Wait for checkout page
agent-browser snapshot
# Verify correct address and payment method are selected
agent-browser click @[place-order-ref]

Screenshot tips

• Scroll past nav bars before screenshotting
• Ensure price and product image are both visible
• Save screenshots to a temporary directory
• Send via message tool with caption

Starting the browser (if not running)

Notes

• Browser profile persists login at

  $HOME/.config/chrome-agent

• On headless Linux, VNC display is typically

  :99

  on port 5999 (noVNC on 6080)
• Order confirmations go to the email on your Amazon account
• CAPTCHAs or 2FA may require manual intervention — if the browser window is visible (macOS or Linux desktop), ask the user to solve it in the Chrome window
