Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Monitor ShipStation for new orders and issues. Perfect for e-commerce businesses using ShipStation to aggregate orders from multiple marketplaces.
✅ New order notifications ⚠️ Alert for orders stuck in processing (>48h) 🛑 Flag orders on hold 🚚 Immediate alert for expedited/2-day/priority orders 📊 Daily summary reports 🔄 Automatic state tracking (avoids duplicate alerts)
ShipStation account with API access Node.js (included with OpenClaw)
Log into ShipStation Go to Settings → Account → API Settings Use Legacy API (V1) - generate API Key + API Secret
Create .env file in your workspace: SHIPSTATION_API_KEY=your_api_key_here SHIPSTATION_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
node check-orders.js Output shows: Total orders in last 24h New orders detected Any alerts Exit codes: 0 - Success, no alerts 1 - Success, alerts found 2 - Error (API failure, bad credentials)
Add to your agent's HEARTBEAT.md: ## Check Orders Every 15 minutes: 1. Run: `node check-orders.js` 2. Parse results 3. If new orders or alerts → notify via sessions_send 4. If nothing → HEARTBEAT_OK Or use a cron job for scheduled checks.
node check-orders.js
const { exec } = require('child_process'); exec('node check-orders.js', (error, stdout, stderr) => { const results = JSON.parse(stdout); if (results.newOrdersList.length > 0) { // Notify about new orders } if (results.alerts.length > 0) { // Notify about issues } });
New Orders: Any order in awaiting_shipment or awaiting_payment status Issues Flagged: Orders awaiting shipment > 48 hours Orders on hold (payment verification, address issues, etc.) API Errors: Authentication failures Rate limit exceeded Network issues
The script maintains state.json to track: Last check timestamp Processed order IDs (prevents duplicate alerts) Pending alerts Inventory warnings (future feature) State file auto-prunes to last 1000 orders.
Edit check-orders.js to adjust: Alert Thresholds: // Line ~70: Change from 48 hours to 24 hours if (order.orderStatus === 'awaiting_shipment' && ageHours > 24) { Time Window: // Line ~60: Change from 24 hours to 12 hours const yesterday = new Date(Date.now() - 12 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(); Additional Checks: Add custom logic for your business needs (high-value orders, specific products, etc.)
Uses ShipStation API V1 Rate Limits: 40 requests per minute Script uses 1 request per check Key Endpoints Used: GET /orders?modifyDateStart={date}&pageSize=100
Error: "API credentials not configured" Check .env file exists in same directory Verify credentials don't contain placeholder text Error: "ShipStation API error: 401" Credentials are incorrect Regenerate API key in ShipStation Error: "ShipStation API error: 429" Rate limit exceeded Reduce check frequency No new orders detected but they exist: Check modifyDateStart window (default: 24h) Verify orders have been modified recently in ShipStation Check state.json - might already be processed
