## What it does

The skill exposes Costco operations for product discovery and purchase research. An agent can search by keyword, refine a query with suggestions, browse departments, load product details and review summaries, then compare at least two items side by side. It can also check shipping or pickup choices.

Location tasks use coordinates to find warehouses, retrieve their hours and services, and check whether an item is available in-store or online only. Cart actions cover adding an item, changing its quantity, and removing it by `orderItemId`.

Cart writes need an authenticated Costco session in managed Chrome, with cookies copied from the default Chrome profile. Without that session, `addToCart` returns a 403 from Akamai. Product details follow `itemNumber`, while reviews use `productId`; cart edits work only for items already present in the current `/CheckoutCartView` cart.

## Requirements

# Costco

## Overview
E-commerce warehouse club. Product search, detail, reviews, warehouse locator, delivery options, cart management, and product comparison.

## Workflows

### Find and evaluate a product
1. `searchProducts(query)` → product listings with `itemNumber`
2. `getProductDetail(itemNumber)` → price, description, attributes, rating
3. `getProductReviews(productId)` → review summary, rating distribution, recommendation %

### Compare products before buying
1. `searchProducts(query)` → find candidates → `itemNumber`s
2. `compareProducts(itemNumbers)` → side-by-side price, brand, rating, attributes
3. `getDeliveryOptions(itemNumber)` → shipping/pickup availability per product

### Check warehouse availability
1. `findWarehouses(latitude, longitude)` → nearby warehouses with `warehouseId`
2. `getWarehouseDetails(warehouseId)` → full hours, services, amenities
3. `checkWarehouseStock(itemNumber, warehouseNumber)` → in-store vs online-only, price

### Browse and discover
1. `searchSuggestions(query)` → autocomplete completions to refine search
2. `browseCategory(category)` → products by department with available filters

### Cart management (requires login)
1. `searchProducts(query)` → `itemNumber`
2. `addToCart(itemNumber, quantity)` → `orderItemId`
3. `updateCartQuantity(orderItemId, quantity)` → update quantity
4. `removeFromCart(orderItemId)` → remove item
