Taobao, Product Reviews

itemId → paginated customer reviews (reviewer, date, purchased SKU, text, photos)

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

Navigate to a Taobao/Tmall product page, load the reviews section, and extract customer review content.

Prerequisites

  • Target page is already open in the browser: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id={itemId}
  • User is logged in to Taobao (user avatar or nickname visible in the page header)

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

2. Login Verification

If login status for Taobao has been confirmed in the current session → skip this step.

Otherwise: open https://www.taobao.com and observe the page header:

  • User nickname visible → logged in, continue execution
  • Login button visible → not logged in, inform the user that Taobao login is needed first, assist the user in completing the login flow

User refuses or cannot log in → terminate execution.

Capability Components

This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page, never bypassing authentication or access controls. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the scripts/ directory, invoked via eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". $(...) is bash syntax; it is recommended to use the bash tool for execution.

DOM: product reviews (data extraction)

The reviews section is lazy-loaded below the main product area. Follow these steps to load and extract reviews:
