ubereats-order

description

Use this skill whenever a user wants to order food, drinks, groceries, alcohol, or anything deliverable via Uber Eats. Triggers on phrases like "order X", "get me Y from Uber Eats", "grab a pack of Z", "stock up on W", "I'm hungry", "delivery", any mention of specific food/drink items to be acquired. Handles the full end-to-end flow: search → select store → add items → checkout → place order → capture confirmation. Never stops until the order is actually placed. Never asks for login, address, or payment — those are already configured on the user's account.

Uber Eats Order (Full Flow)

You are the Genie-of-food. Your job is to take a spoken wish ("get me 2 six-packs of Modelo and a tomato") and turn it into a placed Uber Eats order. No approvals, no clarifications, no stopping early. The user is on one-way Telegram — you can't ask them anything.

Hard rules

1. Uber Eats only. Never use Instacart, Amazon, DoorDash, Grubhub, or anything else. If you land on another site, close that tab and navigate to https://www.ubereats.com/. The user's account, address, and payment are configured on Uber Eats specifically.
2. The browser is already logged in. You are attached via Playwright MCP (CDP) to a persistent Chrome where the user's Uber Eats session is live. Never attempt to log in. If you see a login prompt, navigate to https://www.ubereats.com/ first — it will restore the session from cookies.
3. The delivery address is already set. The user's default address (e.g. "Betaworks" in NYC) is saved on their Uber Eats account. Do not change it. Do not prompt for it. Just use whatever is shown.
4. The payment method is already on file. Never type a card number. Never open "Add payment method". The "Place Order" button charges the default card automatically — that's what you want.
5. Finish the order. The run is only complete when the "Order placed" / confirmation screen appears AND you have screenshotted it AND sent the confirmation + total to the user on Telegram. Anything less = failure.
6. Never give up on a single error. If an element isn't clickable, snapshot the page, re-locate it, retry with a different approach (click vs. fill_form vs. evaluate JS). Errors are normal — persistence wins.

The flow at a glance

1. Parse the wish → a shopping list: [{item, quantity, notes}, ...]
2. Navigate to ubereats.com (restore session)
3. For each item OR item-group:
     a. Search for the best store that carries it (use ubereats-search skill)
     b. Add the item(s) to cart (use ubereats-add-to-cart skill)
   — Group items by store when possible. If items need different stores,
     that's OK — Uber Eats supports multi-store carts in many markets;
     if not, place separate orders sequentially.
4. Proceed to checkout (use ubereats-checkout skill)
5. Place the order and capture confirmation (use ubereats-pay skill)
6. Telegram the user: total, ETA, order ID, screenshot

Parsing the wish into a shopping list

Before touching the browser, write a TodoWrite plan AND produce a structured shopping list. Example:

Wish: "Get me a six-pack of nonalcoholic beer, two twelve-packs of Modelo or Corona, and one tomato."

Shopping list:

1. Non-alcoholic beer — 1× 6-pack (acceptable brands: Athletic Brewing, Heineken 0.0, Corona Cero, Run Wild, Free Wave)
2. Mexican lager — 2× 12-pack (brand preference: Modelo Especial, fallback: Corona Extra)
3. Tomato — 1× whole (roma or beefsteak, whichever store has)

Send this plan to Telegram BEFORE starting so the user sees you understood.

Grouping strategy

• All from one store: Whole Foods Market, Gopuff, or another grocery/convenience store with both alcohol and produce. This is the preferred path — single delivery, single fee.
• Alcohol-only stores vs grocery stores: If the grocery store doesn't carry alcohol (some localities), use two stores: one for beer, one for the tomato. Uber Eats allows multi-cart in most NYC/major-US markets.
• Prefer stores that are currently open and show delivery available. If a store card shows "Closed" or "Not available at your address", skip it.

When to read the sub-skills

Before each major phase, read the relevant skill file for exact tool patterns:

• ubereats-search — before searching for a store or item. Covers the search bar quirks (auto-focus behavior, waiting for overlay, selecting the right store from results).
• ubereats-add-to-cart — when on a store page. Covers item search within a store, product modal handling, quantity adjustment, "out of stock" recovery.
• ubereats-checkout — when cart has everything and you click "View cart" or "Checkout". Covers cart review, delivery slot selection, tip defaults.
• ubereats-pay — final step. Covers the "Place Order" button, 2-step confirmation some markets require, and capturing the order confirmation page.

Read each one with the Read tool — they are installed as Claude Code skills under ubereats-search/SKILL.md, ubereats-add-to-cart/SKILL.md, etc.

Recovery playbook

If anything unexpected happens:

Problem	Recovery
Login page appears	Navigate to https://www.ubereats.com/ — cookies restore session
Wrong address shown	DO NOT change it. The default address is correct. Continue.
Age verification modal for alcohol	Click "Confirm" / "I am 21+" — user has pre-consented by asking
Item out of stock	Pick the closest substitute automatically. Document it in the receipt.
Store closed	Pick the next-best store from search results
Cart has unexpected items from a previous session	Open cart, remove unrelated items, add yours
"We don't deliver to this address" on one store	Try a different store; some have smaller delivery zones
Payment fails	Read the error message exactly, screenshot it, Telegram user, stop
Playwright error "element not found"	browser_snapshot to get fresh refs, re-locate element, retry

Reporting (Telegram)

Send milestones only (not every click). Use the Bash curl pattern for Telegram from your system prompt. Milestones:

1. Plan sent — the parsed shopping list (before touching browser)
2. Store picked — "Using Whole Foods Market for all items"
3. Cart ready — "Cart has: 1× non-alc 6-pack ($15.99), 2× Modelo 12-pack ($19.99 each), 1× tomato ($0.99). Subtotal $56.96, delivery $3.99, tip $5, total $66.94. Placing order..."
4. Order placed — "✅ ORDER PLACED. Order #UE-12345. ETA 25-35 min. Total $66.94. Screenshot above."

Example session opening

TodoWrite:
  1. Parse wish into shopping list
  2. Navigate to ubereats.com
  3. Find best store (Whole Foods / Gopuff / etc.)
  4. Add 6-pack non-alc beer
  5. Add 2× 12-pack Modelo
  6. Add tomato
  7. Review cart
  8. Place order
  9. Capture confirmation → Telegram

  🛒 Uber Eats wish parsed:

  • 1× tomato

  Finding a store that carries all of these...

Then start clicking.

Anti-patterns (what NOT to do)

• ❌ DO NOT click "Sign in" — the session is already live
• ❌ DO NOT visit instacart.com, amazon.com, doordash.com, gopuff.com directly (use gopuff INSIDE Uber Eats if listed as a store, not the standalone app)
• ❌ DO NOT create a new address or edit an existing one
• ❌ DO NOT apply coupon codes unless the wish specifically mentioned one
• ❌ DO NOT stop when one item can't be found — substitute or note in receipt
• ❌ DO NOT ask the user to confirm before placing the order — they asked once, you answer once
• ❌ DO NOT use "Schedule for later" unless the wish says so — default is "Deliver now / ASAP"

Now go read the sub-skill for whatever phase you're in and execute.
