How the agent did it
- Bilukha built a CLI and Claude Code skill connected to Silpo’s MCP server.
- Claude reviews purchase history, repeats regular items, checks active discounts and can apply a requested substitution and budget limit.
- The CLI verifies stock and prepares the remote cart, then stops for the shopper to review and pay.
Dmytro Bilukha built silpo-agent-cli and a Claude Code skill for rebuilding a weekly grocery cart on Silpo, a Ukrainian supermarket platform. He says around 80% of a weekly shop is repeat purchases such as coffee, milk, bread, produce and water, and adding those items through a web or mobile interface usually takes 15–20 minutes. The agent can inspect purchase history, re-aggregate recurring items, check active sales, and update the remote shopping cart in batches.
The tool has a clear financial boundary: it stops once the cart is ready. It verifies stock and prints a summary, while delivery address selection, payment confirmation and checkout stay with the shopper. The author’s example instruction asks Claude to reorder usual groceries, replace oat milk with a brand on sale if available, and keep the budget under 1,500 UAH. That exact prompt shows how to combine recurrence, substitution and a spending limit.
Bilukha presents this as a real shopping workflow and shares the CLI and package. He does not publish a measured time saving or report a completed order. The useful lesson is to let the agent prepare and verify a basket, then leave payment and final substitutions under human control.
