homedepot

homedepot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AgentComputerAI/torch. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,359 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scraping guide for collecting product listings from Home Depot search pages. It explains how the pages are protected and where product details appear in the page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect product names, prices, stock details, and links from Home Depot search results. It is intended for browser-based scraping with Puppeteer and HTML parsing.
Why use it?
It avoids failed requests caused by Home Depot’s anti-bot protection and avoids unnecessary API work. It also explains how to remove duplicate product entries.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node work/homedepot/scrape.js "drill" 1 # query, maxPages.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

homedepot scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Home Depot (homedepot.com)

Akamai-protected Next.js site. Curl is dead on arrival (403 AkamaiGHost). Real Chrome via 127.0.0.1:9222 passes silently. Once inside, product data is fully server-rendered in HTML — cheerio parses it. No API replay needed.

Detection

Signal Value
CDN / WAF AkamaiGHost + Akamai Bot Manager (bm_ss, bm_so, akavpau)
Framework Next.js (React SSR, #__NEXT_DATA__ present but minimal)
Anti-bot Akamai sensor challenge — 403 on curl, silent pass in real Chrome
Auth Not required for search
Store / geo Prices and stock are localized; uses signed-in store cookie

Architecture

  • /s/<query> is an SSR search results page. All 24 product tiles are present in the initial HTML.
  • Each product tile is rendered twice in the DOM (likely mobile + desktop layout variants). Dedupe by product ID parsed from the /p/.../<id> href, or by the id itself. Expect pods.length == 48 and unique == 24.
  • #__NEXT_DATA__ exists but is not needed — direct cheerio selectors on [data-testid="product-pod"] give everything.
  • No XHR/API replay necessary. No need to scroll, click, or dismiss modals. Just domcontentloaded + waitForSelector.

Strategy used

  • Phase 0 (curl) — fails. curl -sL https://www.homedepot.com/s/drill → HTTP 403 AkamaiGHost, 2.3KB sensor challenge body. Do not waste time here.
  • Phase 1 (framework JSON) — __NEXT_DATA__ is present but the searchModel payload is not populated (SSR streams tiles as HTML, not JSON). Skip.
  • Phase 2 (browser) — puppeteer.connect({ browserURL: the real Chrome debug port }) → page.goto(url, { waitUntil: "domcontentloaded" }) → waitForSelector('[data-testid="product-pod"]'). Passes with zero friction. No stealth plugin needed — it IS the user's Chrome.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
