Does it support parallel searching?

Yes, Grocer dispatches parallel task agents for different stores to speed up the search process and prevent a single session from becoming overloaded with data.

How does Grocer handle websites that block simple scrapers?

Grocer uses the Playwright MCP to simulate a real browser environment, allowing it to navigate and extract data from Javascript-heavy retailer sites that standard HTML fetch methods cannot read.

What happens if a specific item is not found?

The skill automatically attempts 3-5 keyword variations using different technical or common terms. If still not found, it will check alternative stores or suggest practical DIY alternatives.

Can I prioritize specific stores or locations?

Yes, Grocer is designed to read your local preferences from config files, allowing you to set favorite stores, preferred measurements (metric/imperial), and specific locations for stock checks.
