dealwatcherer frontend | Compare-first dashboard. See the deal, not the noise. |
browser extension | Right-click any product. dealwatcherer does the rest. |
dealwatcherer worker | Scheduled checks, alembic-backed history. |
public skills | Drop into Claude/Codex/OpenClaw and let the agent shop. |
[!IMPORTANT] Local-first by default. No silent telemetry. No cloud round-trip. Your data stays on your machine until you explicitly ship it somewhere.

How It Work
The repo is seven layers — exactly the seven commits in git log. New work goes in as small named PRs. No 50-file mystery commits.
| Layer | What |
|---|---|
chore: scaffold | License, governance, hygiene gates, CI scaffolding. |
feat(core) | The primary engine. The reason dealwatcherer exists. |
feat(modules) | Packages, adapters, services, plugins. The second floor. |
feat(contracts) | Schemas, configs, public boundaries. Other code talks here. |
test: | Receipts. Everything in this layer must run. |
feat(ops) | Scripts, infra, CI helpers, build glue. |
docs: | Public docs surface. The pretty face. |
git log reads like a building floor plan. Look once, know the whole shape.
Ecosystem
dealwatcherer lives in the yard family: seven yards. one philosophy: structured input, structured output, structured proof.
