WebShop — Agent Guide
elizaOS adapter for the WebShop benchmark (Yao et al., NeurIPS 2022).
Evaluates web-interaction agents on product search and purchase tasks using
Princeton-NLP's upstream Gym environment, reward function, and 12k
human-written instructions. Registry id: webshop.
Run
# Direct, from this directory (small 1k-product profile, bridge mode)
python -m elizaos_webshop --profile small --bridge --max-tasks 50
# Through the suite orchestrator (resolves provider/model, stores results)
python -m benchmarks.orchestrator run --benchmarks webshop --provider <p> --model <m>
Fetch the upstream data first if not already present:
python scripts/fetch_data.py --profile small # ~9 MB, 1k products
python scripts/fetch_data.py --profile full # ~2 GB, 1.18M products
Smoke test (no API keys, no downloads)
python -m elizaos_webshop --use-sample-tasks --mock --max-tasks 3
Uses the bundled ~6-product sample catalog with the deterministic mock agent. No external dependencies beyond a working install.
Test the harness
pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
pytest packages/benchmarks/webshop/ -v
Tests are auto-skipped when heavy deps (spaCy model, torch, thefuzz, bs4) are
absent, so pytest still passes cleanly in a fresh checkout.

Notes
- Results write to
benchmark_results/webshop/<timestamp>/(gitignored):webshop-results.json,webshop-summary.md,webshop-detailed.json. - Scored by
_score_from_webshop_jsoninregistry/scores.py. - Reward function is upstream's
web_agent_site.engine.goal.get_reward(TF-IDF / fuzzy match over title, attributes, options, price) — identical to the published paper. - spaCy
en_core_web_smis required at runtime; install once withpython -m spacy download en_core_web_sm. - Full background: README.md.
⛔ NON-NEGOTIABLE — evidence, trajectories & real end-to-end tests
The binding, repo-wide standard is AGENTS.md. Read it. Nothing in this package is done until it is proven done — a reviewer must confirm it works without reading the code, from the artifacts you attach. This applies to every feature, fix, refactor, and chore here. "Tests pass" is not proof; "CI is green" is not proof.
- Record AND read model trajectories. Capture the actual inputs and outputs of the model
from a live LLM — not the deterministic proxy, not a mock: the prompt, the
providers/context, the raw model output, every tool/action call, and the result. Then open
the trajectory and review it by hand. A captured-but-unread trajectory is not evidence
(
packages/scenario-runner/bin/eliza-scenarios run <scenario> --report <out>). - Real, full-featured E2E — no larp. Every feature ships detailed end-to-end tests that drive the real path end to end. Not the happy "front door" only: cover error paths, edge/empty/invalid input, concurrency, roles/permissions, and adversarial input. A test that asserts against a mock/stub/fixture standing in for the thing under test does not count. If the real model/device/chain/connector/account is hard to reach, make it reachable — that is the work, not an excuse to mock. If the existing tests here are shallow or mocked, fixing them is part of your change.
- Screenshots + logs at every phase, plus a complete walkthrough video/run-through of
the entire feature or view, start to finish (
bun run test:e2e:record). - Manually review every artifact the change touches — never just the green check: client
logs (console + network), server logs (
[ClassName] …), the model trajectories in and out, before/after full-page screenshots, and the domain artifacts listed below for this package. - No residuals. No shortcuts. The goal is not "done" — it is everything done. Clear every blocker by the hard path: build the real architecture, stand up the real model/device/service, actually test it. Never leave a TODO, a stub, a stepping-stone, or a "follow-up." When unsure, research thoroughly, weigh the options, and ship the best, highest-effort, production-ready version. Keep going until every possibility is exhausted.
Artifacts → attached inline in the PR (MP4 video, JPG screenshots, logs in <details>); attach each evidence type or
explicitly mark it N/A with a reason — never leave it blank. If develop moved and changed
behavior, re-capture evidence; stale proof is worse than none.
Capture & manually review for this package — benchmark / eval suite:
- A real-model run (not the mock/smoke fixture) producing the score-report JSON, with the numbers inspected and the provider/model recorded.
- The per-item trajectories the harness captured, spot-reviewed for correctness — a green harness run over mock fixtures is not a result.
- The provider matrix actually exercised, and the scoring math validated against a known case.
- Failure / timeout / partial-output handling in the harness itself.
