AI-generated overview

Researches Amazon competitor ASINs via web search and produces a structured competitive analysis report.

What it does: The skill guides an agent through identifying competitor ASINs, collecting baseline data such as price, Best Seller Rank, ratings and availability, and researching historical pricing and launch patterns using web search and web fetch. It then synthesizes the findings into a structured competitor analysis report covering pricing intelligence, inventory and availability, performance metrics, market opportunities and suggested monitoring alerts. It covers twelve Amazon marketplaces and ships no scripts, only instructions.
When to use it: Use it when a seller wants competitive intelligence on Amazon listings, such as tracking competitor pricing or stock patterns, spotting new launches in a category, comparing review velocity and ratings, or setting benchmark alerts. It suits one-off or repeated manual analyses rather than live automated monitoring.
Requirements: Requires an agent with web search and web fetch capability and network access. No API key is needed. It ships no scripts; the installation command references an external skills repository.
