You can ask questions like: 1. "Is the pet supplies market worth entering?" 2. "Analyze ASIN B09V3KXJPB" 3. "Find Amazon products with low review counts but strong sales" 4. "Compare the top competitors in this category" 5. "Generate a full market research report" --- ## File map | Type | File | When to use it | |------|------|----------------| | Main guide | `SKILL.md` | Start here for almost every task | | Deep-dive modules | `01-*.md` to `07-*.md` | Load one module only when the request clearly matches that workflow | | Composite workflows | `workflow-*.md` | Use when the user wants a complete report or a multi-step research flow | | API reference | `openapi-reference.md` | Use only when you need exact parameter or response details | ### Context discipline - Start with this file - Load only one additional module at a time when possible - Use `openapi-reference.md` only when exact fields or filters matter - Prefer fewer, larger, high-value calls over many tiny calls --- ## Intent routing | User request pattern | Recommended flow | Extra file needed? | |----------------------|------------------|--------------------| | Which category has opportunity? | Market validation | No | | Analyze this ASIN | ASIN evaluation | No | | Who are the competitors? | Competitor analysis | No | | What price should I launch at? | Pricing & listing | No | | What are the pain points in reviews? | Product evaluation | No | | Give me a full market report | Full market workflow | `workflow-full-market-report.md` | | Help me choose products | Product selection | `02-product-selection.md` | | Help me expand into adjacent products | Expansion | `07-expansion.md` | | Monitor changes over time | Daily operations | `06-daily-operations.md` | --- ## Safety and scope - This is an instruction-focused research skill - It does not install software, request unrelated secrets, or require elevated privileges - It uses network access only when the user invokes APIClaw-backed research workflows - Its external data dependency is the APIClaw API ## API configuration | Item | Value | |------|-------| | Base URL | `https://api.apiclaw.io/openapi/v2` | | Docs | `https://api.apiclaw.io/api-docs` | | Auth | `Authorization: Bearer $APICLAW_API_KEY` | | Method | POST / JSON body | | Rate limits | 100 requests/min, 10 requests/sec burst | | Main marketplace | US | ### Example request ```bash curl -s -X POST "https://api.apiclaw.io/openapi/v2/{endpoint}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $APICLAW_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ ...params... }' ``` --- ## Endpoint overview | Endpoint | Main purpose | Best use | |----------|--------------|----------| | `categories` | category tree lookup | category discovery and path confirmation | | `markets/search` | market-level aggregates | market validation and category sizing | | `products/competitor-lookup` | competitor set discovery | competitor scans and brand comparisons | | `products/search` | filtered product search | product selection and opportunity screening | | `realtime/product` | live product detail | ASIN deep dives and listing analysis | --- ## Core workflow patterns ### 1. Market validation Use: - `categories` → confirm category path - `markets/search` → inspect demand, price, concentration, and new-SKU rate - `products/search` → inspect top products for brand and price structure Use this when the user asks: - "Is this category worth entering?" - "Which niche has room?" - "Compare these categories" ### 2. Product discovery Use: - `categories` → confirm category path if needed - `products/search` → filter for product opportunities - `realtime/product` → validate a shortlist Use this when the user asks: - "Find products for me" - "What should I sell?" - "Show low-competition opportunities" ### 3. Competitor analysis Use: - `products/competitor-lookup` → pull the competitor set - `realtime/product` → inspect leaders in detail Use this when the user asks: - "Analyze competitors" - "Compare these listings" - "Why is this product winning?" ### 4. ASIN evaluation Use: - `realtime/product` → inspect listing, specs, variants, review structure - `products/competitor-lookup` → add market context Use this when the user asks: - "Analyze this ASIN" - "Break down this product" - "What is weak about this listing?" ### 5. Pricing and positioning Use: - `markets/search` → category-level price signals - `products/search` → top product price bands - `realtime/product` → inspect how top listings frame value Use this when the user asks: - "How should I price this?" - "What price band makes sense?" - "Should I position this as premium or value?" --- ## High-value filters to remember ### For `markets/search` Most useful fields: - `sampleAvgMonthlySales` - `sampleAvgMonthlyRevenue` - `sampleAvgPrice` - `sampleAvgReviewCount` - `sampleBrandCount` - `sampleSellerCount` - `sampleFbaRate` - `sampleAmzRate` - `sampleNewSkuRate` - `topSalesRate` - `topBrandSalesRate` - `topSellerSalesRate` ### For `products/search` Most useful filters: - `monthlySalesMin/Max` - `salesGrowthRateMin/Max` - `priceMin/Max` - `ratingMin/Max` - `reviewCountMin/Max` - `listingAge` - `variantCountMin/Max` - `sellerCountMin/Max` - `includeBrands` / `excludeBrands` - `fulfillment` - `badges` - `excludeKeywords` ### Common product-discovery pattern High demand / low review barrier: ```json { "monthlySalesMin": 300, "reviewCountMax": 50, "listingAge": "180" } ``` Fast-growing products: ```json { "monthlySalesMin": 300, "salesGrowthRateMin": 0.1 } ``` New-product watchlist: ```json { "listingAge": "180", "badges": ["New Release"] } ``` --- ## Reporting guidance When generating output, prefer a decision-oriented structure: 1. What the market or product is 2. What the data suggests 3. What the main risks are 4. What the recommendation is 5. What the next action should be For reports, include tables such as: - top products - brand distribution - price bands - concentration metrics - opportunity score breakdown --- ## Recommended next-file loading rules Load these files only when needed: - `01-market-selection.md` → category-first and market-entry questions - `02-product-selection.md` → product shortlisting and discovery - `03-competitor-analysis.md` → competitor-focused questions - `04-product-evaluation.md` → single-product or ASIN evaluation - `05-pricing-listing.md` → pricing and listing strategy - `06-daily-operations.md` → monitoring and recurring reviews - `07-expansion.md` → adjacent category or follow-on product ideas - `workflow-full-market-report.md` → complete market report generation - `workflow-product-opportunity.md` → product opportunity shortlisting workflow - `openapi-reference.md` → exact API field and filter reference --- ## Final guidance This skill is strongest when used for research, evaluation, and decision support. It is not a seller ERP or execution engine. Use it to answer questions such as: - What market should I enter? - What products should I test? - Who are the real competitors? - What are the price bands and positioning gaps? - What is weak about a specific ASIN? - What report should I generate for a seller or team?
