## What it does

The skill runs competitor research by ASIN. It pulls current prices, Buy Box, Best Seller Rank, ratings and review counts, watches review velocity and looks for signs of ad campaigns. It covers 12 Amazon marketplaces: US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, CA, AU, IN, MX, BR.

The process is laid out in steps. `web_search` finds category products and keyword leaders, `web_fetch` captures baseline metrics for each ASIN, then a separate search digs into price history, launches and complaints in reviews. The output is a report with pricing, inventory and performance tables, a list of market opportunities and suggested alert thresholds.

No API key required, and no live push notifications either. The skill relies on public pages and search results, so it can't pull real-time pricing APIs or historical BSR, and the alerts it suggests are thresholds for you to check, not automatic triggers. For real notifications you'd need the author's paid service.
