## What it does

This skill builds a production plan for a product listing on Amazon. You feed it name, category, materials, dimensions, variants, target buyer and brand references; it returns an ordered set of shots with a purpose for each, plus framing, angle, crop, lighting and props. Secondary images get text callouts and claim-review flags.

The main image is handled as a separate compliance asset: no overlays, badges or extra items. After that the skill picks a production route — DIY, AI generation, professional studio or a hybrid — and names the trade-off for each. It also warns that synthetic edits must not misrepresent the item being sold.

Node.js is required, since setup runs through `npx skills add`. Product facts come only from what you supply. When something is missing the skill asks one combined question; if you cannot answer, it keeps a labelled assumption log and avoids inventing details. Category image rules are checked in Seller Central, and without account access the compliance result is left unverified.
