What amazon-variation-strategy does

This skill works through the variation structure of an Amazon listing. It helps you decide whether products belong in one parent-child card or should stay separate, and what either choice does for ranking. Color and size variations are covered too.

Here is the flow. It pulls the basics from your message first: product, marketplace, current setup, goals. Then it asks one follow-up question in multiple-choice form, and shorthand answers like "1b 2c 3a" are fine. Analysis runs against the frameworks baked into the skill, and the output is a findings summary, prioritized action items and concrete next steps. Estimates built on incomplete data get flagged with ⚠️.

The skill is listed for Amazon marketplaces including US, UK, DE, CA, JP and AU. Install goes through npx skills add with an agent flag; GitHub Copilot uses gh skill install instead. Behind a proxy or a private npm mirror, set that up in your environment rather than on the install line.

What it helps with

  • decide whether products belong in one parent-child listing
  • split variations that compete with each other in search
  • work out what merging colors into one card does for ranking
  • plan the size variation structure for a product line
  • get a prioritized action list instead of generic listing advice

Example prompts for the agent

  • Help me with Amazon variation strategy for my e-commerce business
  • I have three colors of the same product — merge them as parent-child or keep them separate?
  • Review my current variation structure and tell me what to change first
