## What it does

Two modes, picked by what you hand over. Give the skill an e-commerce URL and it returns a two-paragraph description plus up to 5 downloaded images that survived filtering. Give it only a photo and you get the category, how the item is used, which parts move or open, and the visual details worth keeping.

Both a URL and a photo? The URL pipeline runs, and the picture joins the reference set. Instructions live in two files: `references/url-extract.md` covers `url_extraction`, image download, filtering through `image_analysis` and the write-up; `references/photo-analysis.md` covers the photo path. Only the matching file gets read. The skill does not stop to ask for confirmation — a URL or photo plus generation intent is enough to proceed.

When extraction fails, it asks for a photo and switches modes. If every image is rejected for faces, a different variant or not being a product shot, the cleanest one stays, or the description goes through alone. Market positioning is left to the calling skill; this one sticks to objective facts. A blurry or cropped photo gets a request for a clearer shot instead of a guess about the mechanism.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill analyzing-products -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/analyzing-products/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/analyzing-products/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill analyzing-products -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/analyzing-products/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill analyzing-products -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/analyzing-products/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills analyzing-products
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/analyzing-products/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill analyzing-products -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --path skills/analyzing-products
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/analyzing-products/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill analyzing-products -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/analyzing-products/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pull a description and reference images off an Amazon or Shopify product page
- describe a product when all you have is a photograph
- filter a gallery down to clean shots, dropping faces and wrong variants
- map moving and opening parts for a product video
- prepare inputs for image and video generation

## Example prompts
- Analyze this product URL and give me a description with reference images
- Here's a photo of the product — work out the category, how it's used and which parts move
- Pull product facts from this link, and keep the photo as an extra reference

# Product Analysis

Turn a product — an e-commerce **URL** or a bare **photo** — into clean, reusable facts for downstream
image/video generation: a tight description, curated product images, and how the product is physically
used. It's a building block: other skills call it at the input stage, before any generation.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Pick the mode and run it

| Input | Reference | What you produce |
| ----- | --------- | ---------------- |
| An e-commerce URL (Amazon, Shopify, AliExpress, any product page) | `references/url-extract.md` | A two-paragraph description + up to 5 downloaded, filtered product images |
| A product photo only (no URL, no description) | `references/photo-analysis.md` | Category + how it's used + moving/opening parts + key visual details |

Read **only** the matching reference and follow it end to end. If both a URL and a photo are given, run
the URL mode (richer) and keep the photo as one more reference image; if neither is given, there's
nothing to analyze — ask for one. Don't pause for confirmation — a URL (or photo) plus generation
intent means extract and proceed.

### Step 2: Hand off

Return the result to whoever called you, ready to drop into generation:

- **URL mode** → the description and the kept image files (local paths, usable as reference images).
- **Photo mode** → the category, how it's used, any moving or opening parts, and the key visual details.

Don't rank the product's market position — the calling skill decides that from packaging cues. Your
job is the objective facts.

## Edge cases

- **The URL can't be extracted** (no result, or the extractor isn't set up) → ask for a product photo
  instead and switch to photo mode.
