## What it does

This skill structures price monitoring workflows for online marketplaces and platforms, including Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay, and BigCommerce. It provides methodologies to spot price wars, analyze promotional patterns by discount depth and timing, and configure MAP violation tracking.

The workflow follows four stages. The agent collects your product and marketplace details, then asks a single follow-up message with multiple-choice questions. You can reply using short codes such as "1b 2c 3a". The skill processes the inputs and delivers an action list with benchmarks and priorities.

When data is incomplete, the output marks estimates with a ⚠️ warning symbol. That signals where you need manual checks before updating your pricing rules.
