It assesses shipping lead times from suppliers, identifies marketing angles across social media or paid search, and breaks down competition. Supported platforms include Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay, and BigCommerce. The workflow runs in four steps. The agent extracts goals and budget constraints from your initial prompt, then sends a single multiple-choice follow-up where you can reply in shorthand like "1b 2c 3a". In the final response, estimates based on partial data carry a ⚠️ warning, making speculative figures stand out immediately. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill dropshipping-product-research -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/dropshipping-product-research/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/dropshipping-product-research/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill dropshipping-product-research -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/dropshipping-product-research/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill dropshipping-product-research -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/dropshipping-product-research/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills dropshipping-product-research ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/dropshipping-product-research/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill dropshipping-product-research -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --path dropshipping-product-research ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/dropshipping-product-research/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill dropshipping-product-research -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/nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills/tree/HEAD/dropshipping-product-research/SKILL.md ## When to use it - evaluate product viability by weight, margin, and fragility - check supplier reliability and shipping times - identify viable marketing angles for paid ads and social media - spot high-risk items prone to frequent customer returns ## Example prompts - Help me find dropshipping products in the pet accessories niche.
