## What it does

The skill runs a step-by-step review of your checkout. It first pulls context from your message: product, platform, current situation, goals. Then it asks one follow-up question in multiple-choice form, and shorthand answers like "1b 2c 3a" are fine. Analysis follows the built-in frameworks, and the output is a findings summary, a prioritized action list, and concrete next steps. Estimates built on incomplete data get flagged with a warning marker.

Inside are checkout funnel analysis with drop-off points, cart abandonment benchmarking, payment method selection (PayPal, Apple Pay, BNPL, local methods), and the guest checkout versus account creation call. Trust signals get their own pass: security badges, guarantees, return policy. So do shipping cost and delivery time transparency, plus what happens after payment, from order confirmation to cross-sell.

The skill lists Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay and BigCommerce. On any other platform you carry the advice over by hand, so check whether the payment and trust-signal suggestions actually fit your cart before acting on them. Install runs through `npx skills add`.
