## What it does

The skill hands your assistant a working framework for Etsy product photos. It looks at how your shop is set up now, points out what can be improved, and returns recommendations tied to Etsy practices plus a step-by-step plan. Tool and strategy comparisons come with pros and cons, so the trade-offs are visible.

Output covers a current-state assessment, action items ranked from quick wins to long-term work, tool and strategy picks, an implementation timeline and KPIs to track. The skill is marked beta — it is guidance and frameworks, not ready-made editing presets.

There is no Etsy API integration, so it will not pull numbers from your shop. Recommendations rest on general best practices, which means you should check them against your own shop data before acting. Install runs through `npx skills add`; GitHub Copilot uses `gh skill install`.
