## What it does

The skill guides Etsy sellers through Offsite Ads decisions. It breaks down attribution rules, calculates how advertising fees squeeze product margins, and helps identify when to opt out. Output comes as a structured report with a current state assessment, an implementation timeline, and key performance indicators to track.

It runs on advisory logic without direct Etsy API integration. Because the assistant cannot pull store metrics automatically, recommendations depend on the numbers you paste into the chat. You must verify every fee calculation against your actual seller dashboard before making listing changes.
