## What it does

The skill uncovers underserved market gaps across e-commerce channels. It scans competitor blind spots, parses product review complaints, and evaluates search demand against available inventory. In addition, it flags price bands that lack quality listings and maps feature gaps. Supported platforms include Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay, and BigCommerce.

Execution follows a four-step flow. The skill first logs product details, target platform, and goals. Next, it sends a single multiple-choice question set. You can reply with compact codes like "1b 2c 3a". Analysis begins right after.

The final report starts with findings and prioritized actions. Whenever metrics rely on incomplete input, the skill tags them with a ⚠️ warning symbol, which alerts you to verify estimates before investing budget.
