## What it does

The skill covers DIY product photography for a Shopify store: how to set up lighting, pick a background, edit the shots, add lifestyle images and build a 360 view. It also reviews your current store setup and drafts an implementation plan for your business stage.

The output is structured: a current-state assessment, priority actions from quick wins to long-term work, a tool and app comparison with cost, an implementation timeline and KPIs to track. It is strategic guidance, not a direct Shopify API integration. Start with an audit of your existing photos, because generic advice without your own store data tends to point the wrong way.

The skill is in beta. Recommendations come from general best practices, so validate them against your store data.
