Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Validate is where solo builders narrow choices—tools, hardware, services, and vendors—before spending time or money on the wrong stack. Scope fits structured comparison and preference tradeoffs (budget, specs, seller quality) rather than building checkout code.
How it compares
Use instead of ad-hoc tab hoarding when you want structured multi-source product research—not a payment integration skill.

During Validate when scoping tools, hardware, or subscriptions; when comparing SKUs and reviews before you buy; or when you explicitly want cart-ready steps with an authenticated browser profile.

# Firecrawl Shop Use this to research products and recommend a purchase option. Only add items to a cart when the user explicitly asks and has an authenticated browser profile available. ## Onboarding Interview Infer the product, budget, preferences, sites, and desired stopping point from context. If the product is clear, proceed immediately. Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the product, hard budget/preferences, or whether cart actions are allowed. ## Firecrawl Collection Plan Use Firecrawl search and scrape to compare reviews, product pages, specifications, pricing, Reddit/forums, and trusted review sites. Use Firecrawl browser for shopping-site navigation and cart actions when authorized. ## Process 1. Research product options across multiple sources. 2. Compare price, specs, reviews, seller quality, shipping, and fit to preferences. 3. Pick the best option and explain why. 4. If the user asked for cart actions, open the shopping site in browser, add the item, and stop before checkout unless explicitly instructed. ## Final Deliverable ```markdown # Shopping Research: [Product] ## Recommendation [Best option and why] ## Products Compared [Product, price, seller, key specs, pros/cons] ## Review Signals [Patterns from reviews and external sources] ## Cart Status [Only if requested: item added, price, seller, confirmation] ## Sources [URLs used] ## Rerun Inputs workflow: firecrawl-shop query: [product] budget: [budget] sites: [preferred sites] ``` ## Quality Bar - Be specific with model numbers, prices, and sellers. - Do not purchase or check out without explicit approval. - Note affiliate, sponsored, or unreliable sources when visible.
