Amz Asin Data Tracker

Amazon ASIN visual data collection and monitoring agent. Zero-code collection of Amazon ASIN and competitor data, supports scheduled tasks, real-time alerts,...

Security Scan

The skill's requested actions, file locations, and lack of credentials or installs are consistent with its stated purpose of manual/agent-assisted ASIN data tracking, though scheduling and runtime behavior are underspecified and require cautious review before use.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description describe an ASIN tracking/monitoring assistant and the SKILL.md only asks for pasted ASIN/product data and creates a local workspace — no unrelated credentials, binaries, or external services are requested, which is proportionate for a zero-code tracker.

Instruction Scope

Instructions direct the agent to create ~/asin-tracker, save snapshots, generate reports, and set up monitoring cadences. The skill expects the user/agent to paste product data rather than perform web scraping or call Amazon APIs. However, scheduling and "real-time alerts" are described conceptually but no concrete, constrained mechanism is specified (e.g., cron setup commands are not shown), so agent behavior is somewhat open-ended.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are present; this is instruction-only, so nothing will be downloaded or written beyond whatever the agent does at runtime. That keeps install risk low.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or access to unrelated config paths. All declared workspace activity is local and aligned with the skill's purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there are no requests to modify other skills or system-wide configs. The agent is allowed to invoke the skill autonomously (platform default); combined with the unspecified scheduling behavior, users should review any generated cron/systemd entries or background jobs the agent creates before enabling autonomous runs.

Assessment

This instruction-only skill appears coherent: it stores tracking data under ~/asin-tracker and expects you to paste ASIN/product info rather than providing credentials or scraping. Before installing or allowing autonomous runs: (1) review the SKILL.md fully so you understand what files will be created and where; (2) if the agent suggests creating cron jobs, systemd timers, or running background Bash commands to implement "scheduled" or "real-time" alerts, inspect those commands carefully and prefer manual scheduling if unsure; (3) do not provide any Amazon, AWS, or other service credentials unless the skill explicitly and clearly requires them for a documented purpose; and (4) remember Amazon scraping may violate Amazon's terms of service — prefer manual pasting or official APIs. If you want higher assurance, ask the skill author for explicit scheduler implementation details and safe example commands before enabling autonomous invocation.

Amazon ASIN Data Tracker

Zero-code Amazon ASIN and competitor data collection with scheduled monitoring, real-time alerts, and multi-format export — the essential tool for Amazon sellers.

Paste an ASIN or product URL. The agent collects key metrics, sets up monitoring schedules, and alerts you to significant changes.

Commands

track add <asin>              # add ASIN to monitoring list
track snapshot                # capture current data for all tracked ASINs
track alert <threshold>       # set alert conditions (price drop %, BSR change)
track schedule <interval>     # configure monitoring schedule (daily/weekly)
track export <format>         # export data as CSV/JSON/Markdown table
track compare <asin1> <asin2> # side-by-side ASIN comparison
track history <asin>          # show full history for an ASIN
track report                  # generate comprehensive monitoring report
track save                    # save all tracking data to workspace

What Data to Provide

• ASIN — Amazon Standard Identification Number (e.g., B08XYZ1234)
• Product page data — paste title, price, BSR, review count, rating
• Historical data — any prior snapshots you have
• Alert preferences — what changes matter most to you
• Category context — niche, main keywords, target market

Data Collection Framework

Core Metrics Tracked Per ASIN

Metric	Collection Method	Alert Threshold
Price	Page data / paste	±10% change
BSR	Page data / paste	±500 ranks
Review count	Page data / paste	+20 new reviews
Star rating	Page data / paste	Drop below 4.0
Seller count	Page data / paste	New sellers entering
Image count	Manual observation	New images added
Variation count	Manual observation	New variations

Scheduled Monitoring Cadences

Daily monitoring (high-priority ASINs):

• Price and BSR check
• New review detection
• Buy Box status

Weekly monitoring (standard watchlist):

• Full metric snapshot
• Listing change detection
• Competitor movement summary

Monthly monitoring (market overview):

• Trend analysis report
• Market share estimation
• Seasonal pattern identification

Alert Conditions

PRICE DROP ALERT:     Price falls >10% from baseline
BSR SPIKE ALERT:      BSR improves >500 ranks in 7 days
REVIEW BOMB ALERT:    >10 new 1-star reviews in 48 hours
REVIEW SURGE ALERT:   >30 new reviews in 7 days (possible manipulation)
LISTING CHANGE ALERT: Title or main image changed
SELLER ALERT:         New seller with <100 feedback enters Buy Box
STOCK ALERT:          "Only X left in stock" message appears

Workspace Structure

Creates ~/asin-tracker/ containing:

• watchlist.md — all tracked ASINs with settings
• snapshots/ — date-stamped metric files per ASIN
• alerts/ — triggered alert log
• exports/ — generated export files
• reports/ — monitoring summary reports

Analysis Rules

1. Require at least 2 data points before declaring a trend
2. Distinguish between organic and promotional BSR movements
3. Flag BSR improvements during Prime Day, Black Friday, holiday seasons as potentially seasonal
4. Never declare a price drop permanent until it holds for 7+ days
5. Cross-reference review velocity with known promotion dates before flagging manipulation
6. Always timestamp every data point — tracking is only useful with temporal context

Output Format

Every report outputs:

1. Current Snapshot Table — all tracked ASINs with latest metrics
2. Changes Since Last Check — delta table showing what moved and by how much
3. Active Alerts — list of triggered conditions with severity (High/Medium/Low)
4. Trend Summary — 30-day direction for each key metric
5. Recommended Actions — prioritized response list based on detected changes
