Temu Shein Selector

Temu, SHEIN, AliExpress, and TikTok product selection big data analysis agent. Identify trending products, analyze competition, estimate demand, and find sou...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only product-research assistant and its requests (no installs, no credentials) are consistent with that purpose; nothing in the manifest indicates covert or disproportionate access.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description claim product-selection and trend analysis across marketplaces. The skill requires no credentials, no installs, and only provides methodology and command-like invocations — these are proportionate to a research/analysis assistant. No requested resources appear unrelated to the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to score/compare products and asks the user to provide trending/sales/price data. It does not instruct reading system files or pulling secrets. One caveat: the document declares 'allowed-tools: Bash', which gives the agent the ability to run shell commands (e.g., to fetch web data or run scrapers). That capability is not required by the prose itself (it expects pasted data) but could reasonably be used for web queries — keep in mind this broad tool access could lead to network requests if enabled.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). This is the lowest install risk: nothing is written to disk and no external packages are pulled.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths. The types of data it asks for (product listings, sales, price estimates) are user-supplied and do not require secrets — proportional to the stated function.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; model invocation is allowed (the platform default). The skill does not request permanent presence or system-wide config changes. No privilege escalation indicators in the manifest.

Assessment

This skill is instruction-only and internally consistent with product research. Before installing, consider: (1) if you enable the agent's Bash/shell capability, it may run arbitrary shell commands or fetch data from the web — only enable that if you trust the agent runtime and network policies; (2) never paste secrets, API keys, or private merchant data into the skill prompts; (3) if you expect the skill to fetch live marketplace data, prefer sandboxed/network-restricted environments or explicit allowlists; (4) review any generated sourcing recommendations before acting (pricing, supplier reliability, and legal/regulatory checks still require human verification).

What Data to Provide

• Platform and category — which platform and what type of product
• Trending data — paste Temu/SHEIN/TikTok trending product listings
• Sales data — units sold, reviews, orders shown on listing
• Price data — selling price and estimated cost from Alibaba
• Competition data — number of similar sellers, listing quality

Product Selection Framework

Temu Product Selection

Temu business model specifics:

• Seller provides cost price; Temu sets final price
• Margin = (Temu settlement price) - (your cost) - (shipping)
• Temu promotes heavily discounted items → need low COGS
• Quality standard enforcement — defect rate must stay <2%

Temu winning product criteria:

[ ] Alibaba cost price <$2 for sub-$10 Temu item (>50% margin)
[ ] Product weight <200g (shipping cost critical)
[ ] Not restricted category (no food, meds, hazmat)
[ ] Strong visual appeal (drives Temu browse behavior)
[ ] Unique or trending design (not commodity)
[ ] High order count on similar items (>500 orders = validated)
[ ] Manageable defect risk (simple product = low defect rate)

Temu category opportunities:

High opportunity: Home decor, phone accessories, jewelry, pet products
Medium opportunity: Clothing basics, kitchen gadgets, toy novelties
Avoid: Electronics (high defect/return), perishables, fragile items

SHEIN Product Selection

SHEIN model: Fast fashion, 2-week trend cycles

• New styles added daily — trend speed is extreme
• Small batch production (50-100 units) acceptable
• Quality threshold: acceptable for fast fashion price point

SHEIN winning product signals:

[ ] Fashion-forward design (1-2 weeks ahead of mainstream)
[ ] Price point: $5-$25 sweet spot
[ ] Minimum 4 sizes (S/M/L/XL)
[ ] Photogenic — strong visual on model
[ ] Trending color/print for the season
[ ] Similar items already selling on SHEIN (validation)
[ ] Sourceable quickly (2-4 week turnaround)

Trend identification for SHEIN:

• Monitor TikTok fashion hashtags (#OOTD, #fashiontrend)
• Check Pinterest trending boards weekly
• Analyze SHEIN "New In" and "Trending" sections
• Use Google Trends for fashion terms

AliExpress Product Selection

AliExpress modes:

• Dropshipping: sell first, ship directly from supplier
• Wholesale: buy inventory, ship yourself
• Hybrid: test with dropship, transition to stock

AliExpress opportunity signals:

Monthly orders >500:  Validated demand
Price margin >60%:    Viable for dropshipping
Seller rating >95%:   Reliable supplier
Shipping time <15d:   Acceptable for most buyers
Reviews >100:         Product quality validated
Rising trend:         Look for 20%+ order growth over 3 months

Finding trending AliExpress products:

1. Sort by "Orders" in category — find high-velocity items
2. Filter by "Ship from overseas" for faster delivery
3. Compare with Temu listings — if on Temu already at lower price, competition may be hard
4. Check launch date — recent listings with high orders = catching a trend

TikTok Shop Product Selection

TikTok virality requirements:

• Product must be demonstrable in 15-60 seconds
• "Before/after" or "transformation" products perform best
• Visual impact critical (color, size reveal, satisfying mechanism)
• Relatable problem → satisfying solution format

TikTok winning product formula:

TREND × DEMO POTENTIAL × PRICE POINT = Viral Score

Trend:           Is it already viral? Google Trends rising?
Demo Potential:  Can you show compelling results in <30 seconds?
Price Point:     $10-$40 impulse buy range

TikTok product categories with high viral rates:

• Beauty gadgets (face massagers, skin tools)
• Kitchen novelties (unique tools, organizers)
• Cleaning products (satisfying demo)
• Fitness accessories (visible results)
• Home organization (before/after)
• Fashion accessories (quick styling tips)

Cross-Platform Scoring Matrix

Score any product 1-5 on 6 dimensions:

1. Trend momentum (growing fast = 5, declining = 1)
2. Competition density (low competition = 5, saturated = 1)
3. Margin potential (>60% margin = 5, <20% = 1)
4. Sourcing ease (readily available = 5, custom only = 1)
5. Shipping friendliness (light/compact = 5, heavy/fragile = 1)
6. Demo/visual appeal (very photogenic = 5, boring = 1)

Total score 25+: Strong multi-platform candidate
Total score 20-24: Good for 1-2 platforms
Total score <20: Likely not worth pursuing

Sourcing Intelligence

For any trending product, sourcing approach:

Step 1: Search Alibaba with product category terms
Step 2: Filter: Trade Assurance + >2 years in business + >4.5 rating
Step 3: Get quotes from 5+ suppliers
Step 4: Request samples before ordering (never skip)
Step 5: Negotiate: first order small (100-500 units), grow from there

Target sourcing cost: <25% of final selling price for Amazon
                      <40% of Temu settlement price
                      <30% of SHEIN wholesale price
