SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It keeps startup context minimal by acting as a lightweight index that points to specialized ecommerce skills stored in a hidden vault instead of loading them all upfront. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Lists the available ecommerce skills, such as buywhere-product-catalog for product search, price comparison, and deal discovery. - On-Demand Loading: Instructs the agent to read the matching skill's SKILL.md from the vault path before performing any ecommerce task. - Use Case: When asked to compare prices or find deals in an AI shopping agent, the agent consults this pointer, locates the buywhere-product-catalog skill in the vault, and follows its instructions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help with an ecommerce task such as finding product deals, and it will load the matching skill from the vault.

Frequently Asked Questions about ecommerce-category-pointer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add product search to an AI shopping agent?▼

Load the buywhere-product-catalog skill from the vault at ~/.config/opencode/skill-libraries/ecommerce and follow its SKILL.md instructions. It uses BuyWhere's MCP and API surfaces for product search, price comparison, and deal discovery.

What is a pointer skill in an agent skill library?▼

A pointer skill is a minimal index that lists available specialized skills without loading their full instructions. It keeps startup context small and directs the agent to read the full SKILL.md from a vault only when needed.

Where are the ecommerce skills stored?▼

The specialized ecommerce skills are stored in the vault at /home/kienct/.config/opencode/skill-libraries/ecommerce. Each skill has its own subdirectory containing a SKILL.md file with operational instructions.

Why does the agent not answer ecommerce questions directly?▼

The pointer skill intentionally contains no ecommerce logic itself. The agent must first read the matching skill's SKILL.md from the vault to get accurate, up-to-date instructions rather than guessing best practices.
