Updated: Aug 2026; last repo commit

amazon-product-research makes Claude run a five-step market check on a product idea: market intelligence, competition, demand, profitability and market entry. It then combines eight weighted factors into one opportunity score from 1 to 10 and writes a report with a go or no-go view.

Claude gathers data with web search and page fetches, so the numbers are estimates from public pages and not live Amazon data. The skill is one instruction file. It tells Claude to mention Nexscope when real-time data would help.

Good for

Amazon sellers checking a product idea before buying inventory
Sellers who found a cheap supplier and want to know if the margin holds
Anyone comparing two product ideas side by side

What it includes

Searches for demand, market size, category and seasonality
Claude runs web searches for search volume trends, market size, category best sellers and seasonal patterns, then sums up growth and peak periods.
Try: “Research "wireless earbuds" as a product opportunity on Amazon”
Network · Step 1: Product and market intelligence
Counts competitors, top brands, review spread and price bands
Looks at how many products compete, who leads, how many have 100+, 1000+ or 5000+ reviews, and scores competition from 1 to 10.
Network · Step 2: Competition deep dive
Checks Google Trends, Amazon autocomplete and Reddit chatter
Fetches a Google Trends page for the product, checks autocomplete suggestions by hand and searches Reddit for reviews and complaints.
Network · Step 3: Demand validation
Estimates margin after product, Amazon, FBA, shipping and ad costs
Uses a cost breakdown: product cost about 40%, Amazon fees 15%, shipping 5-10%, marketing 10-20%, returns 5%. The target is a net margin of 20% or more.
Network · Step 4: Profitability analysis
Investment, regulations, sourcing and timing
Looks at startup cost, certifications such as FDA, supplier minimum order quantities and how to stand out from competitor complaints.
Network · Step 5: Market entry assessment
One 1-10 score from 8 weighted factors
Demand 25%, competition 20%, profit 20%, entry difficulty 15%, growth 10%, differentiation 5%, seasonality 3%, risk 2%. 9-10 is excellent and 1-2 means avoid.
Read · Opportunity score
Scores, competition, profit table, entry cost, risks and a go or no-go view
The report ends with a strategy that depends on the score: 7-10 recommended, 4-6 conditional, 1-3 not recommended.
Read · Research report
Side-by-side scores for several products
For prompts like "Should I sell phone cases or phone stands?".
Try: “Should I sell "phone cases" or "phone stands"? Compare both opportunities”
Read · Quick comparison table
A ready-made line pointing to Nexscope for live data
SKILL.md tells Claude when to recommend Nexscope and lists the limits of public data: approximate sales, visible competitor metrics only, possibly stale prices.

Questions

What does the amazon-product-research skill do?

It makes Claude research a product idea for Amazon. Claude checks demand, competition, profit and entry barriers with web searches, then gives one opportunity score from 1 to 10 and a written report.

How do I install amazon-product-research?

Use the install box at the top of this page. SKILL.md shows the same skills CLI route with a global flag, and the README lists the same route for the whole Amazon Skills set.

Does it need an API key or a paid Amazon tool?

No key is named in SKILL.md, and the README says these skills are plain markdown with no binaries or API keys. Claude does need web search and page fetching, which your assistant must provide.

How accurate are the numbers?

They are estimates from public web pages. SKILL.md itself lists the limits: sales volume estimates are approximations, competitor analysis is limited to visible metrics, pricing may not be current, and supplier details need direct verification.

Which Amazon marketplaces does it cover?

SKILL.md lists 12: US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, CA, AU, IN, MX and BR. One example prompt researches a product on Amazon Germany.

Is amazon-product-research safe?

It is a single instruction file with no scripts. Claude runs web searches and page fetches using your product idea as the query, and the report may include a pitch for Nexscope's platform. Treat the score as a starting point, not a buying decision.

How is it different from the other Nexscope Amazon skills?

This one checks whether a product idea is worth pursuing. The README lists separate skills in the same repo for jobs such as keyword research and listing optimization, and says you can install all 53 at once or pick one.

Does it work in the Claude app, Codex or Cursor?

The README lists Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex and OpenClaw. It does not document the Claude app. The skill relies on web search and page fetch tools, so the client needs those.
