shopping-expert
Find and compare products online (Google Shopping) and locally (stores near you). Auto-selects best products based on price, ratings, availability, and preferences. Generates shopping list with buy links and store locations. Use when asked to shop for products, find best deals, compare prices, or locate items locally. Supports budget constraints (low/medium/high or "$X"), preference filtering (brand, features, color), and dual-mode search (online + local stores).
What this skill does
# Shopping Expert
Find and compare products online and locally with smart recommendations.
## Quick Start
Find products online:
```bash
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/shop.py "coffee maker" \
--budget medium \
--max-results 5
```
Search with budget constraint:
```bash
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/shop.py "running shoes" \
--budget "$100" \
--preferences "Nike, cushioned, waterproof"
```
Find local stores:
```bash
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/shop.py "Bio Gemüse" \
--mode local \
--location "Hamburg, Germany"
```
Hybrid search (online + local):
```bash
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/shop.py "Spiegelreflexkamera" \
--mode hybrid \
--location "München, Germany" \
--budget high \
--preferences "Canon, 4K Video"
```
Search US stores:
```bash
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/shop.py "running shoes" \
--country us \
--budget "$100"
```
## Search Modes
- **online**: E-commerce sites (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) via Google Shopping
- **local**: Nearby stores via Google Places API
- **hybrid**: Both online and local results merged and ranked
- **auto**: Intelligent mode selection based on query (default)
## Parameters
- `query`: Product search query (required)
- `--mode`: Search mode (online|local|hybrid|auto, default: auto)
- `--budget`: "low/medium/high" or "€X"/"$X" amount (default: medium)
- `--location`: Location for local/hybrid searches
- `--preferences`: Comma-separated (e.g., "brand:Sony, wireless, black")
- `--max-results`: Maximum products to return (default: 5, max: 20)
- `--sort-by`: Sort order (relevance|price-low|price-high|rating)
- `--output`: text|json (default: text)
- `--country`: Country code for search (default: de). Use "us" for US, "uk" for UK, etc.
## Budget Levels
- **low**: Under €50
- **medium**: €50-€150
- **high**: Over €150
- **exact**: "€75", "€250" (or "$X" for US searches)
## Output Format
**Default (text)**: Markdown table with product details, ratings, availability, and buy links
**JSON**: Structured data with all product metadata, scores, and links
## Scoring Algorithm
Products are ranked using weighted scoring:
- **Price match (30%)**: Within budget range gets full points
- **Rating (25%)**: Higher ratings score better
- **Availability (20%)**: In stock > limited > out of stock
- **Review count (15%)**: More reviews = more trustworthy
- **Shipping/Distance (10%)**: Free shipping or nearby stores score higher
- **Preference match (bonus)**: Keywords in product description
## API Keys Required
- **SERPAPI_API_KEY**: Required for online shopping (all modes except local-only)
- **GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY**: Only required for local and hybrid modes
## Limitations
- **API limits**: SerpAPI and Google Places have usage quotas
- **Real-time data**: Prices and availability may change
- **Stock accuracy**: Online availability reflects last API update
- **Local inventory**: Store stock not guaranteed via Places API
## Error Handling
- Invalid query → Returns error with suggestions
- No results found → Relaxes filters and retries
- API failures → Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts)
- Missing API keys → Clear error message with setup instructions

rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
