What it does

Amazon Competitor Analyzer is an agent skill from browser-act/skills. Scrapes Amazon product data from ASINs using browseract.com automation API and performs surgical competitive analysis. Compares specifications, pricing, review quality, and visual strategies to identify competitor moats and vulnerabilities.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `amazon_competitor_analyzer.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping, Competitor analysis and E-commerce operations. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation CLI built for AI agents. Break through anti-bot walls, hand off to humans across platforms when stuck. Parallel multi-task execution, independent multi-session… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web scraping
  • Tasks that involve Competitor analysis
  • Tasks that involve E-commerce operations

Example prompts

  • “Use the amazon-competitor-analyzer skill to scrape Amazon product data from ASINs using browseract.com automation API and performs surgical…”
  • “/amazon-competitor-analyzer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in BROWSERACT_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. ASIN Data Collection: Extract product title, price, rating, review count, images
  2. Specification Extraction: Deep extraction of technical specs, features, and materials
  3. Review Quality Analysis: Analyze review patterns, keywords, and sentiment
  4. Multi-Dimensional Comparison: Side-by-side comparison of key metrics
  5. Moat Identification: Identify core competitive advantages and barriers
  6. Vulnerability Discovery: Find competitor weaknesses and market opportunities

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11c057b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • browseract.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BROWSERACT_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Amazon Competitor Analyzer loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
