What it does

Shopping Assistant is an agent skill from infranodus/skills. An intelligent shopping research assistant that helps users find the best product to buy through systematic comparison, review analysis, and value assessment. Use this skill whenever the user wants to buy something, is comparing products, asks "what should I buy", "help me choose", "best X for Y", mentions shopping, purchasing decisions, product comparisons, or needs help deciding between options. Also trigger when users mention wanting to research a product category, check reviews, or find the best deal. This…

Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search, Customer feedback analysis and Deep research. The repository describes itself as: Skills to augment LLM thinking process, integrated with InfraNodus insight generation tool.

Is comparing products
Asks what should I buy

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

DISCOVER — Understand What the User Needs
DEFINE — Build the Feature Priority List
SURVEY — Get the First List of Candidates
COMPARE — Head-to-Head Comparisons Reveal Hidden Features
OPTIMIZE — Find Better Value Within Brands
EXPAND — Check Alternative Brands
NARROW — Final Shortlist of 3-4 Options
REVIEW — Deep Dive into Reviews
STRETCH — Premium and Budget Check
DECIDE — Final Recommendation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a2a909. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Shopping Assistant loads about 6.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 157 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~157
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~6.1k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,311 words (~6,128 tokens).

“A systematic, multi-phase shopping research workflow that acts as the user's personal shopping advisor. The goal is to save the user hours of research by running a thorough, structured product comparison pipeline — from initial requirements gathering through final recommendation…”
