What it does

Safe Online Shopping is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check whether an online store or seller is legit before you pay — and pay in a way you can get your money back if it isn't. Use when asked is this website legit, is this online store a scam, should I buy from this site, or how to shop safely online. Produces a trust assessment from the store's signals (too-good pricing, contact/policy gaps, domain and review red flags), safe-payment guidance that preserves buyer protection, what to check before checkout, and what to do if you've already paid a scam site.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Sales & Support, covering E-commerce operations. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked is this website legit
  • Is this online store a scam
  • Should I buy from this site
  • How to shop safely online

Example prompts

  • “/safe-online-shopping”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Distrust the too-good price. A brand-new item far below everyone else is the classic bait — treat a wild discount as a warning, not a win.
  2. Check the trust signals. Real contact details and address, clear returns/refund and privacy policies, a domain that isn't brand-new, and…
  3. Beware manufactured urgency and odd channels. Countdown timers, "pay by bank transfer/gift card/crypto only," and DM-only or…
  4. Pay recoverably. Use a method with buyer protection (credit card or a reputable protected processor); avoid bank transfer, gift cards, and…
  5. If already paid a scam, pivot to recovery. Contact your card/bank for a chargeback/dispute, gather evidence, and report the site.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Safe Online Shopping loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Check whether an online store or seller is legit before you pay — and pay in a way you can get your money back if it isn't. Use when asked is this website legit, is this online store a scam, should I buy from this site, or how to shop safely online. Produces a trust assessment from the store's signals (too-good pricing, contact/policy gaps, domain and review red flags), safe-payment guidance that preserves buyer protection, what to check before checkout, and what to do if you've already paid a scam site.

Safe Online Shopping

Fake shops are everywhere: a slick site, an unbeatable price, and no way to get your money back once you've paid by bank transfer. This checks the store's trust signals before you buy, steers you to a payment method with buyer protection, and — if you've already paid a site that now looks wrong — switches to getting your money back.

What This Skill Produces

  • A trust assessment — the red and green flags in the store/listing (pricing, contact details, policies, domain age, reviews, urgency)
  • Pre-checkout checks — what to verify before entering card details
  • Safe-payment guidance — pay in a way that preserves chargeback/buyer protection; avoid irreversible methods
  • A verdict — proceed / proceed carefully / avoid, with why
  • Already paid? — recovery steps if the site turns out to be a scam (chargeback/dispute, report)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The store/listing — the URL or seller, and what you're buying
  • The signals — price vs. normal, contact info, reviews, how you found it (ad, search, DM)
  • Payment options — what methods they accept / you're planning to use
  • Have you paid — deciding whether to buy, or already bought
  • Any pressure — countdown timers, "only 1 left," DM-only sellers

Framework: Verify The Store, Pay Recoverably

  1. Distrust the too-good price. A brand-new item far below everyone else is the classic bait — treat a wild discount as a warning, not a win.
  2. Check the trust signals. Real contact details and address, clear returns/refund and privacy policies, a domain that isn't brand-new, and reviews that exist off the store's own site. Missing these is a red flag.
  3. Beware manufactured urgency and odd channels. Countdown timers, "pay by bank transfer/gift card/crypto only," and DM-only or social-ad-only sellers are high-risk.
  4. Pay recoverably. Use a method with buyer protection (credit card or a reputable protected processor); avoid bank transfer, gift cards, and crypto, which are effectively irreversible.
  5. If already paid a scam, pivot to recovery. Contact your card/bank for a chargeback/dispute, gather evidence, and report the site.

Output Format

Shopping check: [store/seller] · buying [item] · found via [ad/search/DM]

Trust signals

  • 🚩 Red: [too-good price · no real contact · missing policies · new domain · off-site reviews absent · urgency · transfer-only].
  • ✅ Green: [established · real contact/policies · protected payment · genuine reviews].

Before checkout: [verify contact/policies · check domain/reviews · confirm secure payment]. Pay with: [credit card / protected processor] — avoid [transfer/gift card/crypto]. Verdict: [proceed / careful / avoid] — because [x].

Already paid and it's a scam? [card chargeback/dispute · gather evidence · report the site].

Quality Checks

  • Flags too-good-to-be-true pricing as a warning
  • Checks concrete trust signals (contact, policies, domain, off-site reviews)
  • Warns on manufactured urgency and DM/transfer-only sellers
  • Steers to recoverable payment methods over irreversible ones
  • Gives a clear verdict with reasons
  • Includes recovery steps for those who already paid

Anti-Patterns

  • Trusting a slick-looking site at face value.
  • Ignoring the unrealistic price.
  • Paying by bank transfer/gift card/crypto to an unknown store.
  • Relying only on on-site reviews (which the scammer controls).
  • No recovery path for someone who already paid.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Is this website legit? The prices seem too good."
  • "I found a store through an Instagram ad — is it a scam?"
  • "Should I buy from this site? They only take bank transfer."
  • "How do I check an online seller before I pay?"
  • "I paid a site that now looks fake — can I get my money back?"
