What it does

Listing Hygiene Check is an agent skill from mrmps/classifier-dev. Sweep a marketplace or catalogue with a keyless classification API: one pass for category, one multi-label pass for prohibited, counterfeit and misstated-condition signals, one for review-abuse patterns, severity set by the calibrated confidence band, and a queue file only a person acts on. Use on "check these listings", "find counterfeits", "audit the catalogue", "are these reviews fake", or before a category goes live.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Zero-shot text classification over plain HTTP — no API key, no account. One Cloudflare Worker, a CLI, and an MCP server. https://classifier.dev. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “check these listings”
  • “find counterfeits”
  • “audit the catalogue”
  • “/listing-hygiene-check”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 629df75. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • classifier.dev

    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

Listing Hygiene Check loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Check listings and reviews for the usual abuse

classifier.dev tags text against labels you write and returns a score per label. No key. Three passes over a catalogue export give a category, a set of policy signals and a review-abuse read, each with a number. It removes nothing and messages nobody. It fills a queue.

When not to use this

  • Enforcement. Nothing here suspends a seller, delists an item or answers a trademark claim. Those need a person, usually with counsel.
  • Anything turning on the image, the invoice, the seller's history or a brand's authorised-seller list. This reads listing text only.
  • Prohibited lists (knives, supplements, safety marks) differ by market. Write the labels per market, with whoever owns policy.

Pass 1 — category, with an escape hatch

"labels": ["consumer electronics and accessories", "kitchen and home",
           "health and supplements", "knives and weapons", "none of these"]

Single label. Miscategorisation is an old listing trick, and a category that disagrees with a signal is a strong review candidate. Keep none of these: without it every listing lands in a category whatever it sells.

Pass 2 — policy signals, multi-label

A listing can break two rules at once, so ask for every label that applies.

curl -s https://classifier.dev/v1/classify \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "labels": ["counterfeit or replica of a known brand",
             "restricted or prohibited item: weapons, drugs, live animals",
             "unapproved health or medical claim",
             "condition misstated: used or refurbished sold as new",
             "pushes the buyer to contact or pay off the platform",
             "no policy problem found"],
  "instructions": "Flag every signal the listing text actually shows. Do not flag a signal that is only implied by the category.",
  "multi": true, "max_labels": 3,
  "inputs": ["Aple AirPads Pro 1:1 Original Quality, sealed box, same chip as retail. Message us on WhatsApp for bulk pricing.",
             "Cast Iron Skillet 26cm, pre-seasoned, oven safe to 260C, made in Portugal, 2.9kg"]
}'

Real output. labels holds everything at or above 0.7, most likely first; scores holds all six either way:

["pushes the buyer to contact or pay off the platform", "counterfeit or replica of a known brand"]
  counterfeit 0.79  restricted 0.01  health claim 0.03
  condition 0.21  off platform 0.93  no problem 0.22

["no policy problem found"]
  every risk score 0.03 or lower  no problem 0.72

Two labels fired on one listing: the misspelled brand and the off-platform contact are separate violations with separate remedies.

Pass 3 — review abuse, on the reviews

Reviews are their own corpus. Classify review text, max_labels: 2:

"labels": ["paid or incentivised review: free product, refund or discount for the review",
           "duplicated or templated text",
           "the seller writing as a customer",
           "solicits reviews off platform",
           "ordinary review, positive or negative"]

Measured on six real-shaped reviews: "Got this free in exchange for my honest review" scored incentivised 0.98; one offering a discount code for any review fired incentivised 0.98 and off-platform 0.96 together. A negative two-star review scored ordinary, 0.93 — say in instructions that abuse is not a bad rating, or the pass becomes a sentiment filter.

Severity from the score band

Per signal, not per listing. Each label carries its own score:

  • 0.9 and above — high severity. Queue it at the top and suppress the listing from promoted placements pending a check, which is reversible.
  • 0.5 to 0.9 — medium. Queue for review. Nothing changes for the seller.
  • Under 0.5 — log the score and move on.

Nothing is delisted, deleted or messaged by this. A person works the queue.

Clear a listing on the risk scores, not the clean label. Multi-label scores are independent, and no policy problem found has no reason to be high: clean listings came back at 0.72, 0.77 and 0.78, with every risk score at 0.04 or lower. Auto-clear when max(risk scores) < 0.5, never on the clean label.

Show full SKILL.md (178 more words)Show less

The queue file

One JSON object per line, written by your code, never by the classifier:

{"id":"L-101","category":"consumer electronics and accessories","cat_conf":1.0,
 "signals":[["off platform",0.93],["counterfeit",0.79]],"severity":"high","action":"none yet"}

Keep every score, the ones under 0.5 included. When a reviewer overturns a flag you need the number behind it to say whether the label or the threshold was wrong.

Pitfalls

  • max_labels truncates and 0.7 is the floor. Four problems return three at max_labels: 3, and a signal at 0.6 is missing from labels entirely. The scores map has everything; your medium band lives there.
  • labels can be empty. A plain chef's knife listing returned []: no risk signal reached 0.7 and neither did no policy problem found, at 0.58. Code that reads labels[0] breaks here. Read scores.
  • Multi-label results have no confidence field. Each label has its own score and the bands apply per score; reading confidence here is a KeyError.
  • Sellers adapt. Re-read the 0.5 to 0.9 band monthly: evasions appear there as near-ties before they appear as confident hits.
  • Limits per IP: 3,000 classifications a minute, 20,000 a day. Three passes over 1,000 listings is 3,000; a 429 carries Retry-After.
