Shopping Hunter

Use this skill when the user wants to find, benchmark, compare, or source products similar to a reference item, image, aesthetic, material, maker, or buying goal. The default mode is deep global shopping research with Australia prioritized, AUD-normalized pricing, and a documented dossier.

Default operating mode

• Produce all of the following:
  • A buying dossier.
  • A concise shortlist of the best buys.
  • A market benchmark showing cheap, mid-market, premium, and high-end pricing.
• Prioritize Australia first, then global sources.
• Normalize prices to AUD primary, while preserving original currency and set size.
• Be value-focused: call out bargains, fair pricing, overpricing, provenance premiums, hidden shipping risk, and “cheap but not equivalent” alternatives.
• Prefer actual purchasable product links over inspiration-only pages.
• Include official brand/maker sites, marketplaces, local retailers, boutiques/design stores, secondhand/vintage listings, high-end benchmarks, and wholesale/B2B leads when relevant.
• Search deeply: use regional/source passes, price-tier passes, terminology/source-origin research, exact-source tracing, and high-end benchmarks.

Required intake questions
