🆕 What's New (August 4, 2026)

• 🔄 Closed-Loop Product Selection Workflow — The flagship end-to-end pipeline. Covers product discovery → supply chain → financial analysis → risk assessment → 7-member independent AI Seller Review Panel → Go/No-Go deliverable → post-launch monitoring. Dual-path (HPI Product-First + Market-First with auto-routing). 6 business models, 7 platform adapters. One command: /goal /sorftime-seller-agent Execute Closed-Loop Product Selection for yoga mats on Amazon US. Seller: beginner, $10000, private-label. Wiki · Case Study
• 🤖 7-Member Independent Seller Review Panel — GO/CAUTION/NO-GO verdicts are no longer algorithmic thresholds. 7 independent AI sub-agents, each role-playing a different seller perspective (Peer, Mentor, Conservative, Opportunity, Platform Specialist, Financial Auditor), vote on every product with weighted scoring. Platform Specialist and Financial Auditor hold veto power. Panel may override algorithm. Validated: 20 rounds, 82.7% avg adoption.
• 💾 Data Persistence — Every phase auto-saves to ${SORFTIME_OUTPUT_DIR}. 9 files per run: raw API data, P&L calculations, panel votes, self-contained Markdown deliverable, copy-paste-ready monitoring command. Cross-platform.
• 📊 product_traffic_terms field trap documented — The exposure_position field ("Organic"/"Ad"/"Ad,Organic") is the correct way to assess organic traffic. The non-existent organic_searched_percentage field returns false zeros. Now hard-coded into the skill's gotchas.

🤔 Why This Exists

Amazon sellers spend $29–$229/month on marketplace research tools. You log into dashboards, click through menus, export CSV files, then manually analyze in spreadsheets.

Worse — most tools only show you what you ask for. Filter by minimum reviews, filter by minimum price, sort by sales. A product with 13 reviews, 106 units/month, healthy margins, and zero ad competition gets filtered out before you ever see it. That's the product you should be looking at.

Sorftime Seller Agent replaces that workflow with conversation — and finds the products other tools hide from you.

Before: Log in → navigate → click → export → analyze manually  (15–30 min)
After:  "Find blue ocean yoga mat products on Amazon US" → results in 20 seconds

🤖 Agent-Friendly by Design

Not a Claude Code plugin. Not an API wrapper. A self-contained MCP bridge + intelligence layer that any MCP-compatible AI agent can load and use immediately.

Agent / IDE	Setup
Claude Code	Auto-detected by mcporter, one-command install — under 3 min
Codex (OpenAI)	Import as MCP server — under 5 min
Cursor	MCP config auto-generated by install.py — under 3 min
OpenClaw	Native skill directory support — under 3 min
Hermes / Pi / any MCP agent	Standard tools/list → tools/call protocol — under 5 min

What makes it agent-agnostic:

• MCP-first architecture — 86 tools, auto-synced with Sorftime server. Pure MCP protocol.
• Zero agent-specific code — No Claude-only prompts. No Cursor-only config.
• Auto-detection — install.py detects your environment and outputs the right config snippet.
• Self-contained — Ships with its own Python venv, bridge, cache, and schema store. Python 3.10+ is the only dependency.
• Bilingual — English and Chinese input, auto-routed to the right analysis pipeline.

💬 Example Conversations

Hidden Profit Index (Sorftime exclusive ⭐)

You: "Show me products quietly making money on Amazon US — the ones other tools miss."

Agent: [potential_product — Hidden Profit Index scan] "Found a non-slip yoga mat: $29.99, 4.6 stars, only 13 reviews, 106 units/month. Near-zero ad competition. Price stable, category rank climbing. Every other tool filters this out because 'reviews < 50.' Hidden Profit Index: 13.44 — top of the category. Low barriers, healthy margins, real demand. The kind of product most sellers never see."

Amazon product discovery (blue ocean)

You: "Find blue ocean products in kitchen storage on Amazon US. Beginner seller, $5K budget."

Agent: [category scan + competition filter] "5 opportunities with low brand concentration, <500 reviews on top listings, healthy margins. #1: Under-sink organizers — 15K monthly searches, only 3 competitors with >100 reviews, estimated margin 35–42%."

Amazon competitor deep-dive (reverse ASIN)

You: "Reverse ASIN B08N5WRWNW — traffic keywords, pricing strategy, sales trend."

Agent: [ProductDetail + TrafficTerms + CompetitorKeywords] "Gaiam Yoga Block — 40K monthly sales, 4.7 stars, $18.99. Top traffic keywords: 'yoga block' (52K), 'yoga blocks 2 pack' (28K), 'cork yoga block' (15K). FBA fee: $12.82. Top competitor ASINs: B07XJ5YV8G, B09XMQ5J8W."

Amazon FBA profitability

You: "Sourcing yoga mats at $8.50. Selling at $29.99, 1.2lb. Worth it on Amazon FBA?"

Agent: [FBA fee estimation + profit calculation] "Gross margin: 38%. Break-even: 9 units/day. Return rate sensitivity: profit stays positive up to 12% returns. Verdict: viable — proceed."

Amazon keyword research

You: "Keyword strategy for a new yoga mat listing on Amazon US."

Agent: [KeywordDetail + KeywordExtends + KeywordSearchResults] "Top opportunities: 'extra thick yoga mat' (147K searches, low competition), 'non slip yoga mat' (98K), 'yoga mat with strap' (52K). Avoid 'yoga mat' (1.4M, saturated — Amazon Basics + Gaiam dominate)."

Shopee category market analysis

You: "Shopee Malaysia phone case market — Top 20 products, pricing bands, shop types."

Agent: [shopee_category_request] "20 products, RM2.38–RM102.37. Ugreen Flagship Store leads with 3.5K monthly sales at RM13.90. 13 brands, all regular shops (no flagship in Top 20). 9/20 products under RM5 — low-end dominates."

Cross-platform arbitrage (Walmart vs Amazon)

You: "Find products selling 30%+ higher on Walmart than Amazon US."

Agent: [Cross-platform gap scan] "3 products with significant gaps. 'Premium Yoga Block Set' — $34.99 Walmart vs $24.99 Amazon (40% premium). Only 3 Walmart sellers vs 12 on Amazon — low competition entry point."

🔧 Maintenance

Dependencies

This skill requires MCP SDK 1.x (not 2.x — breaking changes). The requirements.txt locks to mcp>=1.0.0,<2.0.0.

# If you hit "MCP 2.x is not yet supported" or AttributeError on startup:
python3 scripts/install.py --upgrade

# This force-reinstalls all dependencies at the correct versions.

Updating

git pull                        # Pull latest skill updates
python3 scripts/install.py      # Rebuild venv (if deps changed)
python3 scripts/healthcheck.py  # Verify everything works

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Solution
AttributeError: 'Server' object has no attribute...	python3 scripts/install.py --upgrade
MCP 2.x is not yet supported	python3 scripts/install.py --upgrade
ModuleNotFoundError: mcp	Run python3 scripts/install.py
Connection test fails	Check MCP Key, network, firewall
