shopping-plugin

Claude Code plugin for region-specific consumer shopping — find local products, compare vendors, check availability, and generate ranked purchase recommendations against a personal spec. Distinct from the general procurement-tools plugin: this one is tuned to local retail quirks (language, VAT, regional pricing aggregators, parallel-import conventions).

Which plugin do I want?

This plugin is the place-specific half of the buying stack. It is about where you buy: how a given retailer's catalogue, language, currency, tax treatment, stock data and delivery conventions actually work.

The procurement-tools plugin is the other half. It is the marketplace-agnostic process: working out what the thing is and what it is called, writing a spec, generating the search vocabulary, judging candidates against it, and choosing.

You are doing this	Use
Finding who stocks it, at what price, in stock when	shopping
Comparing vendors for a SKU you have already settled on	shopping
Israeli retailers, Hebrew terms, Zap, ILS, parallel imports	israel-shopping
One named marketplace's search syntax and quirks	that marketplace's own plugin (amazon-us, aliexpress-israel-skills, grainger, …)
I don't know what this thing is called, or what to search for	procurement-tools → define-spec
Turning a want into a spec, then judging candidates against it	procurement-tools
Surveying a whole product category before choosing	procurement-tools → mkt-*

The two halves are designed to be installed together. Start in procurement-tools when the question is "what should I buy"; come here once it is "where do I get it".

What you get

Primitives (always available once the plugin is installed)

Generic commands (/shopping:*):

• find-product — locate a product across configured vendors, return a ranked price table
• compare-vendors — side-by-side comparison of a known SKU across stores
• check-availability — per-vendor stock and delivery-time check
• intake — turn an informal product brief into a structured spec.md
• recommend — read the workspace spec + catalog data and emit a ranked recommendation (Typst PDF)
• add-product — ingest a new catalog screenshot / listing into the workspace dataset
• catalog-to-json — extract structured product/price data from catalog screenshots
• compare — targeted comparison of specific products across all stores in scope

Israel-region commands have moved to the israel-skills plugin. Install it alongside shopping for IL-specific retail discovery (Zap, KSP/Ivory/Bug/TMS, Hebrew term resolution, ILS currency, etc.).

Marketplace plugins — moved out

Marketplace-specific research now lives in dedicated per-marketplace plugins, one repo each, versioned independently. The marketplace-plugins skill carries the roster and hands off to whichever applies:

Marketplace	Plugin
Amazon (all storefronts)	amazon
AliExpress (Israel)	aliexpress-israel-skills

Breaking change in 2.0.0: amazon-search, brand-scrub and profiles/amazon-us.json were removed from this plugin and now live in amazon-us. Install it to get them back:

/plugin install amazon

Why: Amazon changes its facet IDs on its own schedule, marketplace skills and general shopping skills were competing to match the same requests, and someone who wants Israeli retail discovery has no use for Amazon extraction contracts. Rationale in full at profiles/README.md.

Provisioning skill

• /shopping:new-workspace <name> [--variant=israel|generic] [--local-only] [--private]

Scaffolds a new shopping workspace (spec template, catalogs dir, outputs dir, region data), personalises CLAUDE.md from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and (by default) creates a public GitHub repo.

Pattern

Primitives live in the plugin → globally available from any cwd. Workspace scaffolds are provisioned as data → no .claude/ tree inside provisioned workspaces. Plugin updates never touch your workspace data.

See PLAN.md in Claude-Workspace-Reshaping-190426 for the full pattern spec this plugin follows.

Variants

• israel — full Israeli scaffold: Hebrew term resolution hints, Zap-first discovery order, VAT/Eilat pricing rules, store categories, catalog folders tuned for IL retailers (ksp/, ivory/, bug/, ali/).
• generic — region-agnostic scaffold for a future region. Start here when the target market doesn't yet have a dedicated variant; fill in retailer list + currency + tax rules under data/.

More region variants will land under template/<region>/ as the shopping plugin grows.
