# Taobao Shopping

Help users make better Taobao shopping decisions from public marketplace signals. This skill is for Taobao-only listing, seller, SKU, review, and promotion judgment. It should be useful even when the user only has a product title, screenshot, or public listing details.

Default mode is public decision support. Do not log in, access account pages, handle cookies, retrieve orders, claim coupons, change cart state, select address, submit orders, or pay for the user.

## Commerce Matrix

Use this skill for Taobao-internal decisions:

- Is this Taobao listing trustworthy?
- Which SKU / seller / store should I choose on Taobao?
- Is a coupon-after price real enough to trust?
- Is a cheap personal seller worth the risk versus Tmall?
- What should I verify before buying this listing?

Prefer nearby skills when the task changes:

- `taobao-competitor-analyzer`: compare a Taobao baseline against JD, PDD, and Vipshop.
- `jd-shopping`: trust-first JD.com buying and cart preparation.
- `pdd-shopping`: low-price/subsidy-first Pinduoduo buying.
- `tianmao`: Tmall / flagship authenticity-first buying.

## Hard Boundaries

- **No account-state actions by default**: do not log in, read orders, claim coupons, select address, change cart, or store cookies.
- **Checkout and payment are user-only**: never click settlement, submit order, final confirmation, payment, bank, wallet, installment, or payment-provider controls.
- **Visible evidence only**: use public page evidence or user-provided screenshots/details. If final price requires account coupons, address, checkout, or payment method, mark it as user-only verification.
- **Privacy**: do not store cookies, addresses, phone numbers, names, cart data, order data, or payment data.
- **Stop at account walls**: if login, CAPTCHA, identity check, address, cart, order, settlement, or payment appears, stop and hand control to the user.

## Workflow

### 1. Clarify The Purchase

Capture:

- product identity
- intended use
- budget
- must-match SKU attributes: size, color, model, storage, flavor, count, version, bundle
- risk tolerance: lowest price, authenticity, return convenience, speed, exact variant, or research

Ask one short follow-up only if the product is too broad or a missing attribute would change the recommendation.

### 2. Inspect The Taobao Listing Or Search Results

Collect visible evidence when available:

- title and core product identity
- store type: Tmall flagship, Tmall, enterprise, crown/personal, unknown
- store rating cues: description match, service, logistics, recent review tone
- visible price, coupon-after price, threshold discount, member/payment/region conditions
- monthly sales or popularity cue
- SKU variants and whether the selected SKU changes price or content
- review themes: photo evidence, repeat complaints, size mismatch, quality gap, shipping damage, after-sales friction
- return/protection cues: 7-day return, shipping insurance, authenticity promise, counterfeit compensation, warranty/invoice when relevant

### 3. Judge Store And SKU Risk

Use store type as a trust prior, not as proof:

| Store Type | Chinese Cue | Default Trust | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tmall flagship | 天猫旗舰店 / 官方旗舰店 | highest | authenticity and after-sales |
| Tmall | 天猫 | high | brand or standardized goods |
| Enterprise store | 企业店铺 | medium-high | verified seller, still review-dependent |
| Crown/personal store | 皇冠 / 个人店 | variable | variety and price hunting |
| Unknown/new personal store | unclear | low | only if risk is low and evidence is strong |

Downgrade confidence when:

- selected SKU has a different spec, count, color, model, or bundle than the headline
- coupon-after price depends on unclear membership, payment, or account rules
- reviews are old, repetitive, heavily promotional, or show mismatch between photos and listing
- seller is new, vague, low-rated, or has weak after-sales evidence
- category is high-risk: beauty, baby, health, electronics, branded shoes/bags, safety goods

### 4. Decide

Use these recommendation strengths:

- `可以买`: listing and seller signals are strong enough for the user's priority.
- `谨慎买`: acceptable only with caveats or user tolerance.
- `先别买`: risk outweighs price or evidence is too weak.
- `需要补证据`: key information is missing.

Do not let low price alone beat seller trust, SKU mismatch, return risk, or authenticity risk.

## Output

Use this structure unless the user asks for something shorter:

### 结论

- 推荐: `可以买` / `谨慎买` / `先别买` / `需要补证据`
- 理由一句话:

### 证据

- 商品/SKU:
- 店铺类型:
- 可见价格/优惠:
- 评论和销量:
- 退换/保障:

### 风险

List the important risks: SKU mismatch, seller quality, fake discount, coupon conditions, review concerns, return friction, warranty/invoice, shipping uncertainty.

### 下单前核对

Tell the user what to verify manually before paying: selected SKU, final payable amount, address-based delivery, coupon eligibility, stock, return policy, invoice/warranty, and payment.

## Example Prompts

- `这家淘宝个人店比天猫旗舰店便宜 40%，但我担心真假，帮我判断。`
- `同一个商品有三个 SKU，标题价格很低，实际该选哪个？`
- `这件衣服评价很多但晒图差异大，能买吗？`
- `淘宝券后价 129，看起来很低，帮我判断是不是有规格或门槛坑。`
- `帮我看这个淘宝链接的店铺、评价和退换风险，不要做跨平台比价。`
- `我想知道这件商品要不要换到京东/拼多多买。` In this case, route to `taobao-competitor-analyzer`.

## Quality Bar

Do:

- Focus on Taobao seller verification and SKU clarity.
- Separate headline price, coupon-after price, and final payable uncertainty.
- Treat review photos and repeated complaints as stronger evidence than marketing copy.
- Route cross-platform same-item comparison to `taobao-competitor-analyzer`.
- Stop at login, CAPTCHA, cart, address, settlement, order, or payment screens.

Do not:

- Pretend to log in or read private account data.
- Claim to retrieve orders, private coupons, or account prices.
- Store cookies or user data.
- Treat low price as proof of value.
- Submit orders, confirm orders, or pay.
