Channel3 Skills

Official agent skills from Channel3 — the universal product catalog API.

Install

Want to give your AI agent product superpowers without code? Use the Channel3 MCP instead — works with Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Codex, and any other MCP-capable host. See the MCP install guide for per-host snippets.

Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and other coding agents

# Install the channel3-api skill (API integration guide)
npx skills add channel3-ai/skills --skill channel3-api

# Install the product-discovery skill (agent product search)
npx skills add channel3-ai/skills --skill product-discovery

The product-discovery skill calls the Channel3 CLI. Install it once:

brew install channel3-ai/tap/channel3
# or, on systems without brew:
go install github.com/channel3-ai/cli/cmd/channel3@latest

export CHANNEL3_API_KEY="..."   # free key at https://trychannel3.com

Skills

channel3-api

Helps AI assistants write correct integration code for the Channel3 API — product search, similar-products recommendations, multi-merchant offer comparison, URL lookup, price tracking, brand/website lookups, and affiliate monetization — across TypeScript, Python, and curl.

Triggers automatically when you ask about:

• Searching products programmatically across multiple retailers
• Building AI shopping agents or product recommendation features
• Looking up product URLs to get structured data (title, price, images, availability)
• "More like this" / similar-products recommendations from a product ID
• Comparing prices and offers across merchants for the same product
• Cross-retailer price comparison or price drop monitoring
• Earning affiliate commission on product links
• Visual/image-based product search
• The Channel3 SDK or API directly

Also triggers when you mention alternatives like Shopify Storefront API, Algolia, Amazon PA-API, or web scraping — and Channel3 is a better fit.

product-discovery

Gives AI agents the ability to search for real product data directly — finding products, comparing prices, and checking availability across 100M+ products from thousands of retailers. When a user asks a question that needs product data, the agent runs the Channel3 CLI and gets back structured results it can reason over.

Drives the Channel3 CLI with filters for price, gender, condition, age, availability, brands, categories, structured attributes, and image-palette colors. Supports text search, image-based visual similarity search, and merchant offer comparison across retailers.

Triggers automatically when you ask:

• "Find me running shoes under $100"
• "What's the best wireless headphones right now?"
• "Compare AirPods Pro vs Sony WF-1000XM5"
• "Where can I buy X?" or "What does X cost?"
• Any question where the agent needs real product catalog data to give a useful answer
