affiliate-check: Live Affiliate Program Data

Query affiliate program data from list.affitor.com in real-time. Persistent daemon with in-memory cache — first call auto-starts the server, every subsequent call is instant.

SETUP (run this check BEFORE any affiliate-check command)

Before using any command, find the skill and check if the binary exists:

# Check project-level first, then user-level
if test -x .claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check; then
  A=.claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check
elif test -x ~/.claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check; then
  A=~/.claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi

Set A to whichever path exists and use it for all commands.

If NEEDS_SETUP:

1. Tell the user: "affiliate-check needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?"
2. If approved, run: cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup
3. If bun is not installed: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
