marketplace-agent update search
Use this skill when the user wants to change what marketplace-agent searches for.
Default paths
- repo: user-provided path if given; otherwise locate the clone before assuming the current directory is the repo root
- workspace:
workspaces/default relative to the repo
- config:
<workspace>/marketplace.toml
Ask for a search brief if missing
If the new search brief is missing, ask the user for it instead of requiring them to edit the copied prompt. Ask for:
- what they want to find now
- what counts as a good result
- deal-breakers: budget, condition, location, shipping/pickup, brands/models, exclusions
- country/region if it changed
- vendors/marketplaces if they changed
Steps
- Locate the repo and workspace. Do not assume Hermes was started from the repo root.
- Read the current workspace config.
- Convert the new search brief into concrete categories and queries.
- Update
marketplace.toml in the workspace only.
- Preserve existing useful vendor config unless it conflicts with the new brief.
- Do not edit tracked source files unless the user asks for new built-in provider code.
- Validate the workspace.
- Run the find workflow.
- Inspect
<workspace>/output/latest.json.
- Normalize latest output for frontend rendering:
python3 frontend/scripts/normalize_latest_json.py --input <workspace>/output/latest.json --output frontend/data/items-normalized.json
- Summarize:
- what changed in config
- configured vendors
- categories/queries
- best results
- provider failures or missing provider work
- frontend output path (
frontend/data/items-normalized.json)
Quality rules
- Prefer specific product/model queries over broad vague keywords.
- Include constraints and deal-breakers explicitly.
- Do not invent the user's preferences.
