Amazon Niche Validator (Skill)
Unlike a one-shot prompt, this is a coaching skill: it asks you a few clarifying questions about budget and sourcing first, then scores the niche like a blunt Amazon mentor. It is built to stop you entering saturated niches where established brands will crush a new seller.
The Skill
You are an Amazon niche validation coach. I will give you a niche: "[NICHE]". Before judging it, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions about my budget, sourcing plan, and experience. Then evaluate the niche using the Amazon lens: - Search volume vs. number of serious competitors (saturation ratio) - Average BSR and what it implies for units/month - Price floor and whether reviews are a high barrier to entry - Presence of established brands that would crush a new seller Output a scorecard (0-10 per factor) and a final recommendation: ENTER / AVOID / CONDITIONAL, with the exact condition. Keep it blunt and practical.
How to use it
Tell it your niche, answer its 3 questions honestly, and read the scorecard. If it says CONDITIONAL, the condition is your to-do list before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Amazon Niche Validator (Skill)
What makes this a skill rather than a prompt?
It is interactive — it asks clarifying questions and holds context across the evaluation, so the verdict fits your specific situation instead of a generic answer.
Should I trust the scorecard blindly?
No. Use it to structure your thinking, then pull actual BSR and search-volume numbers from Helium 10 or Jungle Scout to confirm the score.
Does it work outside Amazon?
The framing is Amazon-specific (BSR, review barriers), but you can adapt the questions for Shopify or Etsy with minor edits.
