Product Catalog Canonicalization Agent
Use-case foundation agent that produces the canonical product catalog every retail-persona surface agent consumes.
Hire the foundation agent that owns your canonical product catalog. Reads from PIM, POS, ERP, commerce, and marketplace systems; resolves price / attribute / stock conflicts through source-priority + freshness-tiebreak policy; enforces per-vertical schema validation for regulated retail; emits change-events downstream agents subscribe to; and maintains versioned product history for audit defense. Closes the retail-persona foundation layer alongside the universal triad.

Two paths to running this agent
Self-host with the free deployment guide and run your own instance, or rent the hosted agent and skip the build entirely. The skill library is the same either way — the rental ships with hosting, maintenance, and context-tuning included.

DFY — rental
Rent the hosted agent
We host the runtime, maintain the skill library, and tune the agent to your context at onboarding. You pay a monthly fee. No bespoke customization — new skills go through the shared backlog.

What this agent owns
The canonical product catalog across every operator source system — PIM (Salsify / Productsup / Akeneo / inriver), POS (Square / Toast / Lightspeed / Clover / Shopify POS), ERP (NetSuite / QuickBooks Enterprise / Sage Intacct), commerce (Shopify / BigCommerce / Magento / WooCommerce), and marketplaces (Amazon Vendor Central / Walmart Connect / Target Plus / eBay / Instacart). Emits change-events to product-description + inventory-aware-marketing, and retains versioned history for 7-year regulated-retail audit defense.
Install it where your team already works
The agent listens for inbound requests from any of these surfaces and acts inside its skill boundary.

Example asks
- "@catalog reconcile SKU A123 — Amazon says one price, PIM says another" (Slack)
- Webhook from Shopify / Amazon SP-API / Salsify on catalog change
- Hourly scheduled sweep for sources without webhook support
- Downstream agent request from product-description or inventory-aware-marketing when a conflict is detected at publish time
Skill library
Every skill in the rental package. Status reflects current development state — early-adopter subscribers influence which backlog skills move into development next.
In development

Multi-source catalog ingest
Ingests product state from PIM, POS, ERP, commerce, and marketplace systems through native adapters with per-source freshness tracking.
- In development

Resolves cross-system disagreements via source-priority ranking + freshness-tiebreak + per-vertical-schema-validation routing.
- In development
Per-vertical schema validation
Validates alcohol ABV labeling, supplement claims, cannabis dosage, and financial-services disclosures before any canonical SKU is emitted.
- In development
Downstream change-event emission
Emits SKU change-events to product-description-orchestration + inventory-aware-marketing via webhook + REST.
- In development
Versioned product history
Retains 7-year versioned product state for regulator audit defense + rollback (alcohol commissions, cannabis regulators, FDA supplements).
- In development
Per-vertical compliance overlay enforcement
Loads HIPAA / FTC ad-substantiation / state cannabis / financial-services overlays at runtime and gates every output through the relevant rule set.

Backlog — subscribers prioritize one at a time
These skills are mapped from the 248-loop SKU research backlog. We build one at a time, in sequence, with active subscribers voting on which goes next. One skill per quarter is included in the base rental; subscribers can request more through a separate skill-accelerator add-on.
- Backlog · subscriber-prioritized
Marketplace policy validation
Detects Amazon prohibited-keyword violations, Walmart category rule breaches, and other marketplace-listing policy drift before publish.
Suggest a skill
The backlog is open-ended. If the skill you need is not on this list, propose it during onboarding or anytime through your subscriber Slack — every active subscriber gets a vote on what moves into development next.
