Try it
Act as a shopping research agent. I need to find the best deal for [replaceable product name] in [replaceable country]. Use Claude Code to orchestrate subagents to: 1) Check review sites and Reddit for owner feedback. 2) Analyze YouTube video transcripts for detailed reviews. 3) Find current listings and calculate delivered prices. 4) Test available coupons. 5) Verify checkout availability without ordering. Before finalizing, run an audit step to ensure key checks like Amazon reviews are included. Output a structured report with delivered price, valid codes, and merchant fit. First, perform a dry run on a single item and wait for my confirmation before proceeding with full research.
