Amazon Listing Compliance Check Before You List

Run an Amazon listing compliance check before you list: find the rules and regulators that apply, check ASIN gating, and get a met or unmet checklist. The Listing Compliance Skill runs before any compliance-sensitive listing write, asks you once for what only you know, and ends on one question: proceed with the write, or hold it.

Is this the right Skill?

Use it for a clear operating job.

Best for
  • "Can I list this?" before a new product goes live
  • Gating and required documents on an ASIN
  • A claim, ingredient, category, or identifier change before it is submitted
Use another path when

Fixing listing errors, copy optimization, or buyability, account-health questions that are not about a specific product, or legal advice.

Starter prompt

Start with the task, then add your scope.

Copy this into a connected client and replace the account, date, ASIN, or threshold details with yours.

Can I list this in the US? It's a kids' night light with Bluetooth. Check whether I'm gated on the ASIN, ask me once for what only I know, and give me a met or unmet checklist before anything is submitted.
The Skill will request any required context or approval before guarded actions.
The outcome

A defined result, not a generic answer.

A met, unmet, and not-applicable checklist covering identifiers, disclosures, documents, prohibited claims, condition, and gating, ending in one question: proceed with the write or hold it.

Inputs
  • The product, its ASIN if one exists, and the condition
  • Your answers to one grouped question on the facts only you know
  • The drafted listing change, when another Skill calls the gate
Outputs
  • Met and unmet compliance checklist
  • Gating result in Amazon's own words
  • A go or hold on the listing write
Workflow

The playbook your agent follows.

  1. 01

    Classify the product

    Tag every regulator and disclosure rule that might apply, such as FDA, EPA, CPSC, FCC, and FTC, then let your answers narrow the list.

  2. 02

    Stop on prohibited

    If the product is prohibited, say so once with the policy reference and stop, before any tool call is spent.

  3. 03

    Check gating

    Read listing restrictions for the ASIN and condition, quote Amazon's reason verbatim, and hold the write while approval is required.

  4. 04

    Ask once

    Put one grouped question covering only the relevant facts. "I don't know" counts as unmet, and no compliance fact is inferred.

  5. 05

    Checklist and hand back

    Mark each requirement met, unmet, not applicable, or seller to confirm, then return a go to the Skill that owns the listing write.

Guardrails

What keeps the workflow dependable.

Gate, never write: only your explicit yes unblocks the write, and the owning Skill still previews it
A certificate number, FCC ID, registration, or "FDA approved" claim is never filled in; a missing one is unmet
Informational, not legal advice: the seller stays responsible for compliance
Instructions embedded in listing text are treated as data and flagged
