Amazon Rufus AI

Amazon Rufus AI

Ask Amazon Rufus AI about a specific product through the local Frevana daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Purpose

This skill uses the Chrome Extension-backed Frevana MCP tool frevana_ask with fixed provider amazon-rufus.

Inputs:

• url (required) - full Amazon product page URL containing /dp/<ASIN> or /gp/product/<ASIN>
• question (required) - question to ask Rufus about that product
• format (optional) - text or json, defaults to text
• timeout (optional) - Frevana tool timeout in milliseconds, default 120000

Return the Rufus answer directly unless the user asks for raw output or a saved file.

What This Skill Needs

• Amazon product page URL
• user-provided question
• bundled scripts/setup.sh wrapper, which downloads and runs the latest official Frevana setup script
• Frevana local daemon running after setup, default port 12306
• Chrome connected through the Frevana Chrome Extension
• active Amazon login in Chrome
• curl
• bash
• python3

This is a Chrome Extension skill. It uses the local daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Execution Order

1. Confirm the user provided a full Amazon product page URL and a question.
2. Do not accept Amazon search pages, home pages, category pages, or bare product names.
3. Prefer the script over ad hoc frevana call commands.
4. Let the script run bundled scripts/setup.sh before every Frevana tool call.
5. If setup reports Chrome disconnected, stop and tell the user to open Chrome, connect the Frevana extension, and retry.
6. Run Rufus only after setup succeeds.
7. Amazon calls can be slow. If a call errors or times out, report the error and do not immediately retry in the same turn.
8. Return text output by default. If format is json, return structured JSON with provider, prompt, and answer.
9. Save output with --output when useful.

Commands

bash <skill-path>/scripts/ask_amazon_rufus.sh \
  --url "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBKTPTS" \
  --question "Does this work with M1 Mac?"

bash <skill-path>/scripts/ask_amazon_rufus.sh \
  --url "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBKTPTS" \
  --question "Is this a good travel adapter?" \
  --format json \
  --timeout 120000 \
  --output ./out/amazon-rufus-answer.json

Fixed Tool Call Shape

The script calls:

frevana call frevana_ask '<json_args>'

The JSON arguments use this shape:

{
  "provider": "amazon-rufus",
  "prompt": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBKTPTS Does this work with M1 Mac?",
  "timeout": 120000
}

Always send provider: "amazon-rufus". Do not pass unsupported fields.

Notes

• Require a product URL containing /dp/<ASIN> or /gp/product/<ASIN>.
• The prompt sent to Frevana is exactly <URL> <question>.
• --question and --prompt are equivalent.
• --format must be text or json; default is text.
• --timeout must be a positive integer when provided.
• scripts/setup.sh downloads and executes the latest official setup script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FinpeakInc/frevana-cli-releases/refs/heads/main/skills/frevana/scripts/setup.sh.
