Workflows
Find Verified Factories
- Build search URL with
tab=supplierparameter - Navigate to URL
- Filter by Verified Supplier if needed
- Extract supplier subdomains
- Visit supplier profiles for verification
Verify Supplier Credentials
- Navigate to supplier profile URL
- Check years in business
- Review certifications (ISO, CE, etc.)
- View factory audit reports
- Check ratings and reviews
Compare Manufacturers
- Search for suppliers in category
- Visit multiple supplier profiles
- Compare credentials and capabilities
- Shortlist potential partners
Verification Checklist
When evaluating suppliers, check:
- Years in Business: Longer history indicates stability
- Verified Supplier Badge: Alibaba-verified business
- Certifications: ISO, CE, FDA, etc.
- Factory Audit: Third-party inspection reports
- Response Rate: Communication reliability
- Transaction Level: Order history on Alibaba
Notes
- Use
tab=supplierto search for suppliers instead of products - Supplier subdomains are extracted from product page links
- Verified Suppliers have passed Alibaba's verification process
- Manufacturer type indicates factory-direct (not trading company)
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: build Alibaba search and supplier URLs (and include an attribution parameter) and guide manual verification steps. Before installing, consider: (1) the traffic_type=ags_llm parameter will be sent with every constructed URL — Alibaba will receive that attribution and your search terms, so avoid sending sensitive queries; (2) the repo includes helper scripts (packaging and release) that are safe but intended for developer use, not required for runtime; (3) the release script references clawdhub publishing — only run it if you trust the publisher and have the clawdhub CLI installed; (4) if you want to avoid the tracking parameter, review and modify the SKILL.md/scripts before use. No credentials or installs are required by the skill as provided.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: alibaba-factory-finder
Version: 2.0.0
The alibaba-factory-finder skill is designed to help an AI agent search for and verify manufacturers on Alibaba.com. The provided scripts (build_url.py, package_skill.py) and instructions (SKILL.md) are consistent with the stated purpose, using standard URL patterns and a documented tracking parameter (traffic_type=ags_llm) for attribution. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (find and verify Alibaba suppliers) align with the contents: SKILL.md shows URL patterns and verification checklist; included scripts are a small URL builder and packaging helper. There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or cloud credentials requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions limit behavior to building Alibaba URLs, navigating to supplier pages, and extracting supplier subdomains / verification data. This is within the stated purpose. Note: SKILL.md mandates adding traffic_type=ags_llm to all URLs, which means outbound requests will include an attribution/tracking parameter — expected for analytics but relevant to user privacy.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; skill is instruction-only at runtime. The repository contains only small local helper scripts (URL builder, packager, and a release script) and no downloads or extract/install steps from untrusted URLs.
Credentials
No required environment variables, credentials, or config paths are declared or referenced. The SKILL.md and scripts do not access secrets or unrelated system config.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not request persistent system-wide privileges. There is no self-modifying or cross-skill config behavior in the provided files.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install alibaba-factory-finder - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/alibaba-factory-finder - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
