Amazon Review Workbook#

Turn an Amazon product or review link into a two-phase delivery workbook.

This skill is designed to be portable: the scripts live inside the skill folder and do not depend on dashcamauto or any other local repo.

Quick Path#

1. If this is the first run on a machine, read references/setup.md.
2. Run a quick health check:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py doctor --url "<amazon-url>"

1. Run factual collection:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py intake --url "<amazon-url>" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output"

1. If DeepLX is configured and reachable, fill 评论中文版:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py translate --input-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_factual.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output"

1. Check coverage before deciding whether keyword expansion is worth the extra requests:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py coverage-check --url "<amazon-url>" --db-path "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_review_cache.sqlite3"

1. Build canonical tags and a lightweight tagging payload:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py taxonomy-bootstrap --input-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_translated.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py prepare-tagging --input-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_translated.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output" --canonical-tags-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/canonical_tags.json"

taxonomy-bootstrap is only for building a stable canonical vocabulary for the batch. prepare-tagging consumes the full factual or translated JSON and emits a trimmed *_tagging_input.json that contains pending rows only plus cache metadata. Do not use that trimmed file as the merge source.

1. Read references/tagging-guidelines.md, let the model fill only the pending rows in a separate labels JSON, then merge the labels back into the full base JSON and build the final workbook:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py merge-build --base-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_translated.json" --labels-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_labels.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output" --taxonomy-version "v1" --strict

Workflow#

1. Verify prerequisites#

• Confirm doctor reports a valid asin.
• Confirm chrome_debug_ready is true.
• If you plan to use translate, confirm deeplx_env_ready is true.
• If deeplx_reachable is false, do not block the workflow; let the model fill 评论中文版 during tagging.

If any of these fail, read references/setup.md before continuing.

2. Use the smallest command that fits#

• For raw review collection only: use collect
• For factual extraction plus workbook scaffolding: use intake
• For deciding whether a keyword pass is still needed: use coverage-check
• For rebuilding the tuned keyword state from historical data: use keyword-autotune
• For machine translation of 评论中文版: use translate
• For canonical tag sampling: use taxonomy-bootstrap
• For cache-aware lightweight model input: use prepare-tagging
• For writing the final labeled workbook: use merge-build

Examples:

bash

python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py collect --url "<amazon-url>" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py translate --input-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_factual.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py coverage-check --url "<amazon-url>" --db-path "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_review_cache.sqlite3"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py keyword-autotune --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output" --db-path "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_review_cache.sqlite3"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py taxonomy-bootstrap --input-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_translated.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py prepare-tagging --input-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_translated.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output" --canonical-tags-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/canonical_tags.json"
python scripts/amazon_review_workbook.py merge-build --base-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_review_rows_translated.json" --labels-json "<workspace>/amazon-review-output/amazon_<asin>_labels.json" --output-dir "<workspace>/amazon-review-output" --taxonomy-version "v1" --strict

3. Keep the workbook stable#

The factual and final workbooks always use the 14-column schema in references/output-schema.md.

Do not silently add or remove columns. If a field is unavailable from the page, leave it blank rather than inventing a value.

4. Tag rows only after grounding on the factual file#

The model should not invent from the product page alone. Ground semantic tagging on the factual JSON/workbook created by intake or translate.

Keep the two JSON shapes distinct:

• *_tagging_input.json from prepare-tagging is the cropped machine prompt payload for the model
• --base-json for merge-build must be the full factual/translated record set, not the cropped tagging payload
• --labels-json is the model's completed semantic output for the pending rows only

If translate prints translation_mode=model_fallback, fill 评论中文版 in the same tagging pass instead of waiting for DeepLX.

Use references/tagging-guidelines.md when filling:

• 评论概括
• 情感倾向
• 类别分类
• 标签
• 重点标记

The preferred fast path is:

1. taxonomy-bootstrap to build a canonical tag vocabulary for this batch
2. prepare-tagging to create a minimal pending-row payload
3. model labeling only for pending rows, written into a separate labels JSON
4. merge-build to update cache and export the final workbook from the full base JSON

Collection Defaults#

• intake and collect no longer run keyword expansion implicitly in deep mode. deep now means the 18 combo pass only.
• Run coverage-check after intake to compare current rows vs Amazon's visible reviews count before deciding to spend more requests.
• Use --keywords only when you explicitly want a keyword pass.
• Use --keywords with no values to run the built-in keyword preset for the selected --keyword-profile.
• Use --keywords foo bar baz to provide an explicit keyword list.
• Default pacing now inserts a 2.5s gap between combos/keywords to reduce rate-limit risk.
• Built-in profiles:
  • generic: universal consumer-product terms
  • electronics: universal terms + common app/setup/hardware terms
  • dashcam: electronics profile + recording/night/parking/GPS/Wi-Fi/mount terms
• Default keyword reuse policy is successful: keywords that have produced results before are skipped on later runs; recent zero-result keywords are also suppressed for 72h to avoid immediate retries.
• If you really want to brute-force rerun every keyword, use --keyword-reuse-scope none.
• A tuned state file at <output-dir>/keyword_tuning_state.json is now read automatically when present, and refreshed after keyword runs so the skill gradually reorders towards higher-yield terms.
• keyword-autotune can also ingest old keyword-run JSON reports via --report-glob to seed the tuned state from historical experiments.

Failure Boundaries#

Do not claim success if any of these is true:

• The script did not reach a real review page.
• The expected XLSX/CSV for the current phase was not generated.
• Review links, review time, or helpful votes were guessed rather than extracted.
• The model tagged rows without first grounding on the factual JSON/workbook.
• The cropped *_tagging_input.json was used as --base-json for merge-build.
• The model re-labeled rows that were already cached for the same taxonomy version.
• The workflow still claims a 13-column contract after 评论用户名 was added as a real output column.
