Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00026 | $0.02472 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01236 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00494 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00247 |
Grade B, and why
bot-protection scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Bot Protection
Overview
Commerce stores face three major bot threats: scrapers that harvest pricing and inventory data for competitors, scalper bots that buy limited-inventory items instantly, and credential-stuffing bots that test stolen usernames and passwords. Effective bot protection layers platform-level defenses, a WAF (Web Application Firewall), CAPTCHA for high-risk actions, and optional behavioral analysis. For most merchants, Cloudflare provides the most effective and lowest-friction protection — it sits in front of your store regardless of platform.
When to Use This Skill
- When launching limited-edition products prone to scalping (sneakers, concert tickets, gaming consoles)
- When competitors are systematically scraping your product prices or inventory levels
- When account login pages show signs of credential stuffing (high failure rates from distributed IPs)
- When checkout funnel analytics show suspiciously fast completion times (sub-5-second checkout)
- When your infrastructure is overwhelmed by bot traffic consuming catalog API resources
Core Instructions
Step 1: Determine the merchant's platform and choose the right tool
| Platform | Built-in Bot Protection | Recommended Additional Layer |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | Shopify includes basic bot detection and rate limiting | Enable Cloudflare (free plan) in front of your Shopify store for WAF rules and bot management |
| WooCommerce | None built in — the login and checkout forms are fully exposed | Wordfence (free) for login protection; Cloudflare for WAF and rate limiting |
| BigCommerce | Basic DDoS protection included | Cloudflare for advanced bot management; BigCommerce supports custom scripts for CAPTCHA |
| High-traffic drops (any platform) | None | Cloudflare Waiting Room (Business/Enterprise) or Queue-it for managed queue |
| Custom / Headless | Must build | Cloudflare + custom rate limiting + behavioral analysis |

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bot-protection is a skill published in the GitHub repository finsilabs/awesome-ecommerce-skills (52 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 2,472 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (sends data to an external url). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
