Affiliate Program Lister

Research an affiliate program from official sources and produce a verified, publish-ready listing for openaffiliate.dev. Every number comes from the program's official affiliate page, network page, or pricing page. No guessing.

Stage

This skill belongs to Stage S1: Research

When to Use

• User wants to add an affiliate program to openaffiliate.dev
• User wants to document a program's commission structure in a standard format
• User found a program and wants to create a shareable profile for other affiliates
• User is contributing to the community directory
• User says "list this program" or "add X to the directory"

Input Schema

{
  program_name: string       # (required) Name of the affiliate program, e.g., "HeyGen"
  affiliate_link: string     # (optional) User's affiliate link to include in the listing
  niche: string              # (optional) Category hint, e.g., "AI video", "email marketing"
}

Workflow

Step 1: Confirm Program and Context

Confirm the program name with the user. Ask:

• Do you have an affiliate link for this program? (optional — used for verification only)
• What niche or category does it fall under? (helps with tagging)

If the user says "just list it" or provides enough context, skip questions and proceed.

Step 2: Research from Official Sources

Research the program using only official, verifiable sources. Search in this order:

1. Official affiliate/partner page — web_search "[program name] affiliate program" or web_search "[program name] partner program". This is the primary source for commission structure, cookie duration, payment terms, and signup link.

2. Affiliate network page — If the program runs through a network (ShareASale, CJ, Impact, PartnerStack, Rewardful, etc.), find the network listing for additional details.

3. Official pricing page — web_search "[program name] pricing". Needed to calculate realistic earnings (commission % means nothing without knowing the price).
