skill-dropship-product-pipeline v1.0.0

Full end-to-end dropship product lifecycle — from CJ Dropshipping search to a live WooCommerce listing with an AI-generated hero image.

Pipeline Steps

1. CJ Sourcing — Keyword search or direct product ID. Margin check (min 40%). Variant extraction.
2. Hero Image — Flux Kontext Dev (fal-ai/flux-kontext/dev) using the real CJ product photo as reference. Lifestyle background, product in active use, warm mood, 1:1 square.
3. WooCommerce Publish — Upload hero + gallery images, create product, set price/SKU.
4. CJ Mapping — Add product to your cj-supplier-selection.json for auto-fulfillment via skill-dropshipping-fulfillment.

> Pipeline ends at WooCommerce publish. Video creation is a separate step — use skill-tiktok-video-pipeline.

Usage

# Source by keyword — finds best margin product
