What the skill teaches
A Claude skill that adds a costing step before an agent runs Apify Actors through the Apify MCP server. It converts a request into a count of items, shortlists two or three Store Actors per platform by usage, rating, freshness and fields, prices each from its own event list at the user's plan tier, runs a cheap pilot on a few inputs to measure cost per useful item, and then quotes a cost range and waits for approval before the full run. Afterwards it compares the quote with the actual cost, and it can map fields from several platforms into one table.
Capabilities
- Estimate item counts and run cost before scraping
- Shortlist and compare Actors per platform
- Run low-cost pilots on candidate Actors
- Map output fields from several platforms into one table
