Use when the user wants to audit Amazon returns or Amazon-billed subscriptions, mentions a restocking fee, short or denied refund, forgotten Prime Video Channel, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, or Prime charge, or asks whether Amazon still owes or bills them. Read order, refund, and subscription evidence first; report findings and require confirmation before chat, cancellation, or dispute. The documented cases recovered $448.31, but never promise recovery. Requires an authenticated Claude in Chrome session. NOT FOR: bank chargebacks, marketplace A-to-z seller claims, price-protection claims, or sub

Where does this skill come from?
From JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills, a repository with 165 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
