Questions about zyte
What does the zyte skill do?
Zyte account work that has no Zyte MCP tool: credentials (set up, log in, get an API key, or a blocked site); deploying or pushing a project to Scrapy Cloud, and saving a job's full items, log or requests to a file (Zyte MCP results are truncated); Zyte API plan pricing (plans, tiers, discounts, commitments, free credit); how-to and docs questions about any Zyte product or account/billing, from docs.zyte.com. Scrapy Cloud jobs, recorded usage and per-website prices are Zyte MCP tools; use this skill for them only when those tools are missing, to tell the user how to connect the Zyte MCP. NOT for writing/debugging spiders locally (scrapy-extra).

Extract structured data (all available fields with values) from a page saved locally as an HTML file, optionally following a schema. Do not invoke when the user provides a URL. When invoking, pass the user's full request verbatim as args — do not pre-parse file paths and don't rephrase it.
Plan a web scrape and author a validated extraction spec — explore a detail page, discover fields, confirm the schema, then validate it with more pages, HTML-variant comparison, extracted values, and an optional browser review, and present the plan for approval.
Build a full-site or multi-page Scrapy spider to get structured data from a website, in a new project or added to an existing one. Do not use for analyzing locally saved HTML, fixing or debugging an existing spider, schema-only or existing-spec work, Scrapy Cloud operations, or advisory questions.
Read this BEFORE writing, modifying, debugging, or explaining any Scrapy or web-poet code — spiders, page objects, pipelines, settings, selectors — down to a one-line fix, or scaffolding/configuring a Scrapy project, scrapy-poet, scrapy-zyte-api, or browser rendering. These libraries moved on since your training cutoff; invoke this FIRST. NOT for building a scraper for a given site (scrape), a saved HTML file (scrape-analyze-page), or Scrapy Cloud deploy/jobs (zyte).
