Is Vendor Add safe to copy into my own project?

Yes, under the MIT licence. It's an original — Bryan Collins (Vendors.ie pattern) published it under MIT, so attribution-plus-commercial-use is fine.

Vendor Add

Adds a new vendor to a vendor-directory site — creates the JSON data file, the detail page, the category listing, and cross-links.

Entry verified April 20, 2026

The short answer

If you run a directory site, adding a new vendor involves 6-10 coordinated edits. This skill handles all of them from one description.

When to use it

Every new vendor. Bulk imports via a CSV-to-skill pipeline.

Setup

1
Save as ~/.claude/commands/vendor.md.
2
Site-specific — configure schema + routing conventions in the skill.
3
Invoke: /vendor <vendor-name>.

Example

You: /vendor Xero Ireland
Claude: [generates vendors/xero-ireland.json + pages/xero-ireland.astro + adds to category listing + cross-links 3 related vendors]

Source & attribution

Caveats

Tightly coupled to site schema — clone-and-adapt rather than reuse as-is.
