Vendor Verify

Verifies a vendor's data against their actual website — pricing, features, contact details.

Entry verified April 20, 2026

The short answer

Directory data rots faster than almost any content. This skill picks a vendor, fetches their site, compares against your stored data, and flags discrepancies.

When to use it

Quarterly on your top-50 vendors. Before publishing 'top-10' listicles.

Setup

  1. 1

    Save as ~/.claude/commands/verify.md.

  2. 2

    Web fetch tool required.

  3. 3

    Invoke: /verify <vendor-slug>.

Example

You: /verify xero-ireland
Claude: 2 drifts. Stored starter price €12/mo; live shows €14/mo (vendor raised April 2026). Features list identical.
