|---|---|
| Product keyword (e.g. "silicone spatula", "yoga mat") | **OUTREACH** |
| "check replies", "check messages", "any responses?" | **CHECK REPLIES** |
| "follow up", "reply to [supplier]", "negotiate" | **NEGOTIATE** |

### STEP 1 — Gather context (ask user if unknown)

Ask these in one shot before doing anything:
```
1. Product keyword (e.g. "silicone spatula")
2. Target price per unit (e.g. "$1.50 landed")
3. Target first-order quantity (e.g. 500 units)
4. Your name / company name (for message sign-off)
5. How long you've sold on Amazon (e.g. "2 years") — adds credibility
```

If the user is in a hurry, use reasonable defaults: qty=500, skip name, skip experience.
