SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing open-source building blocks for a cross-border e-commerce agent system is slow and risky: projects may be abandoned, carry restrictive licenses, or lack APIs. This Skill provides a pre-verified capability map of GitHub projects across 36 business modules, with stars, licenses, maintenance status, and A/B/C/D integration grades, so you can select components without repeating costly research. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 36-Module Capability Map: Covers ERP, OMS, inventory, procurement, CRM, customer service, email, marketing, SEO, ads, analytics, and channel connectors, each with recommended projects, stars, license, tech stack, and a one-line rationale. - License Risk Reference: A lookup table explaining MIT/Apache/BSD/LGPL/GPL/AGPL/Elastic License implications for self-hosting versus SaaS, plus a verified list of unusable or high-risk projects. - Search Discipline Rules: Star thresholds, maintenance checks, and candidate limits that prevent agents from wasting tokens on low-quality GitHub projects. - Use Case: When asked which open-source project to use for inventory management, consult the map and recommend InvenTree (MIT, official MCP) instead of re-running a full GitHub investigation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to recommend an open-source project for a specific cross-border e-commerce module such as order management or price monitoring using the capability map.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose open-source projects for a cross-border e-commerce system?

Consult the capability map's 36-module table, which lists recommended projects with stars, license, tech stack, and an A/B/C/D grade. A-grade projects like Medusa, InvenTree, and Chatwoot can be integrated directly; B-grade projects are for reference or module extraction.

What open-source e-commerce platform works best for order and product management?

Medusa (36.3k stars, MIT) is the top recommendation with official MCP support, Agent Skills, and an API-first modular design. Saleor (23.3k stars, BSD-3) is the backup option with GraphQL and multi-warehouse support.

Can I use AGPL projects like Listmonk or LibreTranslate in a SaaS product?

AGPL projects are fine for internal self-hosted use, but offering them as SaaS requires providing your complete modified source code to users. For SaaS scenarios, prefer MIT, Apache-2.0, or BSD-3 licensed alternatives listed in the map.

Which e-commerce areas have no viable open-source options?

The map identifies open-source vacuums in logistics tracking, customs/tax calculation, product selection data, keyword search volume, Amazon repricing, and multi-channel listing sync. These require commercial SaaS APIs like AfterShip or Keepa wrapped in thin MCP shells.

Why should I avoid 1688 MTOP reverse-engineering libraries?

MTOP reverse-engineering libraries violate platform terms and carry high legal risk, so they are graded D and banned from production use. The compliant path is signing up as an ISV through open.1688.com.
