Find affiliate programs in the OpenAffiliate registry, then confirm every term on the brand's own page and report each one with a verbatim quote and its source URL. Use this skill when the user wants affiliate terms they can rely on: before signing up, before publishing a review or comparison, when a listing looks outdated, or when two sources disagree. Also trigger for: "verify this affiliate program", "is X's affiliate commission still 30%", "what's the cookie length for X…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Find and Verify Affiliate Program

Find candidate programs in [OpenAffiliate](https://openaffiliate.dev/?utm_source=affiliate-skills),
an open registry of affiliate programs, then check each term on the brand's own page.
Every term in the report carries a verbatim quote and a URL, or is marked as not published.
The registry tells you where to look. The brand's page is what you cite.

This is the canonical discovery, comparison and verification workflow. The old
`affiliate-program-search` name is a compatibility pointer for one release.
Compare candidates against the user's niche, audience, content channel and commission
preference; explain fit and trade-offs using observed evidence, not invented scores.

## Stage

This skill belongs to Stage S1: Research

## When to Use

- The user wants to explore programs for a niche, compare programs or choose products to promote
- The user is about to join a program and wants the current terms
- The user is writing a review, comparison or listicle and needs numbers that will hold up
- A listing is marked unverified, or its last check is old
- Two sources disagree on a commission rate or cookie window

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add affitor/affiliate-skills/find-and-verify-affiliate-program@sha256:ff4a341a25ac82f5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
