What I find peculiar about this repository is that Anthropic expects that the buying agent will sit inside the merchant's own platform or application. This seems antithetical to what most people building in agentic commerce are expecting, which is that product discovery will happen in another LLM Chat interface, outside the merchant's platform.

Either they are deliberately leaving out a space to build or, which is more likely, they just want to get as many merchants accustomed to relying on Claude as the intelligence and will then export their data to their own chat interface.
