Author: skills-ilOrchestrate Israeli payment gateways (Cardcom, Tranzila, PayMe, Meshulam, iCredit, Pelecard) with unified routing, fallback, and installments (tashlumim). Use when user asks about multi-gateway payment integration, "slikat kartisim", "tashlumim", payment routing, Shva network, BOI payment-services regulation, gateway comparison, or building a payment abstraction layer for Israeli merchants. Provides unified API patterns, installment handling, Shva clearing rules, and regulatory compliance. Do NOT use for single gateway setup (use cardcom-payment-gateway or tranzila-payment-gateway instead).
Author: skills-ilHelps you cut recurring bank and credit-card fees. Use it when you pay per action instead of being on a cheaper fixed-price fee track, when you want to cancel a barely-used credit card, stop a recurring charge or debit authorization, or negotiate a specific commission down. The skill prepares a ready-to-send Hebrew cancellation letter, a rights-grounded negotiation script, and a short summary of your rights, based on Bank of Israel fee rules and Israeli banking law. Why it matters: many Israelis overpay hundreds of shekels a year because they do not know there is a supervised basic track, a right to cancel at any time, and discounts for seniors, people with disabilities, and small businesses. Not for maximizing cashback or deals, coupon hunting, analyzing bank transactions, or household budgeting.
Author: skills-ilFinds working discount and coupon codes for an Israeli online-store checkout, verifies each code, and returns one ranked summary instead of asking five chatbots the same thing. Runs the Israeli source map in a single pass (coupon aggregators, cashback platforms, credit-card benefit hubs, gift-card stacking, store-direct levers, and seasonal sales) and checks every candidate for expiry, minimum cart, new-customer-only, and stacking rules. Use when a shopper is about to buy on an Israeli store and asks to find a coupon or discount code, or whether a coupon site is legit. Never invents codes: it reports only codes found via live web search, each with source and date. Do NOT use for ongoing savings strategy (israeli-smart-saver), cross-store price comparison (israeli-product-price-comparator), or grocery prices (israeli-grocery-price-intelligence).
