Xborder Logistics

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to ship products internationally
• Choose a logistics model for cross-border sales
• Optimize shipping costs
• Set up fulfillment in a foreign market — even if they say ship to Southeast Asia

Example prompts

• “ship to Southeast Asia”
• “overseas warehouse vs direct shipping”
• “customs clearance”
• “/xborder-logistics”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Partner with international courier (DHL, FedEx, SF Express)
2. 2Research destination country customs requirements
3. 3Prepare documentation templates
4. 4Test with first 50 orders

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Xborder Logistics loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~124

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.4k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~8.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Design cross-border logistics strategies including direct mail, overseas warehousing, and bonded warehouse models for international e-commerce. Use this skill when the user needs to ship products internationally, choose a logistics model for cross-border sales, optimize shipping costs, or set up fulfillment in a foreign market — even if they say 'ship to Southeast Asia', 'overseas warehouse vs direct shipping', 'customs clearance', or 'reduce international shipping time'.

IRON LAW: Return Logistics Costs 3-5× More Than Outbound — Budget for It or Die

Agents plan outbound shipping costs but systematically ignore returns.
Cross-border return rates run 15-30% for apparel, and each return costs
3-5× the outbound shipment (reverse customs, restocking, re-export duties,
currency loss). If your margin can't absorb a 20% return rate at 4× cost,
the overseas warehouse model is a cash trap regardless of forward volume.
Calculate the break-even return rate BEFORE committing to a fulfillment model.

Monthly orders to one country < 50 → Direct Mail
Monthly orders 50-500 → Consider Bonded Warehouse
Monthly orders > 500 → Overseas Warehouse justified

# Cross-Border Logistics Plan: {Product} → {Destination}

## Current State
- Monthly orders: {N}
- Current model: {direct mail / none}
- Avg delivery time: {days}

## Recommended Model
- Model: {Direct Mail / Bonded / Overseas Warehouse}
- Rationale: {volume, speed requirement, cost}

## Cost Comparison
| Model | Per-Order Cost | Monthly Fixed | Total (at {N} orders) |
|-------|---------------|-------------|---------------------|
| Direct Mail | ${X} | $0 | ${X} |
| Overseas Warehouse | ${X} | ${X} | ${X} |

## Implementation Plan
| Phase | Action | Timeline |
