What it does

Abc Xyz Segmentation is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Segment a SKU portfolio on value (ABC) and demand variability (XYZ), produce the 9-box with a planning policy per cell, and reallocate planner attention accordingly. Use when the user mentions ABC analysis, inventory segmentation, SKU rationalization, stok segmentasyonu, envanter sınıflandırma, or asks which items deserve forecasting effort. Differentiator - ABC alone is treated as half an answer; policy lives in the value x variability combination.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Forecasting and time series. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions ABC analysis
  • Inventory segmentation
  • SKU rationalization
  • Stok segmentasyonu

Example prompts

  • “/abc-xyz-segmentation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. ABC on annual value. Rank by annual consumption value; cumulative 80% = A, next 15% = B, rest = C. Report the actual concentration found…
  2. XYZ on variability. CV = std/mean of period demand per SKU. Defaults: X < 0.5, Y 0.5-1.0, Z >= 1.0. These are conventions - check the CV…
  3. Build the 9-box with SKU counts AND value share per cell. Value share is what makes managers act.
  4. Attach the policy per cell (adapt wording to context)
  5. Name the reallocation. The deliverable is planner-hours and buffer money moving between cells - state explicitly which cells gain and lose…
  6. Validate. Sum of cell value shares must equal 100%; spot-check two SKUs' classifications against their raw series before presenting.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Abc Xyz Segmentation loads about 873 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 404 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~873

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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
Segment a SKU portfolio on value (ABC) and demand variability (XYZ), produce the 9-box with a planning policy per cell, and reallocate planner attention accordingly. Use when the user mentions ABC analysis, inventory segmentation, SKU rationalization, stok segmentasyonu, envanter sınıflandırma, or asks which items deserve forecasting effort. Differentiator - ABC alone is treated as half an answer; policy lives in the value x variability combination.

ABC-XYZ Segmentation

Value tells you where the money is. Variability tells you whether forecasting, buffering or restructuring can work. Never output a classification without the policy consequences.

Required data

Per-SKU demand history (sku, period, qty) covering 12+ periods, plus unit value (unit_price or cost). Without unit value, ABC degrades to a volume ranking - say so and ask for prices before presenting conclusions about money.

Workflow

  1. ABC on annual value. Rank by annual consumption value; cumulative 80% = A, next 15% = B, rest = C. Report the actual concentration found (e.g. "15 SKUs = 80%"), not the folklore 20/80.
  2. XYZ on variability. CV = std/mean of period demand per SKU. Defaults: X < 0.5, Y 0.5-1.0, Z >= 1.0. These are conventions - check the CV histogram for natural breaks and state the thresholds used. SKUs with structural zero periods (intermittent) belong in Z regardless of CV arithmetic; mean-based CV understates their risk.
  3. Build the 9-box with SKU counts AND value share per cell. Value share is what makes managers act.
  4. Attach the policy per cell (adapt wording to context):
    • A-X: tight forecasting pays; low buffer, frequent review, automate replenishment
    • A-Y: forecast + healthy buffer; investigate variability drivers
    • A-Z: do not chase forecasts - strategic buffer, lead-time negotiation, or make-to-order
    • B-X / C-X: min-max autopilot; withdraw planner attention
    • B-Z: buffer or longer promise dates; check if variability is self-inflicted (promotions, batching)
    • C-Z: rationalization shortlist - kill, consolidate, or on-demand sourcing
  5. Name the reallocation. The deliverable is planner-hours and buffer money moving between cells - state explicitly which cells gain and lose attention.
  6. Validate. Sum of cell value shares must equal 100%; spot-check two SKUs' classifications against their raw series before presenting.

Pitfalls to check explicitly

  • ABC computed on quantity while unit values vary 10x+ ranks the wrong items.
  • Self-inflicted variability (order batching, month-end pushes, promotions) shows up as Z; flag it as a process fix, not a demand fact.
  • Classifications rot - recommend re-running quarterly and tracking cell migrations.
  • A dominant "C-Z is 60% of SKUs" finding usually signals assortment bloat, not a planning problem.

Output format

  1. The 9-box (counts + value share per cell)
  2. Policy table per occupied cell
  3. Attention-reallocation paragraph (from where, to where)
  4. Rationalization shortlist (top C-Z items by holding cost or shelf age, if data allows)
