What it does

Demand Forecast Review is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Interrogate a demand forecast before the business commits supply and inventory to it. Use when asked to review a demand plan, challenge a forecast, check forecast accuracy, decompose baseline vs uplift, or find hockey sticks in the numbers. Produces a forecast credibility review with baseline/uplift decomposition, MAPE and bias history, hockey-stick flags, an assumption register, and consensus-vs-statistical divergence analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to review a demand plan
  • Challenge a forecast
  • Check forecast accuracy
  • Decompose baseline vs uplift

Example prompts

  • “/demand-forecast-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    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

Demand Forecast Review loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 796 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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
Interrogate a demand forecast before the business commits supply and inventory to it. Use when asked to review a demand plan, challenge a forecast, check forecast accuracy, decompose baseline vs uplift, or find hockey sticks in the numbers. Produces a forecast credibility review with baseline/uplift decomposition, MAPE and bias history, hockey-stick flags, an assumption register, and consensus-vs-statistical divergence analysis.

Demand Forecast Review Skill

Every unit of forecast becomes purchase orders, capacity commitments, and inventory. This skill interrogates a forecast the way a supply planner must: separate the defensible baseline from hopeful uplift, confront the forecast with its own accuracy history, hunt for hockey sticks, and register every assumption so that when the number misses, you know which belief broke.

What This Skill Produces

  • A baseline vs. uplift decomposition (statistical base + named uplift layers)
  • Forecast accuracy history: MAPE and bias, with what they imply for buffering
  • Hockey-stick and pattern-anomaly flags
  • An assumption register with owner, evidence strength, and expiry
  • Consensus vs. statistical divergence flags with a burden-of-proof call
  • An overall credibility verdict: plan to it / plan to it with buffers / send back

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The forecast — by product/family and period, over the horizon under review
  • History — actuals for the trailing 12+ months; prior forecasts vs. actuals if available (for MAPE/bias)
  • Uplift drivers — promotions, launches, new customers, pipeline deals baked into the number
  • Who built it — statistical, sales-driven, consensus; and what changed since last cycle
  • Decision at stake — what the forecast will commit (buy, build, capacity) and its lead time

With no accuracy history, review structure and assumptions and state plainly: [accuracy unknown — treat forecast as unvalidated]. Never present conclusions as if history existed.

Interrogation Framework

1. Decompose baseline vs. uplift. Baseline = what history alone supports (trend + seasonality). Everything above it is an uplift layer that must be named: which promotion, which customer, which launch. Compute uplift share of total — above ~30% uplift, the forecast is a sales plan wearing a forecast's clothes, and each layer needs its own evidence.

2. Confront accuracy history.

MetricRead it asAction threshold
MAPE (lag matched to decision lead time)Noise level>30% at family level: forecast can't carry item-level commitments
Bias (signed error, running)Systematic leanSame sign 3+ consecutive periods: correct the input, don't buffer around it

Persistent over-forecast bias means excess inventory is being manufactured upstream; persistent under-forecast means service failures are planned in. Name which one this forecast has.

3. Hunt hockey sticks. Flag: quarter-end/year-end spikes with no order-book support; growth rates that jump beyond trailing actuals precisely when the plan needs them to; a ramp that has slipped right by one quarter in each successive cycle (the sliding hockey stick — the strongest sell-back signal there is).

4. Register assumptions. Every uplift and step-change gets a row: assumption, owner, evidence (order book / customer commitment / pipeline / hope), the period when reality will confirm or kill it, and the volume at stake if it fails.

5. Flag consensus vs. statistical divergence. Where consensus overrides the statistical line by >10%, the override carries the burden of proof. Check the track record: have past overrides beaten the stat model? If overrides historically added error, recommend planning supply to the statistical line and treating the delta as upside to option, not to stock.

Output Format

Forecast Review: [scope / cycle]

1. Verdict — plan to it / plan with stated buffers / send back for rework, and the one-paragraph why.

2. Decomposition — table: Period | Baseline | Uplift layer(s) | Total | Uplift %.

3. Accuracy history — MAPE and bias at the decision lag, trend, and the buffering implication.

4. Flags — hockey sticks, sliding ramps, anomalies vs. history, each with the volume at stake.

5. Assumption register — Assumption | Owner | Evidence strength (committed / probable / speculative) | Confirms by | Units at stake.

6. Divergence analysis — consensus vs. statistical by family; where overrides exceed 10%, the recommendation on which line supply should plan to.

7. Questions for the demand owner — the 3–5 questions that must be answered before commitment.

Quality Checks

  • Baseline and uplift separated, with uplift % computed and every layer named
  • Accuracy metrics computed at the lag matching the commitment lead time — or absence declared
  • Bias reported as signed and directional, not folded into MAPE
  • Every hockey-stick flag cites the pattern evidence (order book, prior-cycle slippage)
  • Every speculative assumption has an owner and a confirm-by date
  • Verdict states what supply should actually plan to, not just critique

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not present a forecast without its historical accuracy — a number with no track record is a guess with a spreadsheet
  • Do not treat persistent bias as noise to buffer — a lean that repeats is an input error to fix at source
  • Do not let uplift hide inside the baseline — unnamed uplift is unaccountable uplift
  • Do not accept "the ramp moved right but the year is intact" without flagging it — sliding ramps rarely land
  • Do not judge accuracy at aggregate level for item-level buys — mix error is where the money is lost
  • Do not soften the verdict to keep the S&OP meeting comfortable — supply commits real cash to this number

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Review a demand plan."
  • "Challenge a forecast."
  • "Check forecast accuracy."
  • "Find hockey sticks in the numbers."
