What it does

Inventory Policy is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set inventory policy for an item class: segmentation, safety stock, and replenishment method. Use when asked to set safety stock levels, segment items by ABC/XYZ, choose reorder points vs min-max, define stocking policy, or review excess and obsolete inventory. Produces a segmentation grid, per-segment service targets and safety-stock logic, a replenishment method choice per segment, and an E&O review cadence.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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 set safety stock levels
  • Segment items by ABC/XYZ
  • Choose reorder points vs min-max
  • Define stocking policy

Example prompts

  • “/inventory-policy”

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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Inventory Policy loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108

~1.6k

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.

description
Set inventory policy for an item class: segmentation, safety stock, and replenishment method. Use when asked to set safety stock levels, segment items by ABC/XYZ, choose reorder points vs min-max, define stocking policy, or review excess and obsolete inventory. Produces a segmentation grid, per-segment service targets and safety-stock logic, a replenishment method choice per segment, and an E&O review cadence.

Inventory Policy Skill

Inventory policy set item-by-item on gut feel produces the classic warehouse: too much of what doesn't sell, stockouts on what does. This skill sets policy by segment — classify items by value and demand variability, assign service targets and safety-stock logic per segment, choose the replenishment method that fits the demand pattern, and put excess & obsolescence review on a calendar so write-offs stop arriving as year-end surprises.

What This Skill Produces

  • An ABC/XYZ segmentation grid with the item class placed in it
  • Per-segment service-level targets and safety-stock sizing logic
  • A replenishment method recommendation (reorder point vs. min-max vs. order-to-demand) per segment
  • Review frequencies: how often parameters get recalculated per segment
  • An excess & obsolescence (E&O) review cadence with aging triggers and disposition paths

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Item scope — the items or class under review; count, annual usage value, unit costs
  • Demand pattern — average demand, how lumpy/variable it is, seasonality, item lifecycle stage
  • Lead times — supplier replenishment lead time and its variability
  • Service expectations — target fill rate or customer commitments; consequence of a stockout
  • Constraints — MOQs, shelf life, storage limits, working-capital pressure

From a thin brief, place the item in the grid using stated context, label placements [inferred — confirm with 12 months of usage data], and proceed.

Segmentation & Policy Framework

ABC by annual usage value (A ≈ top 80% of value, B next 15%, C last 5%). XYZ by demand variability (X = steady/predictable; Y = variable but forecastable, e.g. seasonal; Z = lumpy/intermittent).

X (steady)Y (variable)Z (lumpy)
A (high value)97–99% service; lean SS; tight ROP, frequent review95–98%; SS sized to lead-time demand variability; ROP, monthly recalcDo not blanket-stock: order-to-demand or contract supplier-held stock; each stocking decision is a named business call
B95–97%; ROP with standard SS92–95%; ROP or min-maxMin-max with small max, or make-to-order
C (low value)90–95%; min-max, generous max (cheap to hold, expensive to expedite)90%; min-max, quarterly reviewStock only if stockout stops a line or an A-item sale; else non-stocked

Safety-stock logic (z-score framing, no heavy math): safety stock buffers demand and lead-time variability over the replenishment lead time. The service target sets a z multiplier on that variability — roughly z ≈ 1.28 at 90%, 1.65 at 95%, 2.05 at 98%, 2.33 at 99%. Two judgments matter more than the formula: the curve is nonlinear (95→99% costs far more stock than 90→95% — spend those points only on A-items), and for Z-items the variability estimate itself is unreliable, so formula-driven SS produces nonsense — use lead-time-demand coverage plus judgment, and say so.

Reorder point vs. min-max: ROP (order a fixed/economic quantity when stock hits demand-over-lead-time + SS) suits steady movers with continuous tracking — A/B items. Min-max (order up to max when stock falls to min) suits cheap, periodically reviewed, or lumpy items — most C and Z items. Respect MOQs: if MOQ ≫ the economic quantity, that's a supplier negotiation or a stocking-decision review, not a bigger max.

E&O cadence: monthly — flag items with >180 days of supply on hand or no usage in 90 days; quarterly — disposition review (rework / return / redeploy / discount / scrap) with finance, reserve recommendation per aging band; at lifecycle events — last-time-buy sizing when a supplier or product end-of-lifes.

Output Format

Inventory Policy: [item class / scope]

1. Segmentation — the grid populated with item counts and value per cell; method used.

2. Policy table — Segment | Service target | Safety-stock logic | Replenishment method | Parameter review frequency.

3. Item-class recommendation — for the specific scope: segment, target, SS sizing, method, and the parameters to set, with assumptions labelled.

4. E&O cadence — triggers, review calendar, disposition paths, reserve approach.

5. Exceptions — items policy must not automate (shelf-life, LTB, contractual stock) and their handling.

Quality Checks

  • Segmentation uses both value (ABC) and variability (XYZ) — never ABC alone
  • Service targets differ by segment and the stock cost of high targets is acknowledged
  • AZ cell is handled as named decisions, not a formula output
  • Replenishment method matches demand pattern and review practicality, with MOQ conflicts flagged
  • E&O review has thresholds, a calendar, and disposition paths — not "review periodically"
  • Every inferred parameter is labelled with the data needed to confirm it

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not set one service level for everything — 98% across the board is working capital burned on C-items
  • Do not apply z-score safety stock to lumpy Z-demand — the variability input is garbage and the output will be too
  • Do not size safety stock off the forecast alone — lead-time variability is half the buffer's job
  • Do not treat MOQ-driven stock as safety stock — it's a cost of the deal and should be challenged with the supplier
  • Do not let E&O wait for the annual count — aging inventory loses disposition options every month it sits
  • Do not recalculate parameters weekly for C-items or annually for A-items — review effort follows value

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Set safety stock levels."
  • "Choose reorder points vs min-max."
  • "Define stocking policy."
  • "Review excess and obsolete inventory."
