vertical-logistics

vertical-logistics is a skill for Claude Code from avelikiy/great_cto. It costs 129 tokens per session (2,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A domain guide to logistics and supply-chain software, covering shipping, warehouses, routes, carriers, inventory, and purchase orders. It explains the difference between a transportation management system, which handles moving goods, and a warehouse management system, which handles goods stored in a building.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for planning shipment tracking, warehouse tools, route planning, carrier selection, and purchase-order management.
Why use it?
It helps product planners avoid reducing shipments to tracking numbers or warehouses to a single quantity field, which misses the operational rules of shipping and storage.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vertical-logistics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Vertical: Logistics & supply chain — spec it like you've shipped a pallet

SMB shipping & inventory has a deep vocabulary and a pile of rules that look optional until a real customer's data hits them. The incumbents (ShipHero, CartonCloud, Descartes ShipRush, GoFreight, AfterShip, FreightPOP) encode decades of this. A naive spec models a "shipment" as a tracking number and a "warehouse" as a quantity column — and ships a toy. This skill is the domain framing so architect/pm don't.

The four products and their incumbents:

Product Archetype Wedge Closest incumbent
shipment-tracking dashboard branded customer-facing tracking AfterShip (lite)
warehouse-lite crud small-warehouse WMS ShipHero / CartonCloud
route-optimization booking multi-stop route optimization Descartes / FreightPOP
po-mgmt crud purchase-order lifecycle GoFreight / FreightPOP

1. Domain vocabulary (use these terms in the spec, not paraphrases)

  • TMS vs WMS — Transportation Management System (moving goods between places: carriers, rates, routes, tracking) vs Warehouse Management System (goods at rest inside a building: SKUs, locations, pick/pack/ship). Don't conflate them; route-optimization + shipment-tracking are TMS-flavoured, warehouse-lite is WMS, po-mgmt straddles.
  • Multi-carrier — a shipment can go via USPS / UPS / FedEx / DHL / regional carriers. Each has its own API, label format, status codes, and webhook shape.
  • Rate shopping — given a parcel, query carriers and pick cheapest/fastest meeting the SLA. Drives carrier choice; depends on dimensional weight.
  • Zones — carrier distance bands (origin→dest); rate is a function of zone × weight.
  • Dimensional weight (DIM) — billable weight = max(actual weight, L×W×H / DIM divisor). A big light box bills as if heavy. Ignoring DIM under-quotes every rate.
  • BOL (Bill of Lading) — the carrier contract / receipt for a shipment (esp. freight).
  • ASN (Advance Ship Notice) — supplier's heads-up of an inbound shipment; feeds receiving so the warehouse knows what's arriving before it lands.
  • SKU + lot/batch — SKU identifies the product; lot/batch identifies a specific production run (expiry, recall, FIFO). Same SKU, different lots, are not interchangeable.
  • Pick / pack / ship — the outbound fulfilment sequence inside a warehouse.
  • Putaway — placing received inventory into its storage location.
  • Cycle count — periodic partial inventory audit (vs full physical count); keeps on-hand honest without shutting the warehouse.
  • Reorder point + safety stock + lead time — reorder when on-hand ≤ (demand × lead-time) + safety stock. Drives PO creation timing.
  • 3PL — third-party logistics provider; runs the warehouse/shipping on behalf of others.
  • PO → receiving → put-away — the inbound lifecycle: order goods, receive against the PO, put away into locations.
  • Dropship — supplier ships direct to the end customer; inventory never touches your warehouse.
  • Last-mile — final leg to the customer's door; where most delivery cost/failure lives.
  • Proof of delivery (POD) — signature / photo / timestamp confirming delivery.
  • SLA / transit time — promised delivery window; the constraint rate-shopping optimises against.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
