vertical-retail

vertical-retail is a skill for Claude Code from avelikiy/great_cto. It costs 156 tokens per session (2,122 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A domain guide to retail and e-commerce software, covering storefronts, products, inventory, pricing, and cart recovery. It explains why a SKU identifies one sellable product configuration, such as a red large shirt, and how that differs from the parent product.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for defining storefronts, inventory systems, multichannel retail tools, pricing features, and abandoned-cart workflows.
Why use it?
It helps product planners model stock, margins, and sales across several channels instead of treating products as simple catalog entries.

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-retail 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Retail & e-commerce — spec it like someone who's run a store

The SMB retail buyer already pays Shopify ($39–399/mo + 2.9%), BigCommerce, Wix, Ecwid, or WooCommerce. They are not naive — so the spec can't be either. A storefront that "has products and a cart" is table stakes; the value is in the parts those platforms do badly. Read this before writing the catalog/inventory/pricing/cart sections of any retail ARCH or PLAN doc.

1. Domain vocabulary (use these exact words)

  • SKU vs variant — a variant is one buyable configuration (Red / Large); its SKU is the unique code that variant ships and is counted under. A "product" is the parent; you stock, price, and sell variants, not products.
  • Multichannel / omnichannel — selling across several channels (own storefront, Amazon, eBay, in-store POS, Instagram). Omnichannel additionally means one inventory pool behind all of them. Channel-awareness is the whole game for SMB inventory.
  • Reorder point — stock level that triggers a purchase order = (avg daily demand × lead time in days) + safety stock. Lead time = supplier days from order to receipt. Safety stock = buffer for demand/lead-time variance. Reordering without all three is wrong.
  • COGS (cost of goods sold) and margin = (price − COGS) / price. Landed cost = unit cost + freight + duties + handling; margin must use landed cost, not invoice cost.
  • ATS / available to sell = on-hand − allocated (reserved by open orders) − safety stock. Customers buy against ATS, never raw on-hand.
  • Backorder vs preorder — backorder = out of stock now, will refill (sell against incoming PO). Preorder = not released yet, future availability date. Different fulfillment promises.
  • Cart abandonment rate = 1 − (completed checkouts / carts created); industry ~70%.
  • AOV (average order value) and conversion rate = orders / sessions. The two levers pricing/promotions move.
  • Fulfillment — pick/pack/ship. Dropship = supplier ships direct, seller never holds stock (so "stock" is the supplier's ATS feed, not yours).
  • MAP (minimum advertised price) — supplier-imposed price floor; a pricing rule must respect it or the seller loses the brand.

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.
