freight-shipper-carrier-principal-agent

freight-shipper-carrier-principal-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (716 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for freight brokers who sit between shippers and carriers with different interests. It examines how to manage costs, carrier pay, broker margin, service promises, and transparency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting broker agreements, deciding how much margin to disclose, balancing price against carrier loyalty, or defining service expectations.
Why use it?
It helps surface conflicts that can arise when the broker must serve both sides while earning a spread between what the shipper pays and the carrier receives.

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

freight-shipper-carrier-principal-agent 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 8d 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.

Freight Broker — Shipper/Carrier Principal-Agent Balance

Industry front door for principal-agent. Adds domain triggers, example, packs. Parent Process unchanged. Guidance, not professional advice. No legal, tax, financial or regulatory advice; verify anything jurisdiction- or rate-dependent against current authority. The professional who acts owns the decision.

Activate when: structuring shipper agreements; deciding margin transparency; a conflict between cheapest-for-shipper and loyal-carrier; setting service expectations both sides rely on. Do NOT activate when: you carry the freight yourself (no intermediary role).

Why this variant

The parent principal-agent analyzes misaligned incentives between parties. A broker sits between two principals (shipper wants low cost + reliability; carrier wants high pay + steady loads) and profits on the spread — a structural conflict managed through clear roles, service commitments, and appropriate transparency.

Domain inputs → the analysis

  • Name the misalignments: shipper's cost vs your margin; carrier's pay vs your margin; both sides' reliance on your promises.
  • Decide the model: transparent/managed-transportation (open margin) vs traditional (spread) — and disclose accordingly.
  • Align via reputation: reliable capacity for shippers + prompt, fair pay for carriers builds the repeated-game trust that beats squeezing either side once.

Worked example

A shipper could save $80 on a load via an unknown cheap carrier, but your reliable carrier costs more. → Principal-agent view: chasing the one-time saving risks a failed delivery (shipper's real interest is reliability) and burns carrier trust. Weigh the relationship/reliability value, not just the spread.

Packs

  • Solo broker: service-level + payment-terms clarity with both sides.
  • Brokerage: transparency policy; carrier prompt-pay as a retention moat.

Red flags

  • Maximizing per-load spread at the cost of either relationship.
  • Opaque promises neither side can rely on.
  • Treating carriers as disposable (they aren't, in a tight market).

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.
