cash-flow-forecasting

cash-flow-forecasting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from finsilabs/awesome-ecommerce-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,566 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A forecast of when cash will enter and leave the business, based on sales history, payment timing, seasonal patterns, and money owed by customers or platforms. It can include scenarios and a view of how long available cash will last.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan inventory purchases, monitor cash runway, model weak-sales scenarios, prepare fundraising forecasts, and manage delayed or seasonal payments.
Why use it?
Revenue and cash are not always received at the same time: inventory may be paid for before it sells, and marketplaces or payment processors may delay payouts. Forecasting exposes upcoming shortfalls before they happen.

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

cash-flow-forecasting 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 12d 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.

Cash Flow Forecasting

Overview

Cash flow forecasting predicts when money actually enters and leaves your bank account — not when revenue is recognized. For ecommerce businesses, cash and revenue timing diverge significantly: payment processors hold funds for days or weeks, inventory must be purchased and paid for weeks before it sells, and marketplace disbursements are bi-weekly or delayed by account reviews.

This skill guides you through building a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast using your platform's data, covering the key cash timing differences by sales channel, and setting up a simple model in a spreadsheet or BI tool that you update weekly.

When to Use This Skill

  • When managing cash position and needing to know your runway
  • When planning inventory buys and needing to confirm you have the cash to fund them
  • When preparing for a fundraise and needing to show investors a 12–18 month cash model
  • When stress-testing the business against a revenue shortfall scenario
  • When selling on Amazon and managing bi-weekly disbursement timing
  • When planning for seasonal cash flow gaps (Q1 trough after Q4 peak)

Core Instructions

Step 1: Pull your historical revenue and expense data from your platform

Before building a forecast, gather 12 months of actuals. Here is where to find the data by platform:


Shopify
  1. Revenue data: Go to Analytics → Reports → Sales over time — export to CSV; this gives you daily/weekly/monthly gross sales, discounts, returns, and net sales
  2. Order-level data: Go to Analytics → Reports → Orders over time — shows order count and AOV trends useful for projecting future orders
  3. Finance summary: Go to Analytics → Finances summary — shows gross sales, discounts, returns, shipping charged, and net sales for any date range
  4. Payouts: Go to Finances → Payouts — shows exactly when Shopify Payments transferred funds to your bank and the amount; this is your actual cash inflow history, not just revenue recognition
  5. Export orders: Go to Orders → Export — download all orders with financial data; use this to build a detailed spreadsheet model
