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

inventory-tracking 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 11d 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.

Inventory Tracking

Overview

Real-time inventory tracking prevents overselling by reserving stock when customers add items to their cart and decrementing it on order fulfillment. Every major e-commerce platform has this built in. Platform-native inventory tracking is almost always the right starting point — only build custom inventory logic if you have requirements that platforms cannot meet (complex multi-warehouse routing, custom reservation windows, or external WMS integration).

When to Use This Skill

  • When overselling is occurring and orders are being placed for out-of-stock items
  • When implementing multi-warehouse inventory with per-location stock levels
  • When building backorder or pre-order functionality for out-of-stock products
  • When a flash sale or product launch will create high-concurrency checkout attempts for limited-stock items

Core Instructions

Step 1: Determine platform and enable inventory tracking

Platform Built-in Inventory Recommended Extension
Shopify Native per-variant inventory tracking with location support Stocky (free, by Shopify) for purchase orders and demand forecasting
WooCommerce Native stock management with backorder support ATUM Inventory Management for advanced multi-warehouse and supplier POs
BigCommerce Native per-SKU inventory tracking with low-stock alerts Multi-Location Inventory app for warehouse routing
Custom / Headless Build atomic reservation with optimistic locking Required for custom platforms without native inventory management

Step 2: Platform-specific setup


Shopify

Shopify tracks inventory per variant, per location, natively.

Enable inventory tracking:

  1. Go to Admin → Products → [Product] → [Variant]
  2. Under Inventory, check Track quantity
  3. Enter your quantity per location
  4. For "Continue selling when out of stock" — only check this if you allow backorders for this product
