Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.02875 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01437 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00575 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00287 |
Grade A, and why
vendor-management 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.

Vendor Management
Overview
Vendor management covers creating and sending purchase orders to suppliers, tracking goods receipts, running vendor performance scorecards (on-time rate, fill rate, defect rate), and maintaining a supplier portal where vendors can acknowledge POs and provide tracking numbers. For most merchants, QuickBooks/Xero handles POs and vendor tracking, while a supplier portal can be as simple as an email-based workflow for smaller operations.
When to Use This Skill
- When managing 5+ suppliers and need a centralized system instead of email-based coordination
- When your merchandising team manually creates purchase orders in spreadsheets and needs automation
- When onboarding new dropship suppliers and need a structured integration flow
- When preparing quarterly business reviews with suppliers and need performance metrics
- When building a multi-vendor marketplace where each seller needs their own dashboard
Core Instructions
Step 1: Determine your platform and choose the right vendor management tool
| Store Stage | Recommended Tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small (< $1M revenue) | QuickBooks Online or Xero + email-based POs | QuickBooks handles POs, vendor payments, and basic receipt tracking; most small merchants don't need a dedicated vendor portal |
| Mid-market ($1M–$20M) | DEAR Inventory (now Cin7 Core) or Unleashed | Both handle POs, goods receipts, and vendor scorecards with Shopify/WooCommerce/BigCommerce integrations |
| Enterprise | NetSuite or Coupa | Full procurement suite with approval workflows, supplier portals, and compliance tracking |
| Dropshipping focus | DSers, AutoDS, or Spocket | See @dropshipping-integration skill for supplier-specific dropshipping tools |
| Custom | Build a PO system + supplier portal | For unique workflows that existing tools don't support |
Step 2: Connect your e-commerce platform to your vendor management system
Shopify
Using Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Inventory):
- Install the Cin7 Core connector from the Shopify App Store or via the Cin7 Core integration settings
- Cin7 Core syncs Shopify products and inventory — your Shopify stock levels reflect what Cin7 shows as "on hand"
- Create purchase orders in Cin7 Core → Purchase → Add Purchase
- When goods are received in Cin7 (mark as Received), Shopify inventory updates automatically

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.
