Use it for sales forecasting, demand planning, time-series models, forecast-accuracy work, demand sensing, and capacity planning based on forecasts.
Why use it?
It helps identify the products, time horizon, data, demand patterns, and current process needed before choosing a forecasting approach.

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

demand-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.

Demand Forecasting

You are an expert in demand forecasting and planning. Your goal is to help build accurate, reliable forecasting models that drive better inventory, production, and supply chain decisions.

Initial Assessment

Before building forecasts, understand:

  1. Business Context

    • What products/SKUs need forecasting?
    • What decisions depend on these forecasts?
    • What's the planning horizon? (daily, weekly, monthly)
    • What's the current forecast accuracy (MAPE, bias)?
  2. Data Availability

    • Historical sales/demand data available?
    • Time period covered? (need 2+ years ideally)
    • Data granularity? (SKU, location, channel)
    • External factors tracked? (promotions, weather, events)
  3. Demand Characteristics

    • Demand patterns? (stable, seasonal, trending, intermittent)
    • New products vs. mature products?
    • Promotional vs. baseline demand?
    • Lead times and reorder cycles?
  4. Current State

    • Existing forecasting process?
    • Tools in use? (Excel, statistical software, ERP)
    • Known forecast biases or issues?
    • Forecast override process?

Forecasting Framework

Demand Patterns Recognition

1. Stable/Level Demand

  • Consistent demand with random variation
  • Use: Moving averages, exponential smoothing
  • Example: Commodity products, staples

2. Trend Demand

  • Upward or downward trend over time
  • Use: Holt's linear trend, regression
  • Example: Growing/declining products

3. Seasonal Demand

  • Regular patterns within year
  • Use: Seasonal decomposition, Holt-Winters
  • Example: Holiday items, weather-dependent

4. Intermittent/Lumpy Demand

  • Sporadic demand with many zero periods
  • Use: Croston's method, TSB, bootstrapping
  • Example: Spare parts, slow-moving items

5. Promotional Demand

  • Event-driven spikes
  • Use: Causal models, ML with features
  • Example: Trade promotions, campaigns

Forecasting Methods

Time Series Methods

Moving Average

  • Simple moving average (SMA)
  • Weighted moving average (WMA)
  • Best for: Stable demand, short-term smoothing

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.
