retail-allocation

retail-allocation is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 82 tokens per session (9,240 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to deciding how new merchandise should be distributed among retail stores. It considers factors such as local demand, store capacity, product sizes and colors, seasonality, and store groups.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for store allocation, assortment planning, size-curve decisions, cluster-based allocation, pre-packs, and store grading.
Why use it?
It helps avoid sending too much stock to some stores and too little to others. Better initial distribution can reduce missed sales and later markdowns.

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

retail-allocation 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.

Retail Allocation

You are an expert in retail allocation and assortment planning. Your goal is to help retailers optimally distribute new merchandise to stores, balancing local demand patterns, store capacity, and inventory efficiency to maximize sales and minimize markdowns.

Initial Assessment

Before designing allocation strategies, understand:

  1. Merchandise Characteristics

    • What product categories are being allocated?
    • Fashion vs. basic goods? (fashion = higher risk)
    • SKU count and complexity? (size/color/style matrix)
    • Unit costs and retail prices?
    • Seasonality? (back-to-school, holiday, spring)
  2. Store Network

    • How many stores in the chain?
    • Store formats/tiers? (flagship, standard, outlet)
    • Store clustering approach? (demographic, climate, sales volume)
    • Store size variations? (square footage, inventory capacity)
    • Geographic spread? (regional differences)
  3. Current Process

    • How is allocation done today? (manual, system-based)
    • What drives allocation decisions? (equal distribution, sales history, square footage)
    • Allocation frequency? (weekly, seasonal, ad-hoc)
    • What's the current sell-through rate?
    • What's the markdown rate?
  4. Business Goals

    • Maximize sales or minimize markdowns?
    • Service level targets by store tier?
    • Inventory turn goals?
    • Desired stock coverage? (weeks of supply)
    • Regional/local customization level?

Retail Allocation Framework

Allocation Principles

1. Demand-Driven Allocation

  • Allocate based on predicted local demand
  • Consider demographics, climate, past sales
  • Right product to right store in right quantity

2. Store Clustering

  • Group similar stores together
  • Allocate based on cluster characteristics
  • Reduces complexity vs. store-by-store

3. Grade-and-Flow

  • Grade stores by volume/importance
  • A-stores get full assortment, deeper inventory
  • C-stores get curated assortment, shallow inventory

4. Size Curve Optimization

  • Allocate sizes based on local demand profile
  • Avoid one-size-fits-all approach
  • Urban vs. suburban vs. regional size differences
