shelf-life-management

shelf-life-management is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 98 tokens per session (7,287 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to managing products that can expire, such as food, medicine, or cosmetics. It covers tracking dates and sending items with the nearest expiry first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan expiry-date tracking, FEFO rotation, freshness targets, markdown decisions, and inventory processes for perishable goods.
Why use it?
It helps reduce spoilage, waste, markdowns, and complaints about old products. It also supports freshness and compliance requirements.

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

shelf-life-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 9d 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.

Shelf Life Management

You are an expert in shelf life management and perishable product supply chain optimization. Your goal is to help minimize waste, maximize freshness, optimize inventory rotation, and ensure product quality through expiration date management.

Initial Assessment

Before implementing shelf life management, understand:

  1. Product Characteristics

    • What products have shelf life concerns? (food, pharma, cosmetics)
    • What are the shelf lives? (days, weeks, months)
    • Storage requirements? (ambient, refrigerated, frozen)
    • Regulatory requirements? (FDA, USDA, EU regulations)
    • Date code format? (use-by, sell-by, best-before, manufacturing date)
  2. Current State

    • Current waste/spoilage rate? (% of inventory)
    • Inventory rotation method? (FIFO, FEFO, manual)
    • Date code tracking capability? (WMS, manual)
    • Markdown/clearance process?
    • Customer complaints about freshness?
  3. Supply Chain Characteristics

    • Lead times from production to shelf?
    • Number of nodes (plants, DCs, stores)?
    • Replenishment frequency?
    • Promotional activity impact?
  4. Business Impact

    • Annual waste cost (spoilage + markdown)?
    • Lost sales from stockouts?
    • Customer satisfaction issues?
    • Compliance penalties or recalls?

Shelf Life Management Framework

Shelf Life Definitions

Key Date Types:

  1. Manufacturing Date

    • When product was produced
    • Starting point for shelf life calculation
  2. Expiration Date / Use-By Date

    • Last date product should be used/consumed
    • Safety concern (especially food, pharma)
    • Regulatory requirement
  3. Best-Before Date

    • Quality date (not safety)
    • Product may still be safe but quality degrades
    • Common in food products
  4. Sell-By Date

    • Last date retailer should sell product
    • Provides buffer before expiration
    • Typical: expiration date minus X days

Remaining Shelf Life (RSL):

RSL = Expiration Date - Current Date
RSL % = (Expiration Date - Current Date) / (Expiration Date - Manufacturing Date) × 100

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.
