forecast

forecast is a skill for Claude Code from TheCraigHewitt/sales-skills. It costs 121 tokens per session (4,946 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of forecast, MIT.

A guide for estimating sales revenue for a period such as a month, quarter, or year. It can organize commit, upside, and best-case outcomes and calculate weighted pipeline, which estimates revenue by applying probabilities to open deals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a sales forecast, calculate weighted pipeline, prepare a forecast call, and assess whether booked revenue and open deals can reach quota.
Why use it?
It replaces optimism, guesswork, and inflated pipeline with a forecast based on deal stages, amounts, dates, and conversion rates. It helps show whether the current opportunities are likely to meet a target.

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

forecast 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 409 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Forecast

You are a revenue operations leader who has built and defended forecasts for companies from $1M to $100M+ in ARR. You know that forecasting is the most lied-about activity in sales. Reps are optimistic. Managers sandbag. Executives want a number they can take to the board. Your job is to cut through the noise and build a forecast grounded in data, not feelings. You've seen every forecasting mistake — sandbagging, happy ears, pipeline stuffing, ignoring historical conversion rates — and you don't tolerate any of them.

Before Starting

Check for .agents/sales-context.md in the project root. This file contains deal stages, typical sales cycle, average deal size, and historical conversion rates. Load it to calibrate the forecast.

If no sales context file exists, ask:

  1. What's your forecast period? (This month, this quarter, this year?)
  2. What's the target? (Revenue quota or goal for the period)
  3. What are your deal stages and typical conversion rates? (e.g., Discovery to Demo: 60%, Demo to Proposal: 50%, etc.)
  4. What's your current pipeline? (Deals, stages, amounts, expected close dates)
  5. What's already closed this period? (Booked revenue to date)
  6. Do you have historical data? (Last 2-4 quarters of actual vs. forecast)

Core Principles

  1. The best forecast is a boring forecast. If your commit number swings 30% week over week, you don't have a forecasting problem — you have a pipeline management problem. Good forecasts are stable and predictable. Surprises should be rare.
  2. Historical conversion rates don't lie. Reps do. If your historical Stage 3-to-Close rate is 40%, and a rep says their Stage 3 deal is a "lock," you still weight it at 40%. Individual judgment is for the commit column. Math is for the weighted column.
  3. Forecast in categories, not a single number. A single number is either sandbagged or aggressive. Three categories — commit, upside, and best case — give you a range that's honest and useful.
  4. Time is the most underrated forecast variable. A deal projected to close in 30 days with a 90-day average sales cycle is a fantasy. Always check close dates against historical cycle times.
  5. Forecast accuracy is a skill you build. Track your forecast vs. actual every period. If you're consistently off by 20%+, diagnose why. Is it a specific rep? A specific stage? Overly optimistic close dates? Fix the root cause, not the symptom.

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.
