<!-- Copyright 2026 Anthropic PBC -- <!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 -- Demand Forecasting Forecasting has two paths. Pick the right one — using a subagent when you don't need one wastes turns; skipping it when you do gives you a bad number. Path A — compute it yourself (code execution) Use this when all of the following hold: - horizon ≤ 14 days - the product's isseasonal flag is 0 - the product's promonextmonth flag is 0 - the task doesn't mention a promo, holiday, or trend change Then the forecast is just a rolling mean. This skill ships a script for it: bash python .claude/skills/forecasting/rollingmean.py SKU-0057 14 That's it — one Bash call, ~200 tokens, no subagent. Read the script if you want to adapt it (it's ~20 lines). Batch variant for sweeps: if you need days-of-cover for many SKUs at once (e.g., the daily low-stock check), don't loop tool calls — run the batch script: bash python .claude/skills/forecasting/batchdaysofcover.py 20 Returns the 20 most urgent SKUs aExplore related resources
