Inventory Optimizer
Overview
The Inventory Optimizer provides comprehensive inventory optimization capabilities including segmentation, service level targeting, and multi-echelon optimization. It balances inventory investment against service levels to maximize supply chain performance.
Capabilities
- ABC/XYZ Inventory Classification: Segment by value and demand variability
- Service Level to Inventory Tradeoff: Model cost-service curves
- Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization: Optimize across network tiers
- Safety Stock Calculation: Demand and lead time variability-based
- Reorder Point and EOQ Optimization: Economic order quantity analysis
- Slow-Moving/Obsolete Identification: SLOB analysis and disposition
- Inventory Investment Optimization: Working capital optimization
- Network Inventory Rebalancing: Cross-location optimization

Usage
ABC/XYZ Segmentation
Input: SKU master with annual usage and demand history
Process: Calculate value classification (ABC) and variability (XYZ)
Output: Nine-box segmentation with policy recommendations
Safety Stock Optimization
Input: Demand variability, lead time variability, service targets
Process: Calculate optimal safety stock by segment
Output: Safety stock quantities with investment impact
Network Inventory Balance
Input: Multi-location inventory positions, demand by location
Process: Identify imbalances and rebalancing opportunities
Output: Transfer recommendations with cost savings
Integration Points
- ERP Systems: Inventory data, transactions, master data
- Planning Systems: Demand forecasts, supply plans
- Optimization Solvers: scipy, CPLEX, Gurobi
- Tools/Libraries: scipy optimization, inventory algorithms
Process Dependencies
- Inventory Optimization and Segmentation
- Safety Stock Calculation and Optimization
- Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP)
Best Practices
- Refresh segmentation quarterly
- Validate demand variability calculations
- Consider service differentiation by customer segment
- Monitor fill rate vs. inventory investment tradeoffs
- Establish SLOB review cadence
- Document policy rationale for auditing

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
