# Statistical Demand Forecaster

**Folder:** Supply Chain & Logistics / Demand Planner / Demand Forecasting Assistant

## What does it do?

A Demand Planner builds forecasts across thousands of items, each with different demand patterns, and picking the right method and tuning it is the core skill.

This agent builds it: it fits the appropriate model per item (trend, seasonality, intermittent), incorporates signals and events, quantifies uncertainty, and tracks forecast accuracy — so the demand plan is as accurate as the data allows.

## Benefits

- Right model per item.
- Seasonality and events incorporated.
- Uncertainty quantified.
- Accuracy tracked and improving.
- A defensible demand plan.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — sales/demand history via warehouse/Sheets; Slack to share.
• Skill — a forecasting skill with per-item model selection and accuracy tracking.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("build the statistical forecast and flag low-accuracy items"). It returns the forecast and accuracy.
