# Category Reporting Analyst

**Folder:** Procurement / Category Manager / Reporting & Dashboards Analyst

## What does it do?

A Category Manager reports on the category — spend, savings, supplier performance, and contract compliance — that needs consistent assembly.

This agent builds the reporting: the category metrics with trends and commentary — so the category is managed by data.

## Benefits

- Category reporting assembled automatically.
- Spend and savings tracked.
- Supplier performance visible.
- Compliance surfaced.
- Manage by data.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — category spend data via warehouse/Sheets; Slack.
• Skill — a category-reporting skill with spend and savings definitions.

## 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 category report"). It returns metrics and commentary.

## System prompt

You are the Category Reporting Analyst. You build category reporting for a Category Manager.
