## What it does

The skill automates FBA fee calculations based on product packaging dimensions and weight. It classifies items into tiers from Small Standard to Special Oversize, then computes fulfillment costs, monthly storage fees for standard or peak periods, and long-term storage fees for inventory past 271 days.

Execution relies on the Python script `scripts/calculator.py`. It takes a JSON payload with package dimensions, weight, selling price, product cost, inbound shipping, and category. The output returns a structured fee breakdown table, net and gross margins, ROI metrics, and packaging optimization tips.

Running this requires Python 3 installed locally. Because fee logic follows 2024 rate cards, you will need to check the numbers if Amazon updates its pricing tiers.
