## What it does

The skill breaks down unit economics for a single product or a whole catalog. Feed it a price, COGS, PPC spend, ACoS and return rate, and it returns a report with a revenue waterfall from gross sales to net profit, a fee table (referral, FBA fulfillment, storage, long-term storage, removal) and a marketing cost block.

Then comes the profitability check: net margin, ROI, ROAS, contribution margin and the break-even point in units per month. Metrics are lined up against category benchmarks and top-25% seller figures. A final step turns that into recommendations — shrink the FBA size tier through packaging, clear aging inventory, cut the return rate, retest price and ACoS targets.

The analysis runs on the numbers you supply. Skip COGS, ad spend or return rate and the margin comes out incomplete, so gather those first. Install is a single `npx skills` command.

Supported in Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.

## When to use it
- calculate true net margin after every Amazon fee
- spot hidden line items inside the FBA fee structure
- see how much advertising eats at a given ACoS
- rank SKUs by profitability and flag the laggards
- estimate the monthly break-even unit count

## Example prompts
- Analyze profitability of my yoga mat: $34.99 selling price, $8 COGS, $400/month PPC spend, 15% ACoS, 5% return rate
- Review profit margins across my whole catalog and show which SKUs underperform
- Break down all Amazon fees for my electronics category and tell me where to cut costs
