Claude retail skills for CPG, Claude category management skills, and Claude sell-in skills for F&B adapt proven sales and category role patterns into installable Business Capability workflows. Instead of prompt zips or generic sales templates, fmcg.network provides structured capability packages that connect category strategy directly to product data and proof packs.

Primary Package Shape: skill.md On-Ramps

While dedicated retail execution tools are thin, skill.md instructions serve as the primary shape for category and retail skills. These on-ramps provide structured guidance without inventing non-existent APIs:

  • Sell-In Pitch & Deck Drafting: Structure category growth stories, buyer objections, and line review narratives.
  • Category Review & Assortment Strategy: Draft category review decks, incrementality arguments, and trade marketing plans.
  • Retailer Specification Readiness: Prepare product data for retail onboarding portals.

Rows upgrade to full capability packages as live Open Food Facts (OFF) quality audits or compliance proof packs attach.

The Funnel: Draft -> Attach Proof Pack -> Install

[ Draft Pitch / Category Review ] ---> [ Attach On-Pack Proof Pack ] ---> [ Install via /install ]
  1. Draft Sell-In & Category Review: Use Claude skills to assemble retailer pitch narratives, brand positioning, and category incremental volume claims.
  2. Attach Optional Proof Packs: Verify product claim copy against official databases using live capabilities such as US Nutrient Composition Lookup or Customer Portal Spec Filler.
  3. Install Package: Connect the live capability tools to your AI workflow via /install.

We explicitly avoid cloning Amazon Vendor Central how-tos or seller platform manuals. The focus is strategic brand-to-retailer sell-in, category growth narratives, and product evidence.

On-Pack Evidence in Retail Pitches

Retail category buyers demand verified proof for on-pack claims, allergen declarations, and nutritional profiles before granting shelf placement:

Factual Reporting & Honest Boundaries

  • Factual Data Presentation: Tools and skills present database records, nutrient values, and regulatory conditions objectively.
  • Refusal of Compliance Verdicts: AI assistants report source data factually and refuse to issue legal compliance or retailer listing approval verdicts.
  • US-First Scope: Tailored for US consumer packaged goods (CPG) and food & beverage (F&B) retail sell-in workflows.
