Use This Skill When

The user wants a current read on consumer demand.
The task requires combining spending data, traffic, mix, and promotions into a coherent demand view.
The analysis needs to separate healthy demand from discount-led activity.

Required Inputs

target: subsector, retailer, category, or broader consumer basket
signals: card spending, traffic, units, basket size, promotions, category mix, channel checks
time horizon: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or seasonal
consumer lens: discretionary, staples, value channel, premium channel, online, or store-based
If the signal set is patchy, label the read as provisional and explain which demand components are less visible.

Workflow

Define the demand slice and measurement frequency.
Review spending, traffic, and basket separately.
Assess promotions and mix to judge quality of demand.
Compare value versus premium behavior if relevant.
Separate nominal spending growth from real unit demand.
Conclude on demand direction, quality, and likely next pressure points.

Output Requirements

Focus on demand quality, not just top-line spending growth.
Separate price, units, traffic, and mix.
Call out whether activity is healthy, promotion-led, or trade-down-led.
End with the most informative next datapoints.

Quality Checks

Confirm spending, traffic, and mix are not collapsed together.
Check that nominal growth versus real demand is considered.
Verify promo intensity is addressed before calling demand healthy.
Make sure channel or category segmentation is explicit when needed.

Guardrails

Do not equate higher nominal spending with stronger real demand.
Do not ignore promotions and discounting.
Do not generalize one retailer or channel to the whole consumer sector without caution.
Do not fabricate card or traffic data.

Example Prompts

Build a consumer spending tracker for US discretionary over the next quarter.
Tell me whether current retail demand is healthy or promo-driven.
Use spending and traffic data to assess staples versus discretionary demand quality.
