bom-cost-review
Review a bill of materials for cost, risk, and supply exposure — cost rollup, top-10 cost drivers, single-source and EOL risk, MOQ vs forecast mismatch, cost-down candidates, and tariff/logistics sensitivity. Use when asked to review a BOM, find cost-down opportunities, check component sourcing risk, or sanity-check BOM cost against target. Produces a structured BOM review with a cost driver Pareto, risk flags per line, and a prioritised cost-down list.

# BOM Cost Review Skill A BOM is a list of promises: that each part will be buyable, at that price, at your volume, for the life of the product. This skill reviews a BOM the way a sourcing veteran does — Pareto the cost, flag the single-source and end-of-life traps before they become line-down events, and separate real cost-down candidates from wishful thinking. ## What This Skill Produces - A cost rollup by commodity class with % of total - Top-10 cost drivers (they usually carry 70–80% of BOM cost) - Risk flags per line: single-source, lifecycle (EOL/NRND), MOQ mismatch, long lead time - A prioritised cost-down candidate list with realistic savings and effort - Tariff and logistics sensitivity notes ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided; work with a partial BOM if that's all there is, labelling gaps `[missing — request from EE/sourcing]`: - **The BOM** — part numbers, descriptions, quantities, unit costs (any format; structure it) - **Annual forecast volume** — needed for MOQ math and price-break realism - **Target BOM cost** — what "good" looks like - **Sourcing detail if available** — approved vendors, country of origin, lead times, lifecycle status - **Product stage

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill bom-cost-review --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
