/product-data-import
Normalize raw product data from any format into a reviewable schedule
What it does
Type /as:product-data-import in Claude Code and give it a list of products in any format — rough notes, a CSV, a pasted spreadsheet, or just a conversation. The skill parses everything, keeps only the specs your input or source evidence supports, assigns item numbers by category, calculates extended pricing, and outputs a formatted FF&E schedule.
Works with any product list — missing dimensions, SKUs, or prices are flagged as TBD rather than guessed.
