Security Scan

This is a coherent, read-only skill that serves local furniture industry data and helper functions with no network access, no credential requirements, and no install steps.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (China furniture industry guidance) matches the included artifacts: SKILL.md describes dataset-backed capabilities and run.py provides accessor functions for data.json. Required resources (none) are appropriate for the stated offline data-serving purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructions are narrowly scoped to querying the included dataset. The runtime code only reads local data.json and exposes query functions. Minor implementation mismatch: run.py references keys like 'subsector_details' and 'sourcing_guide' which may not exist in the truncated data.json sample — this is a functionality/data-quality issue, not a security concern.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided and the skill is instruction/code-only. Nothing is downloaded or written to arbitrary locations during install.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. All data access is local (data.json); there are no secrets requested or required.

Persistence & Privilege

Defaults are used (always: false, agent-invocable allowed). The skill does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills/configs.

Assessment

This skill appears safe from a permissions standpoint: it reads only the bundled data file and exposes read-only functions. Before using it for sourcing decisions, verify critical supplier information independently (the dataset provides company names but not contact-level data), and test the functions locally because some keys referenced in the code (e.g., subsector_details) may be missing or cause errors. If you plan to extend the skill to fetch live data or contact suppliers, require/review appropriate credentials and network-call behavior at that time.

China Furniture Factory Skill

Description

This skill helps international buyers navigate China's furniture manufacturing landscape, which is projected to exceed ¥1.8 trillion in revenue by 2026. It provides data-backed intelligence on regional clusters, supply chain structure, and industry trends based on the latest government policies and industry reports. Coverage includes residential furniture (sofas, beds, wardrobes), office furniture (desks, chairs), hotel furniture, outdoor furniture, custom furniture, children's furniture, and mattresses.

Key Capabilities

• Industry Overview: Get a summary of China's furniture industry scale, development targets, and key policy initiatives (green manufacturing, smart furniture).
• Supply Chain Structure: Understand the complete industry chain from raw materials (wood, panels, hardware, upholstery) to manufacturing and global sales channels.
• Regional Clusters: Identify specialized manufacturing hubs for different furniture types (Pearl River Delta for sofas and residential, Zhejiang for office chairs and outdoor, Sichuan for panel furniture, Jiangxi for solid wood).
• Subsector Insights: Access detailed information on key subsectors (residential, office, hotel, outdoor, custom, children, mattresses).
• Sourcing Recommendations: Get practical guidance on evaluating and selecting suppliers, including verification methods, communication best practices, typical lead times, and payment terms.

How to Use

You can interact with this skill using natural language. For example:

• "What's the overall status of China's furniture industry in 2026?"
• "Show me the supply chain structure for wooden furniture"
• "Which regions are best for factory office chairs?"
• "Tell me about outdoor furniture manufacturing clusters"
• "How do I evaluate suppliers of custom furniture?"
• "What certifications should I look for in mattresses?"

Data Sources

This skill aggregates data from:

• Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)
• China National Furniture Association (CNFA)
• National Bureau of Statistics of China
• Industry research publications (updated Q1 2026)

Implementation

The skill logic is implemented in run.py, which reads structured data from data.json. All data is cluster-level intelligence without individual factory contacts.

API Reference

The following Python functions are available in run.py for programmatic access:

get_industry_overview() -> Dict

Returns overview of China's furniture industry scale, targets, and key policy initiatives.

Example:

from run import get_industry_overview
result = get_industry_overview()
# Returns: industry scale, 2026 targets, key drivers, export value, etc.
