What it does

Runway Burn Analysis is an agent skill from ahmadvh/octochains. Extracts explicit financial metrics to mathematically evaluate cash runway and margin viability.

When your agent uses it

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “Use the runway-burn-analysis skill to extract explicit financial metrics to mathematically evaluate cash runway and margin viability”
  • “/runway-burn-analysis”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Capital Mathematics: Extract the Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), and Monthly Burn Rate. If any metric is…
  2. Runway Calculation: Calculate the exact runway timeline (in months) before the company reaches zero cash, assuming no new funding.
  3. Margin Risk Assessment: Identify structural costs (e.g., cloud infrastructure, massive sales teams) that fundamentally threaten the profit…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3512a57. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Runway Burn Analysis loads about 344 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~344

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 156 words (~344 tokens).

“Evaluate the provided business dossier strictly from the perspective of financial survival and capital efficiency. Ignore product vision, marketing hype, or technical elegance.”
