What it does

Cfo Review is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. /cs:cfo-review <plan — Numerate-skeptic interrogation of any plan that touches money. Unit economics, runway, dilution, capital allocation. Use when a plan commits meaningful spend — e.g. a hiring wave, a fundraise decision, or a new channel budget.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial modeling. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A plan commits meaningful spend — e.g
  • Tasks that involve Financial modeling

Example prompts

  • “/cfo-review”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Burn & Runway
  2. Unit Economics
  3. Dilution Path
  4. Capital Allocation Alternative
  5. Revenue Quality
  6. Bear Case Survival

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Cfo Review loads about 821 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 302 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~821

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.

description
/cs:cfo-review <plan> — Numerate-skeptic interrogation of any plan that touches money. Unit economics, runway, dilution, capital allocation. Use when a plan commits meaningful spend — e.g. a hiring wave, a fundraise decision, or a new channel budget.

/cs:cfo-review — CFO Forcing Questions

Command: /cs:cfo-review <plan>

The numerate skeptic stress-tests anything that touches money. Six questions before any spend or fundraise.

When to Run

  • Before approving any spend > 1% of revenue
  • Before opening a new hiring requisition
  • Before any fundraise conversation
  • Before changing pricing or unit economics
  • Before signing a multi-year contract

The Six CFO Questions

1. Burn & Runway

What's the burn multiple and how many months of cash remain at base / bull / bear?

  • Burn multiple = Net burn ÷ Net new ARR. Above 2x is a problem.
  • If bear case < 12 months, you're already in fundraising mode.
2. Unit Economics

What is LTV / CAC per channel, and what's the payback period on the top-2 channels?

  • LTV / CAC > 3x is healthy. Payback < 12 months is healthy.
  • If either is broken, do not scale that channel.
3. Dilution Path

If this plan requires a raise, what's the dilution at base and bear valuations?

  • Founder dilution per round.
  • Cumulative dilution to next 2 rounds.
4. Capital Allocation Alternative

If this dollar wasn't spent here, where else could it go and what's the expected return?

  • Three alternatives: hiring, product, marketing.
  • Make the opportunity cost explicit.
5. Revenue Quality

What's the gross margin, and how does it trend at scale?

  • If margin compresses with scale, the model is broken.
  • Cost-of-revenue should grow slower than revenue.
6. Bear Case Survival

If revenue is 50% of plan, does the company survive 18 months?

  • Default-alive is non-negotiable.
  • If not, identify the cut triggers in advance.

Workflow

  1. Run the numbers:
    bash
    python ../../../c-level-advisor/skills/cfo-advisor/scripts/burn_rate_calculator.py
    python ../../../c-level-advisor/skills/cfo-advisor/scripts/unit_economics_analyzer.py
    python ../../../c-level-advisor/skills/cfo-advisor/scripts/fundraising_model.py
  2. Answer all six questions with numbers, not adjectives.
  3. Apply the verdict:
    • 🟢 GREEN — fund it
    • 🟡 YELLOW — fund with cut triggers
    • 🔴 RED — kill or revise

Output Format

markdown
# CFO Review: <plan>
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Reviewer:** cs-cfo-advisor

## Numbers
- Burn multiple: X.Xx
- Runway (base/bull/bear): X / X / X months
- LTV/CAC top channel: X.Xx, payback Y months
- Gross margin: X% (trend: Y)
- Dilution this round: X%
- Bear-case survival: PASS / FAIL

## Verdict
🟢 GREEN | 🟡 YELLOW | 🔴 RED

## Conditions (if YELLOW)
- Cut trigger: <metric> < <threshold> → <action>
- Review checkpoint: <date>

## Recommendation
[3 concrete next steps]

Routing

  • /cs:decide — log the verdict
  • /cs:execute — build 90-day plan if GREEN
  • /cs:boardroom — escalate if multi-role implications
