What it does

Biz Dcf is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Build Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation models to estimate intrinsic value. Use this skill when the user needs to value a company, evaluate an investment, estimate fair share price, or build financial projections — even if they say 'what is this company worth', 'should we acquire them', or 'build me a valuation model'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `examples/sample_input.json`, `references/comparables.md` and `references/wacc-calculation.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial modeling. The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to value a company
  • Evaluate an investment
  • Estimate fair share price
  • Build financial projections — even if they say what is this company worth

Example prompts

  • “what is this company worth”
  • “should we acquire them”
  • “build me a valuation model”
  • “/biz-dcf”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Project Free Cash Flows (5-10 years)
  2. Calculate WACC
  3. Calculate Terminal Value
  4. Discount to Present Value
  5. Sensitivity Analysis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Biz Dcf loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Valuation

Overview

DCF estimates a company's intrinsic value by projecting future free cash flows and discounting them to present value using WACC. It answers "what is this business worth based on its future cash generation ability?"

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • User needs to value a company or business unit
  • User evaluating M&A targets or investment opportunities
  • User asks "what's the fair price?" or "build a valuation model"

When NOT to use:

  • For early-stage startups with no revenue → use comparables or venture method
  • For quick relative valuation → use multiples (P/E, EV/EBITDA)
  • For portfolio-level decisions → use BCG Matrix

Framework

IRON LAW: Garbage In, Garbage Out

DCF output is ONLY as good as its assumptions. Every assumption (growth rate,
margin, WACC, terminal growth) must be explicitly stated with justification.
A DCF without an assumptions table is worthless.
IRON LAW: Terminal Value Dominates — Handle with Care

Terminal value typically represents 60-80% of total DCF value. If your
terminal growth rate exceeds long-term GDP growth (~2-3%), you're implying
the company will eventually become larger than the economy. Cap terminal
growth at the risk-free rate or GDP growth.
Step 1: Project Free Cash Flows (5-10 years)
FCF = EBIT × (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation - CapEx - ΔWorking Capital

Build projections from:

  • Revenue growth assumptions (top-down or bottom-up)
  • Operating margin trajectory
  • Capital expenditure requirements
  • Working capital changes
Step 2: Calculate WACC
WACC = (E/V × Re) + (D/V × Rd × (1 - Tax))

Where:

  • Re = Cost of equity (use CAPM: Rf + β × Market Risk Premium)
  • Rd = Cost of debt (interest rate on borrowings)
  • E/V = Equity weight, D/V = Debt weight
Step 3: Calculate Terminal Value

Gordon Growth Model (preferred):

TV = FCF_final × (1 + g) / (WACC - g)

Where g = terminal growth rate (cap at 2-3%)

Exit Multiple Method (alternative):

TV = EBITDA_final × EV/EBITDA multiple
Step 4: Discount to Present Value
Enterprise Value = Σ FCFt / (1 + WACC)^t + TV / (1 + WACC)^n
Equity Value = Enterprise Value - Net Debt
Per Share Value = Equity Value / Shares Outstanding
Step 5: Sensitivity Analysis

Test key assumptions: WACC (±1%), terminal growth (±0.5%), revenue growth (±2%). Present as a sensitivity table.

# DCF Valuation: {Company}

## Key Assumptions
| Assumption | Value | Justification |
|-----------|-------|---------------|
| Revenue growth (Y1-5) | X% | {basis} |
| Operating margin (terminal) | X% | {basis} |
| WACC | X% | {calculation} |
| Terminal growth | X% | {basis} |

## Projected Free Cash Flows
| Year | Revenue | EBIT | FCF |
|------|---------|------|-----|

## Valuation Summary
- PV of FCFs: $X
- PV of Terminal Value: $X (X% of total)
- Enterprise Value: $X
- Less: Net Debt: $X
- Equity Value: $X
- Per Share: $X

## Sensitivity Table
| WACC \ Terminal g | 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% |
|-------------------|------|------|------|
| 8% | $X | $X | $X |
| 9% | $X | $X | $X |
| 10% | $X | $X | $X |

Examples

Correct Application

Scenario: DCF for a Taiwanese SaaS company (ARR NT$500M, growing 25%)

  • Projected 5 years of FCF with declining growth (25% → 15%)
  • WACC 10.5% (justified: Rf 1.5%, β 1.2, ERP 6%, debt cost 4%)
  • Terminal growth 2.5% (Taiwan GDP growth proxy)
  • TV = 72% of enterprise value — within normal range ✓
  • Sensitivity table shows $X range across ±1% WACC
Show full SKILL.md (178 more words)Show less
Incorrect Application
  • Terminal growth rate of 8% → Implies the company outgrows the economy forever. Violates Iron Law.
  • No assumptions table — just "Enterprise Value = NT$2.5B" → No way to validate. Violates Iron Law.

Gotchas

  • Terminal value sensitivity: Small changes in terminal growth or WACC swing valuation 20-30%. Always present a range, not a point estimate.
  • Circular reference in WACC: WACC needs equity value (market cap), but DCF calculates equity value. Iterate or use target capital structure.
  • FCF vs Net Income: DCF uses Free Cash Flow, not earnings. Companies with high capex or working capital needs can have positive earnings but negative FCF.
  • Country risk premium: For Taiwan/emerging market companies, add a country risk premium to WACC (typically 1-3%).
  • Negative FCF in early years: Growth companies may have negative FCF initially. This is fine — the value comes from later years and terminal value.
