Biz Unit Economics

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to assess whether each transaction
• Product unit is profitable
• Evaluate startup viability
• Optimize contribution margins — even if they say does our business model work

Example prompts

• “does our business model work”
• “s our margin per order”
• “can we scale profitably”
• “/biz-unit-economics”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Define the unit: What is one "unit"? (customer, order, trip, seat)
2. 2Calculate revenue per unit: What does each unit generate?
3. 3Calculate variable cost per unit: What does each unit cost?
4. 4Calculate contribution margin: Revenue - Variable cost
5. 5Layer fixed costs: At what volume do you cover fixed costs? (→ break-even)
6. 6Assess scalability: Do unit economics improve or degrade at 10x volume?

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 Unit Economics loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 451 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~98

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

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

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.

biz-unit-economics

description

Analyze unit economics to evaluate per-unit profitability and business model scalability. Use this skill when the user needs to assess whether each transaction, customer, or product unit is profitable, evaluate startup viability, or optimize contribution margins — even if they say 'does our business model work', 'what's our margin per order', or 'can we scale profitably'.

IRON LAW: If Unit Economics Are Negative, Growth = Faster Death

Scaling a business with negative unit economics means losing more money
faster. "We'll make it up in volume" only works if variable costs per unit
decrease with scale (economies of scale). If they don't, more volume = more losses.

Prove unit economics are positive BEFORE investing in growth.

# Unit Economics: {Business}

## Unit Definition
- Unit: {customer / order / trip}
- Time period: {monthly / per-transaction}

## Per-Unit Economics
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Revenue per unit | ${X} |
| Variable cost per unit | ${X} |
| Contribution margin | ${X} ({X%}) |

## Scalability Assessment
| Volume | Unit Revenue | Unit Cost | CM | Notes |
|--------|-------------|-----------|-----|-------|
| Current ({N}) | ${X} | ${X} | {X%} | baseline |
| 3x ({N}) | ${X} | ${X} | {X%} | {economies of scale?} |
| 10x ({N}) | ${X} | ${X} | {X%} | {what changes?} |

## Verdict
{Positive/negative unit economics, scalability assessment, key lever to improve}
