What it does

Ops Business Model Canvas is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Apply the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to map and evaluate business models across nine building blocks. Use this skill when the user needs to design a new business model, evaluate an existing one, compare business model options, or prepare for a strategy session — even if they say 'describe our business model', 'how do we make money', 'fill out a BMC', or 'design a new revenue model'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md` and `references/value-prop-canvas.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy, Product strategy and 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 design a new business model
  • Evaluate an existing one
  • Compare business model options
  • Prepare for a strategy session — even if they say describe our business model

Example prompts

  • “describe our business model”
  • “how do we make money”
  • “fill out a BMC”
  • “/ops-business-model-canvas”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fill all 9 blocks with sticky-note level detail (short phrases)
  2. Check CONSISTENCY: Does the value prop match the segment? Do channels reach the segment? Do revenue streams justify the cost structure?
  3. Identify RISKS: Which blocks have the most uncertainty? These are your riskiest assumptions.
  4. COMPARE: Map current model and proposed new model side by side

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Ops Business Model Canvas loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 413 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

Business Model Canvas

Framework

IRON LAW: All Nine Blocks Must Be Completed and Consistent

The BMC is a SYSTEM — each block depends on others. A value proposition
without a matching customer segment is an invention, not a business.
Revenue streams without cost structure analysis is wishful thinking.
Fill ALL nine blocks and check that they tell a coherent story.
The Nine Building Blocks
#BlockQuestionRight Side (Value) / Left Side (Efficiency)
1Customer SegmentsWho are we creating value for?Right
2Value PropositionsWhat value do we deliver?Center
3ChannelsHow do we reach customers?Right
4Customer RelationshipsHow do we interact with customers?Right
5Revenue StreamsHow do we make money?Right
6Key ResourcesWhat do we need to deliver value?Left
7Key ActivitiesWhat must we do well?Left
8Key PartnershipsWho helps us?Left
9Cost StructureWhat are the major costs?Left
Block-by-Block Guide

Customer Segments: List distinct groups with different needs. Mass market? Niche? Multi-sided platform?

Value Propositions: For EACH segment, what problem do you solve or need do you fill? Be specific — "quality" is not a value prop. "Same-day delivery of organic groceries" is.

Channels: How do customers discover, evaluate, purchase, receive, and get support? Map the full journey.

Customer Relationships: Self-service? Personal assistance? Community? Automated? Co-creation?

Revenue Streams: For each segment: what do they pay? How? (subscription, transaction, licensing, advertising, freemium)

Key Resources: Physical, intellectual (IP, data), human, financial — what's essential?

Key Activities: Production? Platform management? Problem solving? Sales?

Key Partnerships: Suppliers, strategic alliances, joint ventures. WHY partner? (optimization, risk reduction, resource acquisition)

Cost Structure: Fixed vs variable. What are the biggest cost drivers? Cost-driven or value-driven model?

# Business Model Canvas: {Business}

## Canvas

| Block | Description |
|-------|-----------|
| **Customer Segments** | {who} |
| **Value Propositions** | {what value, for which segment} |
| **Channels** | {how you reach and serve} |
| **Customer Relationships** | {type of relationship} |
| **Revenue Streams** | {how you make money} |
| **Key Resources** | {essential assets} |
| **Key Activities** | {critical operations} |
| **Key Partnerships** | {key partners and why} |
| **Cost Structure** | {major cost categories} |

## Consistency Check
| Connection | Consistent? | Notes |
|-----------|------------|-------|
| Value Prop ↔ Segments | ✓/✗ | {match?} |
| Channels ↔ Segments | ✓/✗ | {reachable?} |
| Revenue ↔ Cost | ✓/✗ | {profitable?} |

## Riskiest Assumptions
1. {block: assumption that needs validation}

Gotchas

  • BMC is a starting point, not an answer: It structures thinking but doesn't validate assumptions. Each risky block needs Lean Startup-style testing.
  • Revenue model is the hardest block: "Users will pay" is an assumption. How much? How often? Willing to pay based on what evidence?
  • Multi-sided platforms need separate segments: Uber has drivers AND riders. Each segment has its own value prop, channels, and revenue model. Map both sides.
  • Don't confuse activities with resources: "Software development" is an activity. "Engineering team" is a resource. "Source code" is a resource. Separate them.
  • BMC should be a living document: Review and update quarterly. Business models evolve — the canvas should reflect current reality, not the original plan.
