What it does
Business Model Canvas is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Build, evaluate, and stress-test a Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder) across all 9 blocks. Use when designing or refreshing a business model, auditing a canvas for gaps, exploring monetization, or aligning on the model's assumptions.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/canvas_template.md`, `references/canvas-framework.md` and `references/examples-anti-patterns.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy, Product strategy and Load testing. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Refreshing a business model
- Auditing a canvas for gaps
- Exploring monetization
- Aligning on the models assumptions
Example prompts
- “/business-model-canvas”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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:
python3
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
Business Model Canvas loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Business Model Canvas
A working Business Model Canvas (BMC) — Alexander Osterwalder's 9-block strategic management template that captures how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value.
When to use this skill
- Designing the business model for a new product or company
- Refreshing the BMC after a strategic pivot
- Stress-testing the assumptions in an existing model
- Aligning leadership on how value flows through the business
- Comparing two or more candidate business models
- Onboarding a new exec / investor to the business
The 9 building blocks
- Customer Segments — Who do we serve? (mass market, niche, segmented, diversified, multi-sided)
- Value Propositions — What value do we deliver to each segment?
- Channels — How do we reach customers? (own, partner; direct, indirect; physical, digital)
- Customer Relationships — How do we acquire, keep, and grow each segment?
- Revenue Streams — How does the customer pay? (one-time, subscription, usage, licensing, advertising)
- Key Resources — What assets are required? (physical, intellectual, human, financial)
- Key Activities — What do we do to deliver value? (production, problem-solving, platform/network)
- Key Partnerships — Who helps us? (strategic alliances, JVs, supplier relationships)
- Cost Structure — Where do costs come from? (cost-driven vs value-driven; fixed vs variable)
Clarify First
Before building the canvas, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:
- Customer segment(s) — who you serve, specifically (drives Value Prop, Channels, Relationships, Revenue — "everyone" collapses the whole canvas)
- Revenue model — how the customer pays: subscription / usage / licensing / advertising (must reconcile against Cost Structure or unit economics break)
- Stage — new model / pivot / mature operating business (determines whether Lean Canvas is the better tool)
- Cost-driven vs value-driven posture — shapes Cost Structure and Key Activities (trying both produces mediocre everything)
Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
Workflow
Step 1 — Draft per block
Start with Customer Segments and Value Propositions (these drive everything else). Then fill: Channels, Customer Relationships, Revenue Streams. Then: Key Resources, Activities, Partnerships. Finish with Cost Structure.
Step 2 — Validate the chain
For each Customer Segment, trace: Segment → Value Prop → Channel → Relationship → Revenue. If you can't connect these, the model has a gap.
Step 3 — Stress-test assumptions
For each block, list the top 2-3 assumptions and rate (high / medium / low) on:
- Evidence (do we know this is true?)
- Riskiness (what breaks if wrong?)
- Testability (can we run a cheap experiment?)
Step 4 — Run canvas_validator.py
Audit the canvas for: empty blocks, ungrounded value-prop / segment matches, revenue / cost imbalance, segment-channel-relationship coherence.

Step 5 — Iterate
Most first drafts are wrong in interesting ways. Plan to revise 3-5 times.
Decision frameworks
Which type of business model?
| Pattern | Examples | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Unbundled | Investment banking (advisor + product) | Different segments; different value props |
| Long Tail | Netflix, Amazon | Niche x volume |
| Multi-sided platform | Visa, Airbnb | Connects 2+ segments; network effects |
| Free / Freemium | Spotify, LinkedIn | One segment pays for another's free use |
| Open | Open-source + services | Free product, paid expertise/services |
Most modern SaaS = multi-sided OR freemium variant.
Cost-driven vs value-driven
| Cost-driven | Value-driven |
|---|---|
| Lean cost structure | Focus on premium value |
| Low-price value prop | High-value, often high-price |
| Maximum automation | High-touch service |
| Extensive outsourcing | In-house excellence |
Most companies need to pick ONE — trying both produces mediocre everything.
Common BMC anti-patterns
- Generic value proposition. "Better, faster, cheaper" — applies to anything; means nothing.
- One segment listed as "everyone." Forces commodity positioning.
- Revenue streams with no channel. How does money flow?
- Costs that don't sum to revenue model. Unit economics broken.
- Partnerships listed without specific roles. What do they actually do?
- No coherent customer journey across blocks. Segment doesn't connect to channel.
Output expectations
After using this skill, you should have:
- A populated 9-block canvas with specific (not generic) statements
- A validation report flagging gaps, ungrounded assumptions, coherence issues
- 2-3 prioritized experiments to test the riskiest assumptions
- References to other strategy skills (lean canvas for startup-stage; value-proposition-canvas for the VP block)
