What it does

Climate Tech Advisor is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Strategic advisory for climate-tech founders on carbon markets, GHG accounting, climate regulation, and funding. Use when scoping a climate-tech idea or picking a category, or mentioning climate, carbon, GHG, ESG, IRA, DOE, or net-zero.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/climate_impact_assessment.md`, `references/climate_categories.md` and `references/climate_funding_sources.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Scoping a climate-tech idea
  • Picking a category
  • Mentioning climate

Example prompts

  • “/climate-tech-advisor”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run estimator on business description
  2. Cross-reference with references/climate_categories.md
  3. Identify market category (energy, industry, transport, food/ag, buildings, CDR, software/data)
  4. Plan a path to verifiable impact measurement

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9a1487. 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

Climate Tech Advisor loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 469 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
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
~6.7k

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.

Climate-Tech Advisor

Strategic frameworks for climate-tech founders, operators, and product leaders.

Disclaimer: Frameworks only. Climate compliance, carbon accounting, and verification require qualified specialists. Engage GHG / climate counsel and verifiers for binding decisions.


Keywords

climate, climate-tech, climate tech, carbon, GHG, greenhouse gas, scope 1, scope 2, scope 3, ESG, IRA, DOE, CSRD, SEC climate rule, net zero, decarbonization, carbon removal, CDR, EU Green Deal, taxonomy, MRV


Quick Start

bash
python scripts/carbon_impact_estimator.py business_description.txt

Estimates rough order-of-magnitude carbon impact category and surfaces verification considerations. Not a verified carbon accounting result.


Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Category and Impact Sizing
  1. Run estimator on business description
  2. Cross-reference with references/climate_categories.md
  3. Identify market category (energy, industry, transport, food/ag, buildings, CDR, software/data)
  4. Plan a path to verifiable impact measurement

Time Estimate: 4-8 weeks for first sizing.

Workflow 2: Funding Strategy
  1. Read references/climate_funding_sources.md
  2. Map to your stage and category: DOE, IRA tax credits, USDA, EU Green Deal, climate-focused VC
  3. Sequence: most climate-tech blends grants + dilutive equity + (later) project finance
  4. Plan grant capacity (grants take time and writing skill)

Time Estimate: Continuous.

Workflow 3: GHG Accounting for Customers
  1. Many climate-tech products require demonstrating GHG impact for their customers
  2. Read references/ghg_accounting_basics.md
  3. Understand Scope 1/2/3 boundaries; pick the boundaries your product affects
  4. Plan MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) approach
  5. For customers facing CSRD, SEC climate rule, or voluntary frameworks: align reporting

Time Estimate: 6-12 weeks for first robust MRV plan.


Tools

carbon_impact_estimator.py

Classifies a business description into climate categories and provides order-of-magnitude impact ranges and verification considerations.

bash
python scripts/carbon_impact_estimator.py description.txt
python scripts/carbon_impact_estimator.py description.txt --json

This is a categorization tool, not a verified carbon-accounting calculator. Real GHG accounting requires methodology selection, data collection, and (for credit issuance) third-party verification.

Reference Guides

  • references/climate_categories.md — Categories overview, market sizing intuition, common business model patterns
  • references/climate_funding_sources.md — Grants (DOE, USDA, NSF), tax credits (IRA), prizes, climate VC
  • references/ghg_accounting_basics.md — Scope 1/2/3, GHG Protocol, methodologies, MRV, verification

Templates

  • assets/climate_impact_assessment.md — Document template for capturing category, impact estimate, and MRV plan

Best Practices

  • Quantify in tons, not adjectives. "Significant climate impact" means nothing. "1 Mt CO2e abated annually at $50/ton" is a real claim.
  • Pick a verifiable methodology. Voluntary carbon markets (Verra, Gold Standard, Puro.earth, Isometric) have specific methodologies. Pick before building.
  • Avoid greenwashing. Lifecycle assessment (LCA) often shows products are 20-50% less green than initial claims. Be honest in modeling.
  • Plan for IRA / IRA expiration. US IRA tax credits drove much of the 2023-2025 climate-tech boom. Policy can shift; build for value beyond subsidy where possible.
  • Customer-side ESG reporting matters. Selling to a CSRD-reporting customer requires you to provide audit-grade data on Scope 3 — this is a competitive advantage if you're ready and a deal-killer if you're not.

Integration Points

  • Pairs with c-level-advisor/cfo-advisor — climate-tech often combines grant + equity + project finance
  • Pairs with legal/ — IRA tax-credit qualification, carbon-credit contracts
  • Pairs with ra-qm-team/ — some categories overlap with regulated industries (chemicals, energy, food)
