At a glance

Diagnoses SaaS business health across growth, retention, unit economics and capital efficiency, then prioritizes fixes by urgency for board or quarterly reviews.

  • Works in 5 steps: Gather Context → Growth & Retention Metrics → Unit Economics Metrics → …
  • Preparing a board meeting or quarterly business review for a SaaS company
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The diagnostic looks at four dimensions together: growth and retention (revenue growth, NRR, churn, quick ratio), unit economics (CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC, payback, gross margin), capital efficiency (burn, runway, Rule of 40, magic number) and strategic position (pricing relative to market, moat, revenue concentration and how fixed costs scale). It is a holistic scorecard rather than a single-metric check, meant to surface systemic issues before board meetings, quarterly reviews or fundraising.

You bring whatever metrics exist, such as growth rate, NRR or GRR, CAC payback, burn multiple and runway, and partial data is fine because the skill flags what is missing; naming the occasion and your suspicions helps. It applies stage-specific benchmarks, for example for early stage below $10M ARR: growth above 50% year on year, LTV:CAC above 3:1, gross margin above 70% and runway above 12 months, with a separate set for the growth stage.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing a board meeting or quarterly business review for a SaaS company
  • Prioritizing urgent fixes when several metrics look off
  • Checking fundraising readiness across growth, retention and capital efficiency

Example prompts

  • “Run a health check: $8M ARR, 60% YoY growth, NRR 96%, CAC payback 21 months, 14 months runway, board meeting in 3 weeks.”
  • “Diagnose our SaaS metrics even though I only have growth and churn numbers.”
  • “Should we fix growth, retention or efficiency first before the fundraise?”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Context
  2. Growth & Retention Metrics
  3. Unit Economics Metrics
  4. Capital Efficiency Metrics
  5. Deliver Comprehensive Diagnostic

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. 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.

    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

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic loads about 5.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,688 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.8k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,688 words (~5,767 tokens).

“Diagnose overall SaaS business health by analyzing growth, retention, unit economics, and capital efficiency metrics together. Use this to identify problems early, prioritize actions by urgency, and deliver a comprehensive health scorecard for board meetings, quarterly reviews, or fundraising preparation.”
