Runs structured consulting-style diagnostic lenses to produce a comprehensive analysis.

The repository describes itself as: Dotfiles. Managed by YADM.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b78c10e. 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 dot).
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
Strategy Diagnosis loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 632 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 632 words (~1,923 tokens).
“Structured diagnostic pipeline that applies consulting-grade analytical frameworks to any business or strategic problem. Seven lenses, applied sequentially, each building on the last.”
