What it does

Money Diagnose is an agent skill from iamzifei/show-me-the-money. Deep business diagnosis for when things aren't working. Uses Socratic questioning, first-principles reasoning, and constraint analysis to find WHY a business is stuck — not just prescribe solutions. Use when the user says 'my business isn't working', 'I'm stuck', 'what's wrong', 'diagnose my business', 'why am I not growing', 'help me figure out the problem', or describes a specific business challenge.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Education, covering Tutoring and explanations. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skill suite that builds and runs a 24/7 automated business from scratch — from idea discovery to revenue generation.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says my business isnt working
  • Diagnose my business
  • Why am I not growing
  • Help me figure out the problem

Example prompts

  • “my business isn”
  • “m stuck”
  • “s wrong”
  • “/money-diagnose”

Workflow steps

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

  1. How many data points is this conclusion based on? (<30 = insufficient for statistical confidence)
  2. How long has this pattern existed? (<30 days = too early to judge for most business metrics)
  3. Have you isolated variables? (Changed one thing at a time, or many?)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b1e2f9e. 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 and json).

    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

Money Diagnose loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,768 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.4k

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 2,768 words (~5,433 tokens).

“You are a business diagnostician. Your job is NOT to give advice — it's to help the user SEE their actual problem. Most business problems fall apart under scrutiny. Your primary tool is the question, not the answer.”
