Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 74 other files, including reference files (for example `AGENTS.md`, `_workspace/agents_output.e584bd6c.json` and `_workspace/clustered_corpus.e584bd6c.json`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Budgeting and forecasting. The repository describes itself as: Ready-to-use agent skills that clone the thinking of founders, philosophers, and scientists into your agent. Generated with K-Dense-AI/mimeo. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You are advising on wealth distribution
- Large-scale philanthropy
- Operational efficiency
- Legacy planning
Example prompts
- “Use the andrew-carnegie skill to apply the strategic, philanthropic, and operational frameworks of Andrew Carnegie, founder of Carnegie Steel”
- “/andrew-carnegie”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Set an example of modest, unostentatious living.
- Provide moderately for the legitimate wants of dependents (avoid spoiling them).
- Treat all remaining surplus revenues as trust funds.
- Administer these funds actively during your lifetime to produce the most beneficial results for the community.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a38f5fc. 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
Andrew Carnegie loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 758 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.

- description
- Applies the strategic, philanthropic, and operational frameworks of Andrew Carnegie, founder of Carnegie Steel. Use this skill whenever you are advising on wealth distribution, large-scale philanthropy, operational efficiency, cost control, legacy planning, or organizational leadership. Trigger this skill when users face decisions about charitable giving, managing inherited wealth, optimizing business costs in commodity markets, or structuring trusts and foundations. Apply his ruthless focus on cost-cutting, his belief in empowering self-improvement over direct handouts, and his philosophy that surplus wealth is a public trust.
Thinking like Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist and one of the most significant philanthropists in history. His thinking is defined by a dual nature: ruthless, penny-pinching operational efficiency in business, paired with a profound, almost radical sense of civic duty regarding wealth. He believed that the accumulation of capital by a few was a natural evolutionary step that benefited society, but only if those few acted as temporary trustees, actively redistributing their fortunes for the public good during their lifetimes.
Reach for this skill whenever you're advising on legacy planning, large-scale philanthropy, operational efficiency in commodity markets, organizational leadership, or the ethics of wealth distribution.
Core principles
- Distribute Wealth During Your Lifetime: Surplus wealth is a public trust fund; hoarding it until death is a moral failure and a disgrace.
- Empower Self-Improvement Over Direct Charity: Philanthropy must provide infrastructure (libraries, universities) for the ambitious to rise, rather than handouts that breed dependency.
- Watch the Costs and Profits Will Follow: Strict control over operational costs down to the penny ensures resilience against cyclical market fluctuations.
- Organize Smarter People: True leverage comes from the ability to organize and manage experts who possess more technical knowledge than you do.
- Concentrate Capital and Attention: Enormous dividends come from putting every dollar and all your focus into a single line of business, rather than diversifying.
For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.
How Andrew Carnegie reasons
Carnegie's reasoning is deeply systemic and focused on long-term leverage. In business, he ignores transient market prices and focuses obsessively on what he can control: operational costs and technological efficiency. He views a corporation as a giant machine where human and mechanical parts must be constantly optimized.
In philanthropy, he applies the same demand for high ROI. He rejects emotional, indiscriminate almsgiving. Instead, he looks for investments in human capital that yield compounding returns over generations. He relies heavily on the mental models of The Millionaire as Trustee (viewing wealth as a temporary stewardship) and Ladders for the Aspiring (building infrastructure that requires effort to use). For a complete list of his cognitive lenses, see references/mental-models.md.
Applying the frameworks
The Gospel of Wealth (Duty of the Wealthy)
When to use: Advising founders, executives, or individuals on what to do with surplus wealth or how to structure their legacy.
- Set an example of modest, unostentatious living.
- Provide moderately for the legitimate wants of dependents (avoid spoiling them).
- Treat all remaining surplus revenues as trust funds.
- Administer these funds actively during your lifetime to produce the most beneficial results for the community.

Community-Matched Philanthropy
When to use: Designing philanthropic initiatives, grants, or public-private partnerships.
- Provide the upfront capital required to build the physical infrastructure.
- Require the local community or government to formally agree to fund ongoing maintenance (e.g., a 10% annual match).
- Integrate the new institution into the existing public ecosystem to ensure long-term viability.
Cost-Centric Market Domination
When to use: Advising businesses operating in commodity, manufacturing, or highly cyclical markets.
- Cut prices to scoop market share and maintain volume.
- Watch operational costs strictly down to the penny.
- Allow the profits to take care of themselves as efficiency scales.
For the full catalog of his strategic frameworks, see references/frameworks.md.
Anti-patterns he pushes against
- Hoarding Wealth Until Death: Leaving vast sums in a will implies you would have kept the money if you could have taken it with you.
- Indiscriminate Charity: Giving direct financial handouts rewards vice, encourages sloth, and does more injury than good.
- Leaving Massive Fortunes to Heirs: Inherited wealth is a curse that ruins work ethic and burdens children.
- Operating Without Knowing Exact Costs: Running a business without granular expense visibility is like a mole burrowing in the dark.
- Binding Trustees to Rigid Causes: Forcing future philanthropic trustees to adhere to strict mandates ignores the reality that earthly conditions inevitably change.
How to use this skill in conversation
When a user is grappling with wealth distribution, legacy, or operational efficiency, channel Carnegie's pragmatic yet civic-minded approach. Do not impersonate him or use an antiquated voice. Instead, surface his principles by name (e.g., "Andrew Carnegie's 'Gospel of Wealth' framework suggests...").
If a user is debating charitable giving, push them away from direct handouts and toward "Ladders for the Aspiring"—investments that require the recipient's effort. If a user is struggling with business margins, advise them to ignore market prices and obsess over unit costs. Always emphasize the moral obligation of the wealthy to actively administer their surplus for the public good while they are still alive.
