What it does
Cap Table Explainer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Explain a cap table, dilution, SAFEs, option pools, and round mechanics in plain English with the actual math. Use when asked to explain dilution, model a SAFE or priced round, size an option pool, understand a term sheet's economics, or figure out who owns what after a raise. Produces a worked ownership breakdown before/after the round, the dilution math step by step, and the traps founders miss. Not legal or financial advice.
Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial modeling, Plain language and style rules and Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to explain dilution
- Size an option pool
- Understand a term sheets economics
- Figure out who owns what after a raise
Example prompts
- “/cap-table-explainer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Cap Table Explainer loads about 818 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 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
- Explain a cap table, dilution, SAFEs, option pools, and round mechanics in plain English with the actual math. Use when asked to explain dilution, model a SAFE or priced round, size an option pool, understand a term sheet's economics, or figure out who owns what after a raise. Produces a worked ownership breakdown before/after the round, the dilution math step by step, and the traps founders miss. Not legal or financial advice.
Cap Table Explainer Skill
Dilution math quietly decides how much of your company you keep. This skill walks through it with real numbers — pre/post-money, SAFEs, option pools, and conversions — so the founder sees exactly who owns what and why. Not legal or financial advice; confirm with counsel before signing.
Working from a brief
Given partial terms, work the full example anyway with the numbers provided, and clearly state every assumption (e.g. assumed $1M pre-existing on a $X pre-money). If numbers are missing, pick clean illustrative ones and label them. Never leave the math as "[calculate]".
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided), else use labelled illustrative figures:
- Current ownership (founders %, existing investors, current option pool)
- The round: amount raised, pre- or post-money valuation, instrument (priced equity, SAFE, convertible note)
- SAFE/note terms if any: cap, discount, MFN
- New option pool target, and whether it's pre- or post-money ("the pool shuffle")
Output Format
1. Plain-English summary
What this round does to ownership, in 3 sentences.
2. Ownership before → after
| Holder | Shares / % before | % after this round |
|---|---|---|
| Founders | ||
| Existing investors | ||
| Option pool | ||
| New investor(s) | ||
| Total | 100% | 100% |
3. The math, step by step
- Post-money = pre-money + amount raised (or the reverse for post-money SAFEs)
- New investor % = amount ÷ post-money
- Show SAFE conversion (cap vs discount — whichever is better for the investor) explicitly
- Show the option pool shuffle: a "pre-money pool" dilutes founders, not the new investor — quantify it
Show full SKILL.md (139 more words)Show less
4. What this costs the founder
The single dilution number that matters, and the one term quietly driving it.
5. Traps & watch-outs
- Pre-money option pool (dilutes you, not the VC)
- Stacked SAFEs converting at once (often more dilution than founders expect)
- Liquidation preferences / participation (economics ≠ ownership %)
Quality Checks
- Before/after table sums to 100% both columns
- SAFE conversion uses the investor-favourable of cap vs discount, shown explicitly
- The option-pool shuffle is quantified, not hand-waved
- Includes the "not legal/financial advice — confirm with counsel" disclaimer
Anti-Patterns
- Confusing pre- and post-money (the most common, most expensive error)
- Ignoring the option pool's dilution effect
- Treating ownership % as the whole story while ignoring liquidation preferences
- Presenting math without stating assumptions
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Explain dilution."
- "Model a SAFE."
- "Size an option pool."
- "Understand a term sheet's economics."
- "Figure out who owns what after a raise."
