What it does
Capital Allocation is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Allocate a finite budget or headcount across competing initiatives by return and strategic fit. Use when asked to allocate budget, decide where to invest, build a funding/portfolio plan, or make trade-offs across initiatives under a cap. Produces a capital-allocation plan — initiatives scored by expected return × strategic fit per dollar, a funded/unfunded split against the cap, the cut line, and the reasoning.
Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/capital_allocate.py`).
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.

- Make trade-offs across initiatives under a cap
Example prompts

Requirements
- Python 3
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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Capital Allocation loads about 983 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 449 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- capital-allocation
- description
- Allocate a finite budget or headcount across competing initiatives by return and strategic fit. Use when asked to allocate budget, decide where to invest, build a funding/portfolio plan, or make trade-offs across initiatives under a cap. Produces a capital-allocation plan — initiatives scored by expected return × strategic fit per dollar, a funded/unfunded split against the cap, the cut line, and the reasoning.
Capital Allocation Skill
Allocating capital is the core executive job: a fixed pot, more good ideas than money, and the need to say no on the record. This skill scores initiatives by expected return and strategic fit per unit of cost, allocates against the cap (honouring must-funds), and makes the cut line explicit — so funding is a defensible portfolio choice, not the loudest voice in the room.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- The cap — the total budget or headcount to allocate, and the period.
- The initiatives — each with its cost, expected return (revenue, savings, or a strategic value), and strategic fit.
- Constraints — anything that must be funded (compliance, keep-the-lights-on) or can't be partially funded.
- The objective — what you're optimising: near-term return, strategic positioning, or a balance.
Output Format
Capital Allocation: [pot], [period]
1. Objective & cap — what you're optimising and the total available.
2. Scored initiatives — a table; score = expected value × strategic fit, normalised per unit cost:
| Initiative | Cost | Expected return | Strategic fit (1–5) | Score / $ | Must-fund? |
|---|
3. The allocation — funded vs. unfunded against the cap, with budget utilisation. Must-funds first, then highest score/$ until the cap binds.
4. The cut line — the marginal initiative that just missed, and what it would take to fund it (the most useful number for the debate).
5. Rationale & trade-offs — why the portfolio is balanced this way, what's deliberately not funded, and the reversibility of each bet.
6. Re-evaluation triggers — what would change the allocation mid-period (a bet pays off early, a must-fund grows).
Programmatic Helper
scripts/capital_allocate.py (stdlib only) does the allocation deterministically — must-funds first, then
by score-per-cost until the cap binds — and reports the cut line:
# items.json: [{"name":"Mobile revamp","cost":300,"expected_return":900,"strategic_fit":5,"must_fund":false}, ...]
python3 scripts/capital_allocate.py items.json --budget 1000
python3 scripts/capital_allocate.py items.json --budget 1000 --jsonShow full SKILL.md (172 more words)Show less
Quality Checks
- Initiatives are scored on expected return AND strategic fit, not return alone
- Score is expressed per unit of cost, so cheap-good beats expensive-good fairly
- Must-funds are honoured before discretionary allocation
- The cut line is explicit — the marginal initiative and what it'd take to fund it
- What's deliberately not funded is stated, with the trade-off
Anti-Patterns
- Do not allocate by last year's split or by who argues hardest — score the portfolio
- Do not rank by absolute return — a $900 return on $300 beats $1000 on $900; use return per dollar
- Do not ignore strategic fit — the highest-ROI initiative can still be off-strategy
- Do not hide the cut line — the initiatives that just missed are the real decision, and the team deserves to see it
- Do not treat estimates as facts — expected returns are usually [hunch]/[external]; flag the confidence
Based On
Portfolio capital-allocation practice — expected-value × strategic-fit scoring per unit cost, against a hard constraint.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Decide where to invest."
- "Build a funding/portfolio plan."
- "Make trade-offs across initiatives under a cap."
