What it does

Tornado Sensitivity is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Which assumption actually moves the answer — one-at-a-time sensitivity, ranked into a tornado. Use when a model's output is being argued about (LTV, ROI, forecast) and the room is debating drivers that don't matter, or before spending diligence effort: swing every driver low→high and see which one owns the outcome. Produces the ranked tornado table, share-of-swing per driver, and a real .xlsx — via the bundled zero-dependency script with a safely restricted formula evaluator.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/tornado.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel. 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

  • A models output is being argued about (LTV
  • Forecast) and the room is debating drivers that dont matter
  • Before spending diligence effort: swing every driver low→high and see which one owns the outcome

Example prompts

  • “/tornado-sensitivity”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  2. The meeting verdict — one paragraph: what deserves diligence, what deserves a decision-and-move-on, and any driver whose bounds are the…
  3. The interaction caveat — one-at-a-time ignores correlated drivers; if two move together in reality (price and churn), say so and model the…

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

Tornado Sensitivity loads about 919 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~919

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.

description
Which assumption actually moves the answer — one-at-a-time sensitivity, ranked into a tornado. Use when a model's output is being argued about (LTV, ROI, forecast) and the room is debating drivers that don't matter, or before spending diligence effort: swing every driver low→high and see which one owns the outcome. Produces the ranked tornado table, share-of-swing per driver, and a real .xlsx — via the bundled zero-dependency script with a safely restricted formula evaluator.

Tornado Sensitivity

Every model has four drivers people argue about and one that actually controls the answer — usually not the same one. The tornado ranks them: hold everything at base, swing one driver to its low and high, measure the output range, sort. Diligence goes to the top bar; the bottom bars stop hijacking meetings.

Required Inputs

  • The model — output name, a formula over named drivers (arithmetic + min/max/abs/sqrt/log/exp only), and per-driver low/base/high. The lows and highs should be defensible bounds ("the worst quarter we've seen", "the vendor's contractual ceiling"), not ±10% ritual.
  • If the requester has a spreadsheet instead of a formula: extract the output cell's driver chain into a formula first, and show it for confirmation.

Output Format

  1. The tornado table — drivers sorted by output swing, with input range, output at each end, and share of total swing. The top driver's share is the headline ("lifetime owns 33% of the uncertainty").
  2. The meeting verdict — one paragraph: what deserves diligence, what deserves a decision-and-move-on, and any driver whose bounds are the real problem (huge swing because nobody actually knows the range).
  3. The interaction caveat — one-at-a-time ignores correlated drivers; if two move together in reality (price and churn), say so and model the pair as one driver.

Programmatic Helper

Ships scripts/tornado.py — zero dependencies, with a restricted evaluator (driver names + six math functions; anything else is rejected — injection-tested):

bash
python3 scripts/tornado.py run tornado.xlsx --model model.json

Prints base=1.371 · top driver: lifetime (swing 1.097, 33% of total) and writes Summary + Tornado sheets. Requires a code-execution environment.

Quality Checks

  • Swings computed by the script, quoted — never reasoned in prose
  • Bounds provenance is stated per driver (measured / contractual / guess) — a tornado of guesses is honestly labelled one
  • Share-of-swing sums are shown so the ranking's decisiveness is visible
  • Correlated drivers are named and the caveat applied to them specifically
  • The verdict names what to STOP arguing about — the negative guidance is half the value

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not use symmetric ±X% on every driver — uniform ranges produce a tornado shaped by formula structure, not by knowledge
  • Do not read the top bar as "most likely to be wrong" — it's "most consequential if wrong"; confidence and consequence are different columns
  • Do not run tornado on a model whose formula the owner hasn't confirmed — sensitivity on the wrong model is confidently useless
  • Do not let a huge-swing driver with made-up bounds stand — the recommendation there is "go find the real range", not "panic"
  • Do not present this as risk analysis — it's attention allocation; downstream probability work still exists

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Which assumption actually moves the answer?"
  • "Build a tornado chart for this model."
  • "Run a sensitivity analysis on our LTV."
  • "We keep arguing about drivers: which ones matter?"
