What it does
Startup Business Models is an agent skill from nicepkg/auto-company. Use when choosing or evaluating a startup revenue model, pricing/value metric, packaging/tier design, or calculating unit economics (LTV, CAC, payback, gross margin, NRR), including usage-based/credit/AI pricing and variable compute/COGS constraints.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 and Product strategy. The repository describes itself as: 🤖 A fully autonomous AI company that runs 24/7. 14 AI agents (Bezos, Munger, DHH...) brainstorm ideas, write code, deploy products & make money — no human in the loop. Powered…
When your agent uses it
- Evaluating a startup revenue model
- Pricing/value metric
- Packaging/tier design
- Calculating unit economics (LTV
Example prompts
- “/startup-business-models”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Define success and guardrails (before launch)
- Pick an evaluation design
- Use explicit lag windows (avoid premature conclusions)
- Report an "all-in" view (not just conversion)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1252920. 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
Startup Business Models loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 756 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 756 words (~1,795 tokens).
“Systematic workflow for choosing revenue models, pricing, and unit economics.”
