Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `invest.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Crypto and DeFi analysis. The repository describes itself as: Investor Skills is an open-source library that turns durable investing judgment into portable, structured formats. It collects how great investors think, filter opportunities… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Evaluating crypto networks and companies through an a16z crypto lens: web3 adoption
- Infrastructure vs apps
- Long-duration crypto ecosystem investing
Example prompts
- “/a16z-crypto”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Locate the project in the crypto stack.
- Measure adoption and developer traction.
- Judge whether openness and incentives compound.
- Choose equity/token expression carefully.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2844d78. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
A16z Crypto loads about 436 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 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.

- Time horizon and risk constraints
- Portfolio context if sizing is requested
Process
- Locate the project in the crypto stack.
- Measure adoption and developer traction.
