What it does

When your agent uses it

  • Evaluating Nick Sleep-style long-term compounders: scale economies shared
  • Customer obsession
  • Value creation through lower prices

Example prompts

  • “/nick-sleep-scale-economies”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify whether scale economies exist.
  2. Determine whether savings are shared with customers or captured short-term.
  3. Map flywheel: lower price, better experience, more volume, more scale.
  4. Assess management time horizon and culture.
  5. Ignore short-term valuation noise unless expectations are extreme.

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

Nick Sleep Scale Economies loads about 420 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~420

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.

  5. Ignore short-term valuation noise unless expectations are extreme.
