usv-network-effectsA skill your agent uses when evaluating platforms, marketplaces, and networks through a USV-style lens: network effects, defensibility, protocols, openness, and scalable distribution.
Usv Network Effects is an agent skill from questflowai/investorskills. Use when evaluating platforms, marketplaces, and networks through a USV-style lens: network effects, defensibility, protocols, openness, and scalable distribution.
Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `invest.md`).
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.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2844d78. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Usv Network Effects loads about 499 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 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.
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.

A skill your agent uses when evaluating platforms, marketplaces, and networks through a USV-style lens: network effects, defensibility, protocols, openness, and scalable distribution. Usv Network Effects is an agent skill from questflowai/investorskills. Use when evaluating platforms, marketplaces, and networks through a USV-style lens: network effects, defensibility, protocols, openness, and scalable distribution.
Usv Network Effects fits situations like: evaluating platforms; networks through a USV-style lens: network effects; scalable distribution.
Run `npx skills add questflowai/investorskills --skill usv-network-effects -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/usv-network-effects in questflowai/investorskills) into .claude/skills/usv-network-effects in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add questflowai/investorskills --skill usv-network-effects -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/usv-network-effects in questflowai/investorskills) into .agents/skills/usv-network-effects in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add questflowai/investorskills --skill usv-network-effects -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/usv-network-effects, .gemini/skills/usv-network-effects, .github/skills/usv-network-effects and .opencode/skills/usv-network-effects in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Usv Network Effects is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Usv Network Effects is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 499 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
