Security Audit
Low RiskAll 21 static Ruby/shell backtick findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline filename examples, formulas, tables, and slash command references in SKILL.md. No shell or Ruby execution instructions, prompt injection, or data exfiltration intent were found. The only net-new issue is overbroad declared tool access, because Bash is allowed even though the financial modeling workflow does not require shell execution.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Prepare Fundraising Projections
Create a credible financial model with revenue, burn, runway, and funding milestones for investor discussions.
Plan Hiring and Budget Needs
Translate growth targets into department budgets, hiring plans, fully loaded costs, and cash requirements.
Review Scenario Risk
Compare conservative, base, and optimistic cases to understand runway sensitivity and operating tradeoffs.
Try These Prompts
Create a three-year financial projection for my startup. Ask me for the inputs you need before building the model.
Build a SaaS revenue model using MRR, ARPU, churn, new customers, expansion revenue, and gross margin assumptions.
Create a headcount, cost, burn, and runway plan for the next 36 months using my growth and funding assumptions.
Build conservative, base, and optimistic scenarios, then identify funding needs, key risks, and metrics investors will question.
Best Practices
- Provide current revenue, customer, cash, churn, pricing, and team data before asking for a full model.
- Use separate conservative, base, and optimistic assumptions instead of changing only the final revenue target.
- Review the output with finance, legal, and accounting experts before using it for investor materials.
Avoid
- Do not treat the model as a guaranteed forecast or investment recommendation.
- Do not hide weak assumptions, missing cost categories, or aggressive growth rates.
- Do not use stale benchmarks when compensation, CAC, pricing, or market conditions have changed.
