Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

small-business-teardown scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Small business teardown

Nine of the eleven tools return a research framework, not an answer: business_teardown, competitor_landscape, review_intelligence, market_opportunity_scan, pricing_benchmark, local_visibility_audit, broker_diligence_prep, data_source_atlas, compose_report.

Each returns framework, research_procedure, output_schema, quality_rubric and caveats. You execute the procedure with web search. Returning the framework to the user as though it were the finding is the failure mode this skill exists to prevent.

Quick start

  1. Start with business_teardown for one named business, or market_opportunity_scan for a category and metro. Pass the real name, city and state.
  2. Execute its research_procedure with web search. Cite every claim.
  3. Deepen with the tool that fits the gap the research opened:
    • reviews say something the rating hides → review_intelligence
    • "who else is doing this here" → competitor_landscape
    • "are they priced right" → pricing_benchmark
    • "why can't anyone find them" → local_visibility_audit
    • "should I buy it" → broker_diligence_prep
  4. If the business is in the Twin Cities, add the actual records — what the building sold for, who it is billed to, whether it carries a contamination file. See the twin-cities-property-record skill.
  5. Finish with compose_report for section order, executive-summary rules, citation standards and tone for the audience.

Rules

Research fresh, date-stamp everything. Category multiples, prices and review counts move. broker_diligence_prep deliberately refuses to carry a hardcoded multiple table for this reason — research the range and stamp it with the date you pulled it.

SDE, not net income. For any business being bought or sold, seller's discretionary earnings is the relevant number, and what gets added back is the argument. broker_diligence_prep sets out which add-backs are standard and which are the seller's opinion.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
