performance-ratios

performance-ratios is a skill for Claude Code from adamwstauffer/shidler. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,916 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specification for reading a financial workbook through named fields rather than cell positions. It defines what historical figures mean, where units and assumptions come from, and which relationships a valuation model must satisfy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reading or extending a performance-ratios workbook, or when building a discounted cash flow, WACC sheet, or financial memo from it.
Why use it?
It prevents models from using moved, missing, wrongly scaled, or unexplained workbook values. A discounted cash flow model estimates company value from future cash flows, while WACC is the blended return expected by lenders and shareholders.

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

performance-ratios 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 8d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

performance-ratios

The workbook is the single source of every historical input. An agent reads it by name, never by cell address — cells move, names do not. This skill says what the names mean, what can be derived from them, and what has to hold true for a downstream model to be trusted.

1. Read the workbook first

  1. List every defined name and the cell it points to. Any name below that is missing, points to an empty cell or returns an error is a stop: report it, do not guess a value.
  2. Read the currency and scale of the statements from the Notes tab's Units row (for example "VND million", "EUR thousand"). Every amount on the statement tabs carries that unit; the tabs' subtitles defer to it. An older copy of the template whose subtitles still say $millions is overruled by the Units row.
  3. Read the four analyst assumptions on the Ratios tab and where each came from.

2. Naming convention

Pattern Meaning Examples
BAL_<item>_curr, BAL_<item>_prior Balance-sheet line, current or prior year-end BAL_debt_long_term_curr, BAL_equity_shareholders_prior
INC_<item> Income-statement line, current year only INC_sales, INC_ebit, INC_interest_expense
CASH_<item> Cash-flow subtotal, current year only CASH_operating, CASH_investments, CASH_capex, CASH_working_capital_change
no prefix Analyst assumption share_price, shares_outstanding, cost_capital, tax_rate
startYear_<item> Alias of a prior-year balance startYear_equity ≡ BAL_equity_shareholders_prior
currentYear_<item> Current-year balance or derived figure currentYear_after_tax_operating_income
avg_<item> Mean of start-of-year and current-year avg_equity, avg_total_capitalization
RATIO_<name> Ratio reused in the Du Pont decomposition RATIO_asset_turnover, RATIO_leverage

yearCurrent and yearStart hold the fiscal years; market_capitalization = share_price × shares_outstanding.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
