cashflow-stress

cashflow-stress is a skill for Claude Code from bromso/metapowers. It costs 71 tokens per session (859 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cash-flow stress test that models problems such as lower revenue, late customer payments, and higher costs. It shows how these events affect available cash and survival time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare adverse cash scenarios, estimate runway under pressure, and find the cash triggers that require action.
Why use it?
It helps reveal the risk of running out of money before the problem occurs. It also identifies minimum cash needs, warning levels, and possible ways to preserve liquidity.

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

cashflow-stress 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 yesterday.

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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cash Flow Stress

Stress-test cash flow for "$ARGUMENTS". Model adverse scenarios to understand liquidity risk, minimum cash requirements, and how long the business can survive under pressure.

Arguments. $ARGUMENTS may contain the project name and optional flags. Take the first token as <project> and treat --skip-checks as a flag; never include flags in file paths. All paths below use <project>. If --skip-checks is present, skip the prerequisite check and, before writing any artifact, append one line to .metapowers/finance/<project>/skip-log.md: - <ISO timestamp> — <skill name> skipped prerequisite check for <artifact file> — reason: <reason or "none given">.

Compute with code. Perform every calculation (totals, balances, ratios, variances, projections) with a script — Bash, Python or a spreadsheet formula written to a file — and include the computation alongside the result. Never do arithmetic mentally.

Prerequisites

None — utility skill, run anytime. Works best when financial data exists in .metapowers/finance/<project>/.

Process

  1. Gather context:

    • If prior phase artifacts exist, read them for cash flow baseline
    • Ask for current cash position and monthly burn rate
    • Identify known upcoming cash events (payroll, rent, debt payments, expected revenue)
  2. Define stress scenarios:

    • Revenue shock: 30%, 50%, 80% revenue decline
    • Collection delay: customers pay 30, 60, 90 days late
    • Cost spike: unexpected expense increase (legal, infrastructure, emergency hire)
    • Combined stress: revenue decline + collection delay simultaneously
    • Black swan: complete revenue halt for 1-3 months
  3. Model cash runway under each scenario:

    • Project weekly or monthly cash position
    • Identify the date cash reaches zero for each scenario
    • Calculate minimum cash balance reached
    • Determine how many months of runway exist
  4. Identify liquidity levers:

    • What expenses can be cut and how quickly? (fixed vs variable)
    • What credit facilities or reserves are available?
    • What assets can be liquidated?
    • What revenue can be accelerated? (prepayment discounts, advance billing)
    • Estimate the cash impact and timing of each lever
