forecast

forecast is a skill for Claude Code from bromso/metapowers. It costs 67 tokens per session (846 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A financial forecast that projects monthly revenue, expenses, and cash flow from planning assumptions. Cash flow tracks money entering and leaving the business.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to project revenue, spending, cash balances, runway, break-even timing, and target achievability.
Why use it?
It helps answer whether the business can reach its targets, when it may break even, and how long its cash will last. It replaces rough guesses with a model based on stated drivers.

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

forecast 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Forecast

Project the financial forecast for "$ARGUMENTS". Build a driver-based model that translates planning assumptions into monthly revenue, expense, and cash flow projections.

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

Read .metapowers/finance/<project>/02-plan.md. If this file does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 2 (Plan) has not been completed for "". Run /finance:plan <project> first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

Process

  1. Read context:

    • Read .metapowers/finance/<project>/01-assess.md for baseline data
    • Read .metapowers/finance/<project>/02-plan.md for assumptions and KPI targets
  2. Build revenue forecast:

    • Model each revenue stream separately
    • Apply growth assumptions (new customers, churn, expansion, pricing changes)
    • Account for seasonality and ramp periods
    • Calculate monthly and annual totals
    • Reference ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/financial-model-template.md for revenue model structure
  3. Build expense forecast:

    • Project fixed costs (rent, salaries, subscriptions)
    • Project variable costs tied to revenue drivers
    • Include planned headcount additions and timing
    • Account for one-time costs (equipment, setup, legal)
  4. Build cash flow forecast:

    • Map revenue to cash collections (considering payment terms)
    • Map expenses to cash payments
    • Include capital expenditures and financing
    • Calculate monthly net cash flow and ending balance
    • Determine runway and break-even timing

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.
