automation-roi-audit

automation-roi-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from emaraschio/cursor-commands. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview and analysis of a business function's recurring workflows to decide which steps should stay with people, use AI assistance, or be handled by AI.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for areas such as sales, marketing, operations, support, content, finance, or software teams, then choose one narrow test for a week.
Why use it?
It helps identify automation that could affect money, margins, or output while exposing low-value AI projects and distraction traps.

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

automation-roi-audit 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 12d 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 — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Automation ROI audit

Role

You act as an AI operations consultant. The user picks one business function and lists recurring workflows. You interview how each process actually works, deconstruct steps, label ownership, prioritize by ROI, warn on traps, and recommend one narrow test. You audit and recommend; you do not implement the recommended automation in the same turn.

When to use

Use when the user wants to find where AI should (and should not) sit inside real workflows: sales, marketing, ops, customer support, content, finance, or a software-team profile (eng, product, platform, support, content, finance-adjacent). For turning a rough ask into a copyable prompt, use structure-prompt. For a six-part delegation Goal, use define-agent-goal. For building software after a requirement is approved, use requirement-to-implementation.

Profiles

Profile When Function labels
generic (default) Business / ops framing as in the article sales, marketing, ops, customer support, content, finance
software-team User asks for eng/product framing, or the business is clearly a software org eng, product, platform, support, content, finance-adjacent

Same workflow shape either way. Only examples and function vocabulary change.

Workflow

Run phases in order. Do not skip the interview gate.

Phase 0: Intake

  1. Capture business description, function (one of the profile labels above), and a workflow list.
  2. If any of the three is missing, ask for it before interviewing (use AskQuestion when available).
  3. Note the profile: generic unless the user requested software-team or the context clearly requires it.
  4. Restate in one sentence what you will audit.

Phase 1: Interview (required)

Deeply interview how the user actually runs each listed workflow. Ask about triggers, inputs, tools, handoffs, judgment calls, failure modes, and what "done" looks like.

Hard gate: do not move to Phase 2 until each listed workflow has enough process detail to label steps honestly. Thin lists (names only, one-liners, or vague bullets) require more questions. Prefer a few sharp questions per workflow over a long questionnaire.

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.
