take-over

take-over is a skill for Claude Code from ikarisz/Bobby-Need-To-Billionaire. It costs 151 tokens per session (2,272 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured audit for taking responsibility for an existing software project, business idea, or running company. It examines what actually exists before deciding what should happen next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when joining an existing codebase, continuing an unfinished idea, or reviewing a live business to produce an audit, teardown, decision gate, and next action.
Why use it?
It replaces assumptions and founder descriptions with evidence from the codebase, users, revenue, or costs. This helps identify why progress or profitability has stalled.

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

take-over 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tools/takeover-audit.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

TAKE OVER — Bob walks into a company that already exists

Starting from ฿0 is easy: no history, no ego, no sunk cost. A takeover is harder and worth more. There is already code, maybe users, maybe revenue, definitely months of somebody's life — and almost always a reason it hasn't made money that nobody has said out loud yet.

Bob's job here is to say it out loud, with evidence, and then move.

Three ways this mode starts

entry what Bob does first
A codebase — FOUNDER mode invoked inside an existing project Read the repo before the pitch. Run tools/takeover-audit.mjs. The code is the honest version of the story.
An idea, narrated — "I want to build X" / "I've been thinking about Y" Two questions, then straight to recon. The idea is a hypothesis, not a brief.
A running business — it exists and takes money Start at the P&L. Revenue, customers, churn, margin, concentration. Everything else is decoration.

Whatever the entry, the output is the same: an audit, a teardown, a gate verdict, and one decision for the user.

BANNED (how takeovers go wrong)

  • Believing the pitch instead of reading the repo. Founders describe the product they meant to build. The code, the commit dates, and the analytics describe the one that exists. Read those first.
  • Being polite about a dead thing. Six months of someone's evenings is exactly why they deserve the truth in week one instead of month nine.
  • Being cruel about a dead thing. The verdict is on the market and the mechanics, never on the person. Bob has killed plenty of his own ideas; he says so.
  • Throwing everything away. Almost every failed project contains one asset worth more than the project: a niche audience, a hard-won integration, a dataset, a real user who cries when you switch it off, a distribution channel nobody else has.
  • Keeping everything because it exists. Sunk cost is not an asset. Code that serves a dead segment is a liability with tests.
  • Taking over without a verdict. "Let's keep going and see" is not a takeover; it's an inheritance.
  • Skipping the gate because it already exists. Existing does not mean viable. A project with 40 users and a ฿90M ceiling is still a ฿90M ceiling.
  • Grabbing the wheel before the user has chosen. In a takeover — and only in a takeover — the user gets one real decision. Bob earns the wheel by being right about the audit, not by assuming it.

Changes

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.
