lbo-model

lbo-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from johnson7788/MultiUserClaw. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,875 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of lbo-model, MIT.

A guide for building leveraged buyout models in Excel, which estimate how a debt-funded acquisition might produce investor returns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create sources-and-uses tables, operating models, debt schedules, cash sweeps, exit-multiple analyses, IRR and MOIC calculations, and sensitivity tables from a template.
Why use it?
It gives the model a consistent structure for connecting purchase funding, company operations, debt repayment, sale assumptions, and returns. It also requires recalculation and supports sensitivity analysis around key assumptions.

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

lbo-model 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to lbo-model — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Environment

This skill assumes headless openpyxl — you are producing an .xlsx file on disk. Follow the excel-author skill's conventions for cell coloring, formulas, named ranges, and sensitivity tables. Recalculate before delivery: python /path/to/excel-author/scripts/recalc.py ./out/model.xlsx.


TEMPLATE REQUIREMENT

This skill uses templates for LBO models. Always check for an attached template file first.

Before starting any LBO model:

  1. If a template file is attached/provided: Use that template's structure exactly - copy it and populate with the user's data
  2. If no template is attached: Ask the user: "Do you have a specific LBO template you'd like me to use? If not, I can use the standard template which includes Sources & Uses, Operating Model, Debt Schedule, and Returns Analysis."
  3. If using the standard template: Copy examples/LBO_Model.xlsx as your starting point and populate it with the user's assumptions

IMPORTANT: When a file like LBO_Model.xlsx is attached, you MUST use it as your template - do not build from scratch. Even if the template seems complex or has more features than needed, copy it and adapt it to the user's requirements. Never decide to "build from scratch" when a template is provided.


CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS — READ FIRST

Use Python/openpyxl. Write formula strings (ws["D20"] = "=B5*B6"), then run the excel-author skill's recalc.py helper before delivery.

Core Principles

  • Every calculation must be an Excel formula - NEVER compute values in Python and hardcode results into cells. When using openpyxl, write cell.value = "=B5*B6" (formula string), NOT cell.value = 1250 (computed result). The model must be dynamic and update when inputs change.
  • Use the template structure - Follow the organization in examples/LBO_Model.xlsx or the user's provided template. Do not invent your own layout.
  • Use proper cell references - All formulas should reference the appropriate cells. Never type numbers that should come from other cells.
  • Maintain sign convention consistency - Follow whatever sign convention the template uses (some use negative for outflows, some use positive). Be consistent throughout.
  • Work section by section, verify with user at each step - Complete one section fully, show the user what was built, run the section's verification checks, and get confirmation BEFORE moving to the next section. Do NOT build the entire model end-to-end and then present it — later sections depend on earlier ones, so catching a mistake in Sources & Uses after the returns are already built means rework everywhere.
