capital-allocation

capital-allocation is a skill for Claude Code from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (910 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan for distributing a limited budget or number of employees across competing initiatives. It compares expected returns, strategic fit, costs, and funding constraints to show what gets funded and what does not.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build investment portfolios, budget plans, headcount allocations, and funding recommendations under a fixed limit.
Why use it?
It makes trade-offs visible when there are more worthwhile projects than available money or people. This replaces informal lobbying with a documented allocation choice.

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

capital-allocation 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/capital_allocate.py), 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.

Capital Allocation Skill

Allocating capital is the core executive job: a fixed pot, more good ideas than money, and the need to say no on the record. This skill scores initiatives by expected return and strategic fit per unit of cost, allocates against the cap (honouring must-funds), and makes the cut line explicit — so funding is a defensible portfolio choice, not the loudest voice in the room.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The cap — the total budget or headcount to allocate, and the period.
  • The initiatives — each with its cost, expected return (revenue, savings, or a strategic value), and strategic fit.
  • Constraints — anything that must be funded (compliance, keep-the-lights-on) or can't be partially funded.
  • The objective — what you're optimising: near-term return, strategic positioning, or a balance.

Output Format

Capital Allocation: [pot], [period]

1. Objective & cap — what you're optimising and the total available.

2. Scored initiatives — a table; score = expected value × strategic fit, normalised per unit cost:

Initiative Cost Expected return Strategic fit (1–5) Score / $ Must-fund?

3. The allocation — funded vs. unfunded against the cap, with budget utilisation. Must-funds first, then highest score/$ until the cap binds.

4. The cut line — the marginal initiative that just missed, and what it would take to fund it (the most useful number for the debate).

5. Rationale & trade-offs — why the portfolio is balanced this way, what's deliberately not funded, and the reversibility of each bet.

6. Re-evaluation triggers — what would change the allocation mid-period (a bet pays off early, a must-fund grows).

Programmatic Helper

scripts/capital_allocate.py (stdlib only) does the allocation deterministically — must-funds first, then by score-per-cost until the cap binds — and reports the cut line:

# items.json: [{"name":"Mobile revamp","cost":300,"expected_return":900,"strategic_fit":5,"must_fund":false}, ...]
python3 scripts/capital_allocate.py items.json --budget 1000
python3 scripts/capital_allocate.py items.json --budget 1000 --json

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.

capital-allocation is a skill published in the GitHub repository mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills (1,449 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 910 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-12.
