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

financial-statement-explainer 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.

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.

Financial Statement Explainer Skill

Financial statements are precise but opaque to most people. This skill translates a P&L, balance sheet, or cash flow into plain English — what each part means, which numbers actually matter, and the story they tell about the business — so a founder, manager, or operator can read their own financials and make decisions.

Note: this is an educational explainer, not financial, investment, tax, or accounting advice. It explains figures the user provides; it does not audit them or recommend financial decisions. Verify numbers and any decisions with a qualified accountant/advisor. Never invent figures.

Working from a brief

Given a statement (or a few key numbers), explain it anyway — walk through the structure and interpret the figures provided. Where a number isn't given, explain what to look for rather than inventing it. Never fabricate amounts or compute ratios from numbers you weren't given.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else explain generally / mark unknown):

  • The statement — which one (P&L / balance sheet / cash flow), the figures, and the period.
  • The reader — who needs to understand it and why (a founder, a manager, an investor conversation).
  • The question behind it — what they're trying to learn (Are we profitable? Can we make payroll? Why is cash tight?).
  • Context — business type/stage, if it helps interpret what's normal.

Output Format

[Statement] Explained

  • What this statement tells you — one or two lines on what this statement is for (P&L = profitability over a period; balance sheet = what you own/owe at a point; cash flow = where cash actually moved).
  • Section-by-section — walk the structure in plain terms, using the provided numbers:
    • P&L: revenue → COGS → gross profit/margin → operating expenses → operating income → net income; what each step means.
    • Balance sheet: assets, liabilities, equity; the accounting equation; what current vs. long-term means.
    • Cash flow: operating, investing, financing; why profit ≠ cash.
  • The numbers that matter — the few line items and ratios worth watching for this reader (e.g. gross margin, burn, current ratio, runway) — with the formula and the figure if the inputs were given.
  • The story — what the statement is saying overall (healthy/strained, improving/declining, where to look).
  • Watch-outs & next questions — what looks notable and what to ask an accountant.
