dcf-model

An Excel discounted cash flow model for valuing a company from its expected future cash flows. It discounts future money back to today and includes sensitivity analysis, which shows how the result changes when assumptions change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to project revenue and margins, calculate discount factors and present values, estimate terminal value, and review valuation under different assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps turn operating forecasts and valuation assumptions into a transparent estimate of company value, with formulas that can be checked and adjusted in Excel.

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

dcf-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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_dcf.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,271 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.

DCF Model Builder

Overview

This skill creates institutional-quality DCF models for equity valuation following investment banking standards. Each analysis produces a detailed Excel model (with sensitivity analysis included at the bottom of the DCF sheet).

Tools

  • Default to using all of the information provided by the user and MCP servers available for data sourcing.

Critical Constraints - Read These First

These constraints apply throughout all DCF model building. Review before starting:

Formulas Over Hardcodes (NON-NEGOTIABLE):

  • Every projection, margin, discount factor, PV, and sensitivity cell MUST be a live Excel formula — never a value computed in Python and written as a number
  • When using openpyxl: ws["D20"] = "=D19*(1+$B$8)" is correct; ws["D20"] = calculated_revenue is WRONG
  • The only hardcoded numbers permitted are: (1) raw historical inputs, (2) assumption drivers (growth rates, WACC inputs, terminal g), (3) current market data (share price, debt balance)
  • If you catch yourself computing something in Python and writing the result — STOP. The model must flex when the user changes an assumption.

Verify Step-by-Step With the User (DO NOT build end-to-end):

  • After data retrieval → show the user the raw inputs block (revenue, margins, shares, net debt) and confirm before projecting
  • After revenue projections → show the projected top line and growth rates, confirm before building margin build
  • After FCF build → show the full FCF schedule, confirm logic before computing WACC
  • After WACC → show the calculation and inputs, confirm before discounting
  • After terminal value + PV → show the equity bridge (EV → equity value → per share), confirm before sensitivity tables
  • Catch errors at each stage — a wrong margin assumption discovered after sensitivity tables are built means rebuilding everything downstream

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

dcf-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (238,457 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 12,790 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
