dcf-model

A method for valuing a company from its expected future cash flows. It gathers financial information, builds projections, calculates the discount rate used to convert future cash into today’s value, and tests different assumptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create equity-valuation models, forecast cash flows, calculate weighted average cost of capital, run sensitivity tables, and prepare summary outputs.
Why use it?
It replaces a single rough estimate with a documented model showing how changes in growth, margins, or other assumptions affect value. The results can be reviewed in an Excel workbook.

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.

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:

Sensitivity Tables:

  • Populate ALL 75 cells (3 tables × 25 cells) with full DCF recalculation formulas
  • Use openpyxl loops to write formulas programmatically
  • NO placeholder text, NO linear approximations, NO manual steps required
  • Each cell must recalculate full DCF for that assumption combination

Cell Comments:

  • Add cell comments AS each hardcoded value is created
  • Format: "Source: [System/Document], [Date], [Reference], [URL if applicable]"
  • Every blue input must have a comment before moving to next section
  • Do not defer to end or write "TODO: add source"

Model Layout Planning:

  • Define ALL section row positions BEFORE writing any formulas
  • Write ALL headers and labels first
  • Write ALL section dividers and blank rows second
  • THEN write formulas using the locked row positions
  • Test formulas immediately after creation

Formula Recalculation:

  • Run python recalc.py model.xlsx 30 before delivery
  • Fix ALL errors until status is "success"
  • Zero formula errors required (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, etc.)

Scenario Blocks:

  • Create separate blocks for Bear/Base/Bull cases
  • Show assumptions horizontally across projection years within each block
  • Use IF formulas: =IF($B$6=1,[Bear cell],IF($B$6=2,[Base cell],[Bull cell]))
  • Verify formulas reference correct scenario block cells

DCF Process Workflow

Step 1: Data Retrieval and Validation

Fetch data from MCP servers, user provided data, and the web.

Data Sources Priority:

  1. MCP Servers (if configured) - Structured financial data from providers like Daloopa
  2. User-Provided Data - Historical financials from their research
  3. Web Search/Fetch - Current prices, beta, debt and cash when needed

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.
