runway-planner
Turn burn and cash into a clear runway picture and a raise decision — months left, default-alive vs default-dead, and what to cut or change. Use when asked to calculate runway, model burn rate, decide when to raise, figure out if the company is default-alive, or plan a scenario with hiring/cuts. Produces the runway math, a default-alive verdict, and dated trigger points for raising or acting. Not financial advice.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Runway Planner Skill Runway is the number that decides everything else. This skill turns cash and burn into months of runway, a default-alive/dead verdict (à la Paul Graham), and the dated triggers for when to raise or cut — so the founder isn't surprised. **Not financial advice; confirm with your finance lead.** ## Working from a brief Given partial numbers, **do the full calculation anyway** with labelled illustrative figures where needed. Show the arithmetic. Never leave it as "[calculate runway]." ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not already provided), else use clearly-labelled illustrative numbers: - **Cash in bank** today - **Monthly net burn** (gross burn minus revenue) and whether it's growing - **Revenue** today and its growth rate (if any) - **Planned changes** — hires, spend increases, or cuts being considered - **Context** — when they last raised, what they're optimising for ## Output Format ### 1. Runway today - **Net burn:** $X/mo · **Cash:** $Y · **Runway:** Y ÷ X = **N months** (to ~[month/year]) - If burn is growing or revenue ramping, show a simple month-by-month projection, not just a flat divide. ### 2.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
