Analyze a startup from three perspectives — VC investor, job applicant, and CEO/founder — covering market, traction, unit economics, team, defensibility, runway, equity value, culture, and competitive position, with a verdict for each. Use this skill whenever the user wants to evaluate a startup or private tech company: due diligence, whether to invest in it or join it, weighing a startup job offer, company health, outlook, or competitive position, or open-ended asks such as "what do you think of [company]" or "research [company] for me".

Low-risk findings worth noting
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
The startup-analysis skill instructs the agent to use web search and optionally read external company websites, Crunchbase links, job listings, and press articles provided by the user or found via search, which exposes the agent to outsider-authored free text.
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
README.md instructs installing an external package via `npx plugins add himself65/finance-skills`, which is a common/reputable unofficial dependency.
