What This Skill Does

The Equity skill is a specialized toolset designed for founders, financial analysts, and startup operators to manage the complexities of ownership. It provides a robust command-line interface for modeling cap tables, calculating dilution after funding rounds, and structuring vesting schedules for early hires. By operating locally, it ensures that your sensitive financial information remains secure while providing the power to perform complex equity computations without external dependencies.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain1/equity

Once installed, you can verify its readiness by running equity status to ensure the default directory is initialized properly.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for scenarios where equity math is required. Common use cases include:

• Fundraising Prep: Calculating how much a Series A round will dilute current shareholders.
• Talent Acquisition: Modeling 4-year vesting schedules with a one-year cliff for new engineering hires.
• Option Pricing: Determining the potential impact of an employee stock option pool on existing equity stakes.
• Compliance & Reporting: Maintaining an accurate ledger of all share classes, which can be exported in JSON or CSV for accounting purposes.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, use the equity skill to add a new 10% option pool and calculate the dilution impact on my current 50% stake."
2. "Run the equity model for our seed round and export the resulting cap table to a CSV file named seed_round_cap.csv."
3. "Can you help me build a vesting schedule for a new advisor with a 2-year vesting period and no cliff using the equity skill?"

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: Because the skill stores data in ~/.local/share/equity/, ensure you back up this directory regularly to prevent data loss.
• Versioning: If you are managing multiple startups, use the EQUITY_DIR environment variable to switch between different data contexts seamlessly.
• Precision: While the skill is highly accurate for standard models, always verify final cap tables with legal counsel before filing official documents.
• Scope: This tool is intended for estimation and tracking purposes; it does not interface with banking APIs or legal document generation services.
