Use for any cap-table number, mechanic, or date before a founder signs, from a single SAFE, note or warrant described in chat or a quick 'is this dilution reasonable?' check to any draft or signed SAFE, note, term sheet, option plan, AoA, Carta XLSX, or spreadsheet. A single question gets a short cited answer in about 2–3 minutes; the full report, about 5–10 minutes, runs only when the founder shares documents or asks for it. Source-cited deterministic math (YC, NVCA, Cooley GO) for SAFE/note…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cap-Table Skill

Model cap-table mechanics for founders so they understand what their term sheets, SAFEs, and convertible notes actually do to their ownership — before they sign. Produce rule-pack-cited math for SAFE conversion, convertible-note conversion, priced-round dilution, option-pool top-ups, anti-dilution, and Israeli ↔ Delaware flips. Every counsel-review item links back to a primary source (YC SAFE primer, NVCA model docs, Israeli Companies Law / Income Tax Ordinance, etc.). Tone is founder-first: a candid coach who's read the documents you can't be expected to read.

## Reliance Boundary (mandatory)

For any eligibility, qualification, or status determination that turns on tax or legal facts the cap-table data cannot settle — QSBS (IRC §1202), Israeli §102 track / holding period, IIA obligations, or any rule carrying `counsel_review` — state the **cited fact** (the date window, threshold, or clock) and stop there. **Never conclude that the founder does or will qualify** ("yes, you qualify", "you're eligible", "strong eligibility posture"). The date or threshold is a fact you may assert with its citation; the *conclusion* is a counsel determination — present it as…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lool-ventures/founder-skills/cap-table@sha256:9b529a261a0dd5fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.b480555, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
