Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing the multi-platform story. Windsurf + Aider: - build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules, trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`). Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider). - install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider -> .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies. - One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity. MCP server (new content type): - mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills, search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp). Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents client config. Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF; recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports + install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Financial Due Diligence Skill
Produces a structured financial due diligence framework — document request list and analytical questions — for any investment, acquisition, or significant commercial relationship.
Required Inputs
- Transaction type (acquisition / investment / partnership / supplier / fundraise)
- Stage of diligence (initial screening / full DD / confirmatory)
- Target company type (startup / SME / listed / subsidiary)
- Key concerns (optional — e.g. revenue recognition, customer concentration)
Output Structure
1. Document Request List
Financial Statements
- Audited accounts for last 3 years
- Management accounts for current year (monthly)
- Board-approved budget and latest reforecast
- 3-year financial model with assumptions
Revenue
- Revenue by customer (top 20, % of total)
- Revenue by product/segment
- Contracted vs recurring vs one-off breakdown
- Churn and renewal data
Costs
- Cost of sales breakdown
- Headcount by department with compensation detail
- Top 10 supplier contracts
Cash and Debt
- Bank statements (12 months)
- Debt schedule with covenants and maturity
- Working capital analysis
Tax
- Last 3 years tax returns
- Any open enquiries
- R&D tax credit claims
2. Key Analytical Questions
Revenue quality: Is revenue growing organically? What % is truly recurring? Customer concentration risk?
Margin analysis: Gross margin trend over 3 years? One-off items inflating EBITDA? Normalised EBITDA?
Cash conversion: Does profit convert to cash? Cash conversion cycle? Working capital red flags?
Debt and liabilities: Net debt position? Contingent liabilities? Covenant headroom?
3. Red Flags Checklist
- Revenue concentration over 30% in one customer
- Declining gross margins without explanation
- EBITDA-to-cash conversion below 70%
- Auditor qualifications or emphasis of matter
- Related party transactions not at arm length
- Aggressive revenue recognition
- Growing debtor days with no explanation
4. Summary Output Template
- Revenue quality: [Assessment]
- Margin sustainability: [Assessment]
- Cash generation: [Assessment]
- Balance sheet risk: [Assessment]
- Overall: Green Strong / Amber Acceptable / Red Material concerns
Quality Checks
- Document request list is tailored to the transaction type and stage — not a generic template
- Red flags checklist covers revenue quality, margins, cash conversion, and balance sheet risk
- Every analytical question connects to a specific risk the transaction presents
- Summary output template is completed with an overall RAG assessment
- Disclaimer that this is a framework and does not substitute for qualified financial or legal advice
Anti-Patterns
- Do not present the checklist without tailoring it to the specific transaction type and stage of diligence
- Do not overlook revenue concentration risk — customer concentration above 20–30% is a material risk that must be flagged
- Do not confuse EBITDA with cash — always check cash conversion and identify non-cash items
- Do not skip the related-party transaction review — undisclosed related-party dealings are a common due diligence failure point
- Do not produce output without noting this is a framework and qualified financial and legal advice is required
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Give me a financial due diligence checklist for [company type]"
- "What documents should I request for financial DD?"
- "Build a DD framework for our Series A investment"
