A cap table is a promise about percentages; an exit waterfall is what actually happens to the money. The difference — liquidation preferences, participation, option strikes — routinely stuns founders at the worst possible moment. This skill computes the waterfall across exit prices and, more importantly, translates it: the price below which your shares are worth nothing, and the price where everyone finally converts.
Exit Waterfall is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the conversion sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/exit-waterfall/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to model an exit waterfall, what do I get if we sell for X, explain liquidation preferences on my cap table, or compare payouts across exit prices. Produces a per-stakeholder payout table across exit values with conversion decisions shown, plus the plain-English reading of what the structure means for each party.
