Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Purpose

Help business operators model how AI-driven productivity gains interact with interest rate cycles. Built for CFOs, founders, and finance teams navigating rate decisions in 2026-2028.

When to Use

Planning debt vs equity financing for AI investments Modeling capex timing around rate cut expectations Evaluating lease vs buy for compute infrastructure Building board presentations on AI ROI adjusted for cost of capital Stress-testing business models across rate scenarios

1. Rate Environment Assessment

Current Regime Classification: RegimeFed Funds Rate10Y TreasuryBusiness ImpactRestrictive>4.5%>4.0%Defer non-critical capex, optimize existing stackNeutral3.0-4.5%3.0-4.0%Selective AI investment, refinance expensive debtAccommodative<3.0%<3.0%Aggressive AI buildout, lock in long-term financing AI Disinflation Thesis (Warsh Framework, Feb 2026): Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh called AI "the most productivity-enhancing wave of our lifetimes" and "structurally disinflationary." If correct: Rate cuts accelerate as AI compresses costs Companies investing in AI automation get double benefit: lower operating costs AND cheaper capital Window to lock in financing opens wider than consensus expects

2. AI Investment Timing Matrix

Decision Framework: When to Deploy AI Capex SignalActionRationaleRate cuts begin + AI ROI provenFull deploymentCheapest capital + highest confidenceRates flat + AI ROI provenPhase deployment (50% now, 50% at cut)Lock in savings, preserve optionalityRates rising + AI ROI provenDeploy anyway, use operating savings to offsetAI savings typically 3-10x financing costRate cuts + AI ROI unprovenSmall pilot, debt-finance if <6%Cheap money reduces experimentation costRates rising + AI ROI unprovenHoldWorst combination, wait for clarity

3. Financing Strategy by Company Size

Bootstrapped / <$5M Revenue: AI spend sweet spot: $2K-$8K/month Finance from operating cash flow, not debt ROI threshold: 3x within 6 months Rate sensitivity: LOW (shouldn't be borrowing for AI experiments) Growth Stage / $5M-$50M Revenue: AI spend sweet spot: $15K-$80K/month Consider revenue-based financing at <8% for proven AI workflows ROI threshold: 2x within 12 months Rate sensitivity: MEDIUM (cost of capital affects expansion timing) Scale / $50M+ Revenue: AI spend sweet spot: $100K-$500K/month Term debt, credit facilities, or capex lines for infrastructure ROI threshold: 1.5x within 18 months, compounding thereafter Rate sensitivity: HIGH (100bp change = $500K-$5M annual impact on debt service)

4. The Dual Tailwind Model

Companies deploying AI in a rate-cutting environment get compounding benefits: Year 1: AI reduces operating costs by 15-30% Year 1: Rate cuts reduce debt service by 5-15% Year 2: AI savings reinvested โ†’ additional 10-20% efficiency Year 2: Further cuts โ†’ refinancing opportunity Year 3: Compound effect = 30-50% total cost reduction vs Year 0 Quantified by company size: RevenueAI Savings (Y1)Rate Savings (Y1)Combined 3YNet Position Change$5M$200K-$400K$15K-$50K$800K-$1.5MReinvest in growth$25M$1M-$2.5M$75K-$250K$4M-$8MExpand headcount OR accumulate$100M$5M-$12M$500K-$2M$20M-$40MAcquisition capability

5. Stress Test Scenarios

Run these three scenarios for any AI investment decision: Bull Case (Warsh is right): AI is structurally disinflationary Fed cuts to 2.5% by end 2027 AI ROI compounds as models improve quarterly Your cost of capital drops while your efficiency rises Action: Invest aggressively, front-load deployment Base Case (Mixed signals): AI boosts productivity but creates new cost categories (compute, talent) Fed holds 3.5-4.0% through 2027 AI ROI positive but slower than vendor promises Action: Phase investment, prove ROI at each stage before scaling Bear Case (Inflation persists): AI compute demand creates its own inflationary pressure Energy costs rise with data center buildout Fed holds >4.5% or hikes AI ROI real but financing costs eat into returns Action: Deploy only highest-ROI AI workflows, fund from operations not debt

6. Board-Ready Metrics

Present AI investment decisions with these rate-adjusted metrics: Rate-Adjusted ROI = (AI Savings - AI Costs - Financing Costs) / Total Investment Breakeven Months = Total Investment / (Monthly AI Savings - Monthly Financing Cost) Dual Tailwind Multiple = (Operating Savings + Financing Savings) / Pre-AI Baseline Costs Optionality Value = What's the cost of waiting 12 months? (competitor advantage + rate risk)

7. Common Mistakes

Waiting for "perfect" rates โ€” AI savings compound. Every month of delay costs more than rate differential. Ignoring the dual tailwind โ€” Modeling AI ROI without rate environment misses 10-30% of the picture. Over-leveraging for AI โ€” Debt-funding unproven AI bets. Pilot from cash, scale with debt. Treating AI spend as one-time capex โ€” It's recurring. Model like headcount, not like equipment. Missing the refinancing window โ€” If rates drop, refinance existing debt AND fund AI expansion simultaneously. Benchmark blindness โ€” "Industry average AI spend" is meaningless. Your ROI depends on YOUR operations. Ignoring compute cost trajectory โ€” Inference costs drop 50-70% annually. Time your infrastructure decisions accordingly.
