expansion-modeling — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited expansion-modeling (Agent Skill) and scored it 96/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.
Every scanned point with the score it earned and what moved between them.
First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.

TARGET: $ARGUMENTS
If arguments are provided, use them to focus the analysis (e.g., specific market, DMA, territory, site address). If no arguments, scan the current project for franchise territory data, site selection criteria, demographic databases, and expansion pipeline information.

============================================================ PHASE 3: TERRITORY MAPPING AND UNIT DENSITY ============================================================
Optimize territory design and unit placement:
Step 3.1 -- Trade Area Modeling
Define trade areas using multiple methods:
Huff Model formula: P(i,j) = S(j)^a / T(ij)^b / sum(S(k)^a / T(ik)^b) Where S = store attractiveness (sq ft, brand), T = travel time, a/b = calibrated parameters
Step 3.2 -- Cannibalization Analysis
Assess impact of new units on existing locations:
Step 3.3 -- Optimal Unit Density Calculation
Determine maximum supportable unit count per market:

| Traffic count (AADT) | 15% | Vehicles per day | DOT data |
| Visibility | 10% | Frontage quality, signage opportunities | Site visit |
| Access/ingress-egress | 10% | Turn movements, signal, median breaks | Site visit |
| Parking | 5% | Spaces per seat, shared parking | Site plan |
| Co-tenancy | 10% | Traffic-generating neighbors | Lease/map |
| Competition proximity | 10% | Distance to direct competitors | GIS |
| Demographic match | 15% | Trade area vs. ideal profile | Census |

============================================================ PHASE 6: REPORT AND EXPANSION ROADMAP ============================================================
Write the complete analysis to docs/expansion-modeling-analysis.md.
Step 6.1 -- Market Expansion Map
Produce a prioritized expansion plan:
Step 6.2 -- Implementation Timeline
Create a phased expansion roadmap:
============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations) ============================================================
After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:
note data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.
IF VALIDATION FAILS:
IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:

============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY ============================================================
After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.
Check if a project memory directory exists:
~/.claude/projects/skill-telemetry.md in that memory directoryEntry format:
### /expansion-modeling — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
