What it does

Rate Cycle is an agent skill from agentii-ai/agentii-investment-intelligence. Interest rate cycle analysis, Fed policy analysis, yield curve dynamics, duration management, central bank rate trajectory, monetary tightening easing, bond market analysis, rate forecast, forward curve, dot plot interpretation, rate hike cut cycle

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/knowledge-frameworks.md`, `references/modes.md` and `references/wsp-methodology.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Market research. The repository describes itself as: Claude-type skills for institutional equity research — 25 AI agent skills with SEC filings, XBRL financials, earnings calendars, DCF/comps/LBO models, and PPT generation. Powered… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Market research

Example prompts

“/rate-cycle”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Rate Cycle Phase — classify hiking/plateau/cutting/emergency
Yield Curve Analysis — 2s10s spread, 3m10y, breakeven inflation
Framework Application — Taylor Rule, duration management
Analogue Retrieval — past rate cycles matching current phase

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86980e1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rate Cycle loads about 776 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~776
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
