  • Works in 5 steps: Extract the Original Argument → Translate Concepts for Beginners → Expand the Logic Chain → …

  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Input, Workflow and Output, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Finance Beginner Explainer is an agent skill from digoal/blog. Explain a finance-explosive-article markdown file for readers with weak financial knowledge by unpacking concepts, causal chains, examples, analogies, and transferable analysis methods. Use when the user asks to turn a daily finance explosive article, 德哥财经爆款文章, market commentary, or finance markdown into a beginner-friendly detailed interpretation saved under the current project's markdown directory.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `test-prompts.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The repository describes itself as: AI,Opensource,Database,Business,Finance,Minds. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/digoal/blog. The licence is GPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to turn a daily finance explosive article
  • Market commentary
  • Finance markdown into a beginner-friendly detailed interpretation saved under the current projects markdown directory

Example prompts

  • “/finance-beginner-explainer”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Extract the Original Argument
  2. Translate Concepts for Beginners
  3. Expand the Logic Chain
  4. Add Examples and Transfer
  5. Write the Beginner Article

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69fb793. 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

Finance Beginner Explainer loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 672 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Explain a finance-explosive-article markdown file for readers with weak financial knowledge by unpacking concepts, causal chains, examples, analogies, and transferable analysis methods. Use when the user asks to turn a daily finance explosive article, 德哥财经爆款文章, market commentary, or finance markdown into a beginner-friendly detailed interpretation saved under the current project's markdown directory.

Finance Beginner Explainer

Overview

Create a beginner-friendly companion article from finance-explosive-article-YYYY-MM-DD.md. The output should help readers understand not only what the original article says, but how to reason through similar financial events independently.

This skill is stage 4 of the daily finance content pipeline:

daily-finance -> finance-core-analysis -> finance-explosive-article -> finance-beginner-explainer

Input

Prefer reading the latest matching file in the current project:

markdown/finance-explosive-article-YYYY-MM-DD.md

If the user provides a specific date or file path, use that file. If multiple dates exist and no date is implied, use the newest file by filename/date and state that assumption in the output metadata. If no upstream file exists, ask for the article file or pasted content.

Also read the corresponding upstream files when available:

  • markdown/daily-finance-YYYY-MM-DD.md for verified facts and sources.
  • markdown/finance-core-analysis-YYYY-MM-DD.md for mechanism and scenario analysis.

Do not invent facts. If a claim is unclear, explain it as an interpretation and mark the uncertainty.

This skill explains an existing article; it should not turn into a new market report. Do not introduce new current market claims unless they are already in upstream files or are needed to clarify a source-backed fact.

Target reader:

  • Understands daily life examples and basic investment words.
  • May not understand macro transmission, valuation, liquidity, or risk premium.
  • Needs reusable reasoning steps, not simplified slogans.

Workflow

1. Extract the Original Argument

Identify:

  • The article's core judgment.
  • The main "不是A,而是B" reversal.
  • The causal chain, usually 触发事件 -> 传导机制 -> 资金行为 -> 资产定价 -> 风险约束 -> 后续观察点.
  • The key numbers and source-backed facts.
  • The falsification signals.

Create a short extraction note internally:

ItemExtracted content
原文核心判断One sentence
反转结构A vs B
主链条5-7 arrows
必须保留的数字Number + source
不能确定的地方Mark as interpretation/uncertain
2. Translate Concepts for Beginners

For every important financial term, explain it in plain Chinese before using it heavily. Prioritize terms that block understanding, such as:

  • Risk appetite
  • Liquidity
  • Inflation expectation
  • Interest-rate transmission
  • Discount rate and valuation
  • Capital flows
  • Balance-sheet pressure
  • Risk premium
  • Long-duration assets
  • Currency constraint

Use simple analogies, but do not let analogies replace the actual mechanism.

Use this concept-card format where helpful:

  • 这个词是什么意思
  • 它为什么会影响价格
  • 这篇文章里它对应哪个事实
  • 新手最容易误解什么
3. Expand the Logic Chain

Explain each link with four parts:

  • What it means.
  • Why it happens.
  • How it affects the next link.
  • What observable data can confirm or falsify it.

Example pattern:

油价上涨 -> 通胀预期上升 -> 降息预期下降 -> 利率维持高位 -> 成长股估值承压

For each arrow, explain the economic incentive and market behavior behind it.

If an arrow cannot be explained without adding unsupported facts, keep the original uncertainty visible instead of filling the gap with speculation.

Show full SKILL.md (260 more words)Show less
4. Add Examples and Transfer

Include at least:

  • One everyday analogy.
  • One market example from the article.
  • One "举一反三" example showing how the same model applies to another scenario.
  • One common beginner mistake and how to avoid it.

The "举一反三" section must teach a reusable method, not just repeat the original case.

The transfer method should end with a reusable checklist:

新闻事实 -> 约束变化 -> 谁的行为改变 -> 哪类资产重定价 -> 什么信号证伪

5. Write the Beginner Article

Use this required structure:

  1. Title
  2. 阅读说明(原文日期、来源文件、是否使用上游事实)
  3. 这篇文章到底在讲什么
  4. 小白先懂这几个概念
  5. 原文逻辑链条逐层拆解
  6. 用一个生活例子重新讲一遍
  7. 用一个市场例子验证这条链
  8. 举一反三:下次遇到类似新闻怎么分析
  9. 最容易误解的地方
  10. 小白分析清单
  11. 总结
  12. 来源与风险提示

Keep paragraphs short. Use precise but accessible language. Do not talk down to readers.

Output

Save to:

markdown/finance-beginner-explainer-YYYY-MM-DD.md

Use the same report date as the source finance-explosive-article file. Create markdown/ if missing. Use UTF-8.

If writing fails, output the full Markdown in chat.

Quality Rules

  • Preserve source-backed facts from the upstream article.
  • Clearly separate fact, interpretation, and teaching analogy.
  • Explain causal mechanisms; do not use empty phrases like "情绪推动" without unpacking incentives.
  • Avoid explicit buy/sell recommendations.
  • Do not add dramatic claims for readability.
  • When using analogies, return to the real financial mechanism immediately after the analogy.
  • If the original article is too thin on sources, tell the reader which parts are assumptions.
  • End with 本文仅供学习交流,不构成投资建议。

Quick Validation

Before finishing, check:

  • The output explains the original core judgment.
  • Every major causal arrow is unpacked in beginner language.
  • The article includes examples, analogy, transfer method, mistakes, and checklist.
  • The output file name date matches the upstream article date.
  • The final disclaimer is present.
