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 this skill whenever the user asks to "帮小白看懂"、"用简单语言解释"、"写一篇入门版"、"解读一下这篇文章"、"财经扫盲"、"怎么看懂这个市场"、turn a 德哥爆款文章 into a beginner guide, or produce stage-4 output of the daily finance pipeline. Even if the user only says "帮我把这篇文章讲得更通俗一点" or "普通人怎么理解这个", use this skill. This is stage 4 of: daily-finance → finance-core-analysis →…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office. 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 帮小白看懂、用简单语言解释、写一篇入门版、解读一下这篇文章、财经扫盲、怎么看懂这个市场、turn a 德哥爆款文章 into a beginner guide
  • Produce stage-4 output of the daily finance pipeline

Example prompts

  • “用简单语言解释”
  • “写一篇入门版”
  • “解读一下这篇文章”
  • “/finance-beginner-explainer”

Workflow steps

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

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

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 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 733 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~149
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Finance Beginner Explainer

Overview

Transform finance-explosive-article-YYYY-MM-DD.md into a beginner-friendly companion article that teaches readers not only what the original says, but how to reason through similar financial events independently.

Pipeline position:

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

The goal is not to simplify or water down — it is to unpack every causal link so a reader with no finance background walks away with a reusable mental model.


Step 1: Read Inputs

Preferred: Read all available upstream files:

  • markdown/finance-explosive-article-YYYY-MM-DD.md ← primary source
  • markdown/finance-core-analysis-YYYY-MM-DD.md ← mechanism and scenarios
  • markdown/daily-finance-YYYY-MM-DD.md ← verified facts and sources

Fallback order:

SituationAction
Multiple dates exist, no date givenUse the newest file by date; state that assumption at top of output
No upstream file existsAsk for the article file or pasted content
Claim in source is unclearMark it as interpretation with uncertainty note

Never invent facts. If a number or claim cannot be traced to upstream files, do not include it.


Step 2: Extract the Original Argument

Before writing, identify and note internally:

  • Core judgment: the article's single most important conclusion
  • The reversal: the "不是A,而是B" insight
  • 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
  • Key numbers: source-backed data with labels 【实】【预】【估】【待】
  • Falsification signals: what would prove the article wrong

Step 3: Translate Concepts for Beginners

For every important financial term, explain it in plain Chinese before using it heavily.

Priority terms to unpack:

TermUnpack before use
风险偏好 Risk appetite✅
流动性 Liquidity✅
通胀预期 Inflation expectation✅
利率传导 Interest-rate transmission✅
贴现率与估值 Discount rate / valuation✅
资本流动 Capital flows✅
资产负债表压力 Balance-sheet pressure✅
风险溢价 Risk premium✅
长久期资产 Long-duration assets✅
汇率约束 Currency constraint✅

Use simple analogies to introduce, but do not let analogies replace the actual mechanism. Always return to the real economic logic after the analogy.


Step 4: Expand the Logic Chain

For each arrow in the causal chain, explain using this four-part pattern:

  1. 是什么 — What does this step mean?
  2. 为什么 — Why does this happen? (incentive / economic logic)
  3. 怎么传导 — How does it affect the next link?
  4. 怎么验证 — What observable data confirms or falsifies it?

Example expansion:

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

Each → gets its own four-part explanation — not just a label.


Step 5: Add Examples and Transfer

Include all four of the following:

  1. 生活类比 — One everyday analogy that makes the mechanism intuitive
  2. 市场例子 — One concrete market example from the article (with numbers)
  3. 举一反三 — One example showing how the same model applies to a different scenario; must teach a reusable method, not just repeat the original case
  4. 常见误区 — One common beginner mistake and how to avoid it

Output Format(MANDATORY STRUCTURE)

1. 标题

Beginner-friendly title that signals "this is your guide to understanding X."

2. 这篇文章到底在讲什么

2–3 sentences: the core judgment and reversal in plain Chinese. No jargon yet.

Show full SKILL.md (290 more words)Show less
3. 小白先懂这几个概念

Define 3–5 key terms used in the article. Short, plain, one analogy each.

4. 原文逻辑链条逐层拆解

Walk through each link of the causal chain using the four-part pattern (是什么 / 为什么 / 怎么传导 / 怎么验证).

5. 用一个生活例子重新讲一遍

Retell the entire mechanism using an everyday scenario. End by mapping it back to the financial case.

6. 用一个市场例子验证这条链

Use a concrete market data point or event from the article to show the chain working in real life.

7. 举一反三:下次遇到类似新闻怎么分析

Show how the same model applies to a different but structurally similar situation. Give the reader a step-by-step method.

8. 最容易误解的地方

Name 1–2 common beginner mistakes. Explain why people make them and what the correct reasoning is.

9. 小白分析清单

A short checklist (5–8 items) readers can use when they encounter similar news next time.

10. 总结

2–3 sentences: the one model to remember, and one question the reader should now be able to answer.

11. 来源与风险提示
  • Inherited sources from upstream files
  • 本文仅供学习交流,不构成投资建议。

File 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/ directory if missing
  • UTF-8 encoding
  • Fallback: If write fails, output full markdown in chat

Quality Rules

  • Preserve source-backed facts from upstream articles; do not alter numbers
  • Clearly separate fact, interpretation, and teaching analogy
  • Explain causal mechanisms; never use "情绪推动" without unpacking the underlying incentive
  • No explicit buy/sell recommendations
  • Do not add dramatic claims for readability
  • Do not talk down to readers — treat them as intelligent adults learning something new

Quick Validation Checklist

Before finalizing, verify:

  • Output explains the original core judgment
  • Every major causal arrow is unpacked in beginner language (4-part pattern)
  • Includes: everyday analogy, market example, 举一反三, common mistake
  • 小白分析清单 is present and actionable
  • Output filename date matches upstream article date
  • Final disclaimer is present: 本文仅供学习交流,不构成投资建议。
