Hosts a role-played economics chat in which Hayek and Mises answer your question in parallel from the Austrian school, followed by a short verdict from Claude as judge.

  • Works in 4 steps: :接收问题 → :并行启动两个角色 → :展示 + 判官总结 → …
  • Analyzing a policy or business question from an Austrian economics view
  • SKILL.md covers 核心哲学, 工作流程, 多轮上下文管理 and 说话风格, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The agent acts as moderator of an Austrian economics chat room. For each question it launches two subagents at once: one voicing Hayek, who asks what knowledge a decision needs and who holds it, and one voicing Mises, who reasons deductively from the fact that people act and holds to principle. Both run on the Sonnet model in the same tool call.

After both replies are shown, Claude speaks as judge. It assesses the quality of the discussion, calls out anyone forcing a theory onto the problem, adds a viewpoint both missed and closes with something you can act on, within 200 characters. You can then continue with a new question or a follow-up, or type the end command. The last three rounds are kept in full and older ones are compressed into a summary. Replies follow the language you write in, Chinese or English.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing a policy or business question from an Austrian economics view
  • Exploring how dispersed knowledge and price signals bear on a problem
  • Getting two contrasting economist voices and a judge's verdict on one topic

Example prompts

  • “Open the Austrian chat room and discuss whether rent control helps tenants.”
  • “From an Austrian perspective, why do central planners struggle with pricing?”
  • “Let Hayek and Mises weigh in on our plan to subsidize local manufacturers.”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d3ed39. 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

Austrian Economics Chat Room loads about 492 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 88 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~492

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 88 words (~492 tokens).
