What it does

Hold Forever is an agent skill from kangarooking/buffett-letters-skill. 用户在考虑是否卖出持仓、评估持有期限,或纠结于"何时卖出"时。 语言信号:"什么时候该卖"/"持有多久合适"/"已经涨了要不要卖"/"什么时候止盈" 不适用于:短期交易决策或投机性持仓的卖出判断。

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `test-prompts.json`).

The repository describes itself as: An AI skill pack for value investing, capital allocation, and behavioral discipline, distilled from Warren Buffett's 60+ years of shareholder letters. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “时。 语言信号:”
  • “持有多久合适”
  • “已经涨了要不要卖”
  • “/hold-forever”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 持仓已经涨了很多,纠结是否卖出
  2. 市场波动剧烈,想"先卖再买回来"
  3. 有人建议"锁定利润"
  4. 评估投资策略时考虑持有期限

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b1fbe1. 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

Hold Forever loads about 413 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~413

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.

永久持有

R — 原文 (Reading)

"Our favorite holding period is forever." (1988) "We don't have an exit strategy — we buy to keep." (2002)

I — 方法论骨架

永久持有的逻辑:

  • 卖出优秀企业 = 放弃复利引擎
  • Coca-Cola 28年:$13亿→$250亿 + 年股息$7亿——任何"高卖"策略都无法复制
  • 前提条件:企业依然优秀 / 管理层依然值得信任 / 基本面没有恶化
  • "我们没有退出策略"——因为退出不是计划的一部分

A1 — 书中的应用

案例: Coca-Cola + American Express
  • 使用: 1990年代各投$13亿,永久持有,从未卖出
  • 结果: 28年后Coke=$250亿+年股息$7亿,Amex=$220亿+年股息$3亿。证明了"不卖"的力量远超"低买高卖"
案例: See's Candy
  • 使用: 1972年以$2500万收购,持有50年
  • 结果: 累计贡献利润$20亿+——如果早期"高卖"将损失巨大的复利

A2 — 触发场景

  1. 持仓已经涨了很多,纠结是否卖出
  2. 市场波动剧烈,想"先卖再买回来"
  3. 有人建议"锁定利润"
  4. 评估投资策略时考虑持有期限
语言信号
  • "已经涨了50%,该不该卖?"
  • "什么时候止盈?"
  • "要不要先卖再低买回来?"
  • "持有多久合适?"
与相邻 skill 的区分
  • 与 compounding-thinking 的区别:复利是数学原理,永久持有是具体执行策略

E — 可执行步骤

  1. 做"卖出测试"

    • 完成标准:如果今天没有持仓,你愿意以当前价格买入吗?如果愿意 → 不卖
  2. 检查持有前提

    • 完成标准:企业依然优秀?管理层依然值得信任?基本面没有恶化?三个"是" → 不卖
  3. 计算"卖出成本"

    • 完成标准:卖出后的税+交易成本+放弃的复利 vs 继续持有的预期回报——后者通常远大于前者

B — 边界

  • "永久持有"的前提是企业"依然优秀"——基本面恶化时应该卖出
  • 不是所有股票都适合永久持有——只适用于真正优秀的企业
  • 作者盲点:巴菲特有足够信息判断企业是否"依然优秀"——普通投资者可能缺乏这种洞察力
