What it does

Investment Account Picker is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Understand which type of investment/savings account to use for your goal — the tax-advantaged vs taxable question, and which wrapper fits which money — so you don't leave free tax benefits on the table. Use when asked which account should I invest in, what's the difference between these account types, where should I put my savings, or tax-advantaged accounts explained. Produces a plain-language explainer of the common account categories (retirement/tax-advantaged, general/taxable, education, short-term), a match…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Your goal — the tax-advantaged vs taxable question
  • Which wrapper fits which money — so you dont leave free tax benefits on the table
  • Asked which account should I invest in
  • Whats the difference between these account types

Example prompts

  • “/investment-account-picker”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Investment Account Picker loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 191 tokens; SKILL.md has 591 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~191
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Understand which type of investment/savings account to use for your goal — the tax-advantaged vs taxable question, and which wrapper fits which money — so you don't leave free tax benefits on the table. Use when asked which account should I invest in, what's the difference between these account types, where should I put my savings, or tax-advantaged accounts explained. Produces a plain-language explainer of the common account categories (retirement/tax-advantaged, general/taxable, education, short-term), a match of your goals to the right account type, the order to prioritize them, and what to verify locally — because using the wrong wrapper can cost you real money. Not financial advice; account types are jurisdiction-specific.

Investment-Account Picker

Where you hold your investments can matter as much as what you invest in — the right tax-advantaged account can save you thousands, and using the wrong wrapper (or missing free ones) leaves money on the table. But account types are a confusing, jurisdiction-specific alphabet soup. This explains the common categories in plain language, matches them to your goals, and gives a sensible priority order — then sends you to verify the specifics locally. Not financial advice.

What This Skill Produces

  • The account categories, plainly — the common types by purpose (retirement/tax-advantaged, general/taxable brokerage, education/other goal-specific, and short-term/cash) — described generically since names vary by country
  • Goal-to-account matching — which kind of account fits which money (retirement money vs. a house deposit vs. general investing)
  • A priority order — the sensible sequence (e.g. grab any matched retirement account first — free money — then other tax-advantaged, then taxable)
  • The free-benefits check — the tax breaks and employer matches people commonly miss
  • What to verify locally — a clear flag that exact account names, limits, and rules are jurisdiction-specific and must be confirmed

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Your goals — what the money is for and when you'll need it (retirement, a home, general growth, near-term)
  • Your region — the key input, since accounts and tax are country-specific
  • What you have access to — an employer retirement plan/match, existing accounts
  • Your situation — employed/self-employed, and any known contribution room

Framework: Match Money To Wrapper, In The Right Order

  1. Sort by purpose. Group the money by goal and timeline — retirement money, a specific goal (house, education), general investing, and short-term cash each suit different account types.
  2. Explain the categories generically. Because names differ by country, describe the kinds (tax-advantaged retirement, taxable/general, goal-specific, cash) and what each is for.
  3. Grab free money first. Any employer match is an instant return — prioritize capturing it before anything else.
  4. Then tax-advantaged, then taxable. Generally: max sensible tax-advantaged space for the goal, then use a taxable/general account for the rest. Match near-term money to safe/cash accounts, not market-risk ones.
  5. Flag the free-benefit misses. Unclaimed matches, unused tax-advantaged room, and holding long-term money in low-return cash are the common leaks.
  6. Send them to verify. Exact account names, contribution limits, and tax rules are jurisdiction-specific — clearly direct them to confirm locally.

Output Format

Account picker: goals [x] · [region]

Your money, by purpose

This money (goal/timeline)Suits this kind of account
[retirement][tax-advantaged retirement type]
[a specific goal][goal-specific or general]
[general investing][taxable/general]
[near-term/cash][cash/safe — not market risk]

Priority order: grab employer match (free) → tax-advantaged space → taxable/general. Free benefits you might be missing: [unclaimed match · unused tax-advantaged room · long-term money sitting in cash]. Verify for [region]: exact account names, limits, and tax rules.

Not financial advice. Account types, names, limits, and tax treatment are jurisdiction-specific — confirm locally or with a fee-only adviser.

Quality Checks

  • Explains account categories by purpose, generically (names vary by country)
  • Matches the person's goals/timelines to account types
  • Prioritizes capturing free money (match) first
  • Gives a sensible tax-advantaged-then-taxable order
  • Flags commonly-missed free benefits
  • Clearly states account rules are jurisdiction-specific; not financial advice

Anti-Patterns

  • Naming specific country accounts as if universal.
  • Ignoring the employer match (free money) priority.
  • Putting near-term money into market-risk accounts.
  • Missing unused tax-advantaged room.
  • Presenting as personalized financial advice.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Which type of account should I invest through?"
  • "What's the difference between all these account types?"
  • "Where should I put money for retirement vs. a house deposit?"
  • "Explain tax-advantaged accounts — am I missing free benefits?"
  • "I have savings to invest — which account is right?"
