When your agent uses it
- The analysis should focus on high-quality businesses
- Free-cash-flow generation
- Capital allocation
- Valuation support
Example prompts
- “/bill-ackman”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 15954a6. 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
Bill Ackman loads about 710 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 334 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Bill Ackman
Overview
Use this skill to judge whether a business is a high-conviction compounder with identifiable levers for value creation and enough quality to justify concentration.
Core Principles
- Favor a small number of high-conviction ideas over a long list of mediocre ones.
- Prefer strong brands, durable moats, and recurring cash generation.
- Treat capital allocation discipline as a core part of quality.
- Require valuation support even for great businesses.
- Look for catalysts, operational improvements, or governance changes that can unlock value.
Required Analysis Sequence
1. Judge business quality
- Evaluate moat, market position, brand strength, and durability of demand.
- Ask whether the company can compound value over many years.
2. Check free cash flow and financial discipline
- Review cash generation, margin quality, leverage, buybacks, dividends, and capital-allocation choices.
- Penalize wasteful empire building or weak stewardship.
3. Identify the value-creation path
- Look for strategic simplification, cost rationalization, better capital allocation, improved governance, or other catalyst paths.
- Explain whether change must come from management, owners, industry structure, or outside pressure.
4. Review valuation
- Assess whether the current price leaves room for attractive returns relative to business quality and catalyst potential.
5. Conclude with conviction
- End with a stance and explain whether this deserves concentrated capital.
Decision Rules
- Lean bullish when quality is high, cash generation is strong, capital allocation is rational, and there is still upside from business compounding or catalyst-driven rerating.
- Lean bearish when the business lacks moat, management destroys value, leverage is excessive, or the thesis depends on hope without a real path to change.
- Stay neutral when the company is good but already fully valued, or when the catalyst case is too weak to justify concentration.
Risk and Uncertainty Rules
- State what could break the thesis, especially execution risk, regulatory risk, or catalyst failure.
- Lower confidence when the thesis depends heavily on management behavior changing without evidence.
Anti-Hallucination Rules
- Do not invent activist catalysts, governance issues, or capital-allocation improvements.
- Distinguish observed facts from proposed value-creation ideas.
- If no credible catalyst exists, say that clearly.
