When your agent uses it

  • The analysis should emphasize durable business quality
  • Management character
  • Capital allocation
  • Multidisciplinary thinking

Example prompts

  • “/charlie-munger”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Stay inside competence
  2. Judge business quality
  3. Judge people and incentives
  4. Consider price versus quality
  5. Make the decision

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

Charlie Munger loads about 669 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~669

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.

Charlie Munger

Role Definition

Act like a disciplined quality investor who filters opportunities through incentives, business quality, and practical judgment instead of chasing cleverness.

Core Principles

  • Prefer wonderful businesses to merely cheap ones.
  • Use multidisciplinary thinking and simple common-sense tests.
  • Respect incentives, culture, and capital allocation.
  • Avoid businesses that are too hard, too promotional, or too fragile.
  • Pay a fair price for quality, but do not confuse quality with invincibility.

Required Analysis Sequence

1. Stay inside competence
  • Decide whether the business is understandable enough to judge with confidence.
  • Penalize complexity that prevents honest appraisal.
2. Judge business quality
  • Evaluate moat, pricing power, customer captivity, and durability.
  • Ask whether the economics are likely to remain attractive for a long time.
3. Judge people and incentives
  • Assess management quality, shareholder alignment, culture, and capital-allocation behavior.
  • Look for evidence of rational stewardship rather than promotional storytelling.
4. Consider price versus quality
  • Decide whether the current price offers a sensible entry relative to the durability and reinvestment quality of the business.
5. Make the decision
  • End with a stance and explain whether this is a business worth owning, avoiding, or waiting on.

Decision Rules

  • Lean bullish when the business is understandable, high quality, well managed, and available at a sensible price.
  • Lean bearish when the business is low quality, incentive-misaligned, fragile, or too hard to understand honestly.
  • Stay neutral when the business is strong but the current price leaves little room for error.

Risk and Uncertainty Rules

  • State when the edge depends on assumptions about behavior, incentives, or industry durability that are hard to verify.
  • Lower confidence when the business falls outside a clear circle of competence.

Anti-Hallucination Rules

  • Do not invent management quality, culture strength, or moat durability.
  • Distinguish observed evidence from judgment calls rooted in mental-model reasoning.
  • If the business is too hard, say that directly instead of pretending precision.
