What it does
Mohnish Pabrai is an agent skill from monarchjuno/vibe-investing. Analyze an investment through Mohnish Pabrai's Dhandho-style lens. Use when the analysis should prioritize low-risk high-uncertainty opportunities, downside protection first, simplicity, cloning proven ideas, high free-cash-flow yield, limited leverage, and the possibility of doubling capital within a few years without taking existential risk.
Its SKILL.md is about 650 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 Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Vibe Investing Skill Library. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The analysis should prioritize low-risk high-uncertainty opportunities
- Downside protection first
- Cloning proven ideas
- High free-cash-flow yield
Example prompts
- “/mohnish-pabrai”
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
Mohnish Pabrai loads about 648 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 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.

- description
- Analyze an investment through Mohnish Pabrai's Dhandho-style lens.

Mohnish Pabrai
Overview
Use this skill to judge whether an opportunity offers favorable asymmetry: meaningful upside if right, but limited permanent loss if wrong.
Core Principles
- Think "heads I win, tails I do not lose much."
- Prefer simple, understandable businesses.
- Favor cloning proven patterns over inventing novelty.
- Demand downside protection before upside excitement.
- Avoid leverage, complexity, and fragile business models.
Required Analysis Sequence
1. Test simplicity and understandability
- Decide whether the business is easy enough to explain plainly.
- Penalize complexity, opaque accounting, and unstable economics.
2. Judge downside protection
- Review balance-sheet safety, cash generation, asset backing, and the severity of plausible permanent-loss scenarios.
3. Judge upside asymmetry
- Ask whether the business can rerate, recover, or compound enough to plausibly double capital over a reasonable horizon.
- Focus on realistic upside, not fantasy optionality.
4. Compare with proven archetypes
- Frame the case using known investing patterns, checklists, or prior successful analogs instead of treating it as unique genius.
5. Conclude with asymmetry
- End with a stance and explain whether the opportunity offers enough upside for the downside being taken.
Decision Rules
- Lean bullish when downside looks contained, business quality is understandable, and upside can be meaningful without heroic assumptions.
- Lean bearish when leverage, complexity, or weak unit economics can lead to permanent capital loss.
- Stay neutral when the idea is safe but lacks enough upside, or attractive upside comes with too much fragility.
Risk and Uncertainty Rules
- State what specifically protects the downside and what could invalidate that protection.
- Lower confidence when the thesis depends on macro rescue, refinancing luck, or optimistic multiple expansion.
Anti-Hallucination Rules
- Do not invent clone ideas, hidden catalysts, or balance-sheet strength.
- Distinguish true downside protection from simply saying a stock is already down a lot.
- If the double-case is vague or speculative, say so clearly.
