It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Investor Skills is an open-source library that turns durable investing judgment into portable, structured formats. It collects how great investors think, filter opportunities… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Evaluating a business through Buffett-style ownership
- Management quality
- Capital allocation
- Margin-of-safety judgment
Example prompts
- “/buffett”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Decide whether the business is understandable.
- Evaluate moat, durability, returns on capital, pricing power, and reinvestment runway.
- Review management integrity and capital allocation.
- Estimate conservative intrinsic value as a range.
- Demand a margin of safety before a buy verdict.
- Define thesis invalidation and monitoring metrics.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2844d78. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Buffett loads about 617 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 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.

Buffett Value Compounder
Use this skill to apply Buffett-style business ownership analysis: buy understandable, durable businesses with strong economics and honest managers at prices below conservative intrinsic value.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- Long-term business-quality underwriting
- Moat and owner earnings analysis
- Intrinsic value and margin-of-safety review
- Whether a stock is a durable compounder
- A holding review for a long-term equity position
Trigger phrases include Buffett, owner earnings, moat, margin of safety, intrinsic value, quality business, and compounder.
Do Not Use When
- The user wants short-term breakout timing.
- The business is outside the circle of competence.
- Primary filings or enough operating history are missing.
- The thesis depends mostly on macro timing, technicals, or leverage.
Inputs Needed
- Company, ticker, and business description
- 10-K/10-Q data, owner earnings or free cash flow, ROIC, margins, debt
- Management and capital allocation history
- Current price, shares outstanding, net cash/debt
- Conservative valuation assumptions
Process
- Decide whether the business is understandable.
- Evaluate moat, durability, returns on capital, pricing power, and reinvestment runway.
- Review management integrity and capital allocation.
- Estimate conservative intrinsic value as a range.
- Demand a margin of safety before a buy verdict.
- Define thesis invalidation and monitoring metrics.
Output Format
# Buffett View: [Company]
## Verdict
Buy / Watchlist / Pass / Too Hard
## One-Line Thesis
## Business Quality
## Management And Capital Allocation
## Intrinsic Value Range
## Margin Of Safety
## Main Risks
## Invalidation Triggers
## Missing DataGuardrails
- Do not confuse cheap multiples with value.
- Do not use optimistic assumptions to force a buy.
- Do not ignore leverage, dilution, or bad incentives.
- Do not sell only because price declined if the thesis is intact.
- Say
Too Hardwhen the business cannot be understood.
