What it does

Dalio Principles Allweather is an agent skill from questflowai/investorskills. Use when evaluating portfolios through Ray Dalio-style economic machine, debt cycles, diversification, risk parity, and all-weather asset allocation.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `invest.md`).

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 portfolios through Ray Dalio-style economic machine
  • Diversification
  • All-weather asset allocation

Example prompts

  • “/dalio-principles-allweather”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Map growth and inflation regime.
  2. Identify debt-cycle stage and policy constraints.
  3. Allocate by risk contribution across equities, bonds, commodities, gold, cash.
  4. Rebalance when regime or risk contributions drift.

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

Dalio Principles Allweather loads about 487 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~487

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.

Dalio Principles All-Weather

Use this skill to apply Ray Dalio-style judgment.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • all-weather portfolio design
  • macro regime allocation
  • risk parity review
  • debt-cycle positioning

Trigger phrases include Dalio, All Weather, risk parity, economic machine, debt cycle, diversify.

Do Not Use When

  • The setup is outside this model's universe and another investor skill fits better.
  • Critical data is missing and the model requires it.
  • The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
  • The request is only generic market chatter with no decision.

Inputs Needed

  • Asset, portfolio, theme, or market context
  • Relevant financial, market, regime, or structural data
  • Time horizon and risk constraints
  • Current price/valuation or portfolio weights if sizing is requested

Process

  1. Map growth and inflation regime.
  2. Identify debt-cycle stage and policy constraints.
  3. Allocate by risk contribution across equities, bonds, commodities, gold, cash.
  4. Rebalance when regime or risk contributions drift.
