What it does
Paradigm Crypto Research is an agent skill from questflowai/investorskills. Use when evaluating crypto protocols through a Paradigm-style research lens: mechanism design, protocol fundamentals, L2/MEV/incentives, and research-driven crypto investing.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 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 crypto protocols through a Paradigm-style research lens: mechanism design
- Protocol fundamentals
- L2/MEV/incentives
- Research-driven crypto investing
Example prompts
- “/paradigm-crypto-research”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read primary protocol research and docs.
- Map incentives and attack surfaces.
- Underwrite technical and economic moat.
- Only then judge token/company expression.
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
Paradigm Crypto Research loads about 436 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 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.

Paradigm Crypto Research
Use this skill to apply Paradigm-style judgment.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- protocol diligence
- L2/MEV/incentives analysis
- research-driven crypto thesis
- Paradigm-style protocol review
Trigger phrases include Paradigm, Hasu, MEV, mechanism design, protocol research, L2 research.
Do Not Use When
- Another skill fits better.
- Critical data for this model is missing.
- The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
- The request is generic hype with no decision.
Inputs Needed
- Asset, token, protocol, sector, or market context
- Relevant price, on-chain, liquidity, research, or adoption data
- Time horizon and risk constraints
- Portfolio context if sizing is requested
Process
- Read primary protocol research and docs.
- Map incentives and attack surfaces.
- Underwrite technical and economic moat.
- Only then judge token/company expression.
Output Format
# Paradigm Crypto Research View: [Subject]
## Verdict
Research Long / Watch / Mechanism Weak / Pass
## Thesis
## Evidence
## Risks
## Action Plan
## Invalidation
## Missing DataGuardrails
- Follow the skill process; do not free-style.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and judgment.
- Define invalidation before sizing.
- Not financial advice.
