What it does

Idea Generation is an agent skill from rongxinzy/RongxinAI. Systematic stock screening and investment idea sourcing. Combines quantitative screens, thematic research, and pattern recognition to surface new long and short ideas. Use when looking for new ideas, running screens, or conducting thematic sweeps. Triggers on "idea generation", "stock screen", "find ideas", "what looks interesting", "screen for", "new ideas", or "pitch me something".

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: An all-in-one local AI Agent workspace with a fully self-developed stack. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Looking for new ideas
  • Running screens
  • Conducting thematic sweeps
  • Idea generation

Example prompts

  • “idea generation”
  • “stock screen”
  • “find ideas”
  • “/idea-generation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define Search Criteria
  2. Quantitative Screens
  3. Thematic Sweep
  4. Idea Presentation
  5. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9c64865. 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

Idea Generation loads about 960 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~960

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
Systematic stock screening and investment idea sourcing. Combines quantitative screens, thematic research, and pattern recognition to surface new long and short ideas. Use when looking for new ideas, running screens, or conducting thematic sweeps. Triggers on "idea generation", "stock screen", "find ideas", "what looks interesting", "screen for", "new ideas", or "pitch me something".

Idea Generation

Workflow

Step 1: Define Search Criteria

Ask the user for parameters:

  • Direction: Long ideas, short ideas, or both
  • Market cap: Large, mid, small, micro
  • Sector: Specific sector or cross-sector
  • Style: Value, growth, quality, special situation, event-driven
  • Geography: US, international, global
  • Theme: Any specific thematic angle (AI, reshoring, aging demographics, etc.)
Step 2: Quantitative Screens

Run screens based on the style:

Value Screen

  • P/E below sector median
  • EV/EBITDA below historical average
  • Free cash flow yield >5%
  • Price/book below 1.5x
  • Insider buying in last 90 days
  • Dividend yield above market average

Growth Screen

  • Revenue growth >15% YoY
  • Earnings growth >20% YoY
  • Revenue acceleration (growth rate increasing)
  • Expanding margins
  • High return on invested capital (>15%)
  • Strong net retention (>110% for SaaS)

Quality Screen

  • Consistent revenue growth (5+ years)
  • Stable or expanding margins
  • ROE >15%
  • Low debt/equity
  • High free cash flow conversion
  • Insider ownership >5%

Short Screen

  • Declining revenue or decelerating growth
  • Margin compression
  • Rising receivables / inventory vs. sales
  • Insider selling
  • Valuation premium to peers without justification
  • High short interest with deteriorating fundamentals
  • Accounting red flags (auditor changes, restatements)

Special Situation Screen

  • Recent IPOs / SPACs with lockup expirations
  • Spin-offs in last 12 months
  • Companies emerging from restructuring
  • Activist involvement
  • Management changes at underperforming companies
Step 3: Thematic Sweep

For thematic ideas, research the theme and identify beneficiaries:

  1. Define the thesis (e.g., "AI infrastructure spending accelerates through 2026")
  2. Map the value chain — who benefits directly vs. indirectly?
  3. Identify pure-play vs. diversified exposure
  4. Assess which names are already "priced in" vs. under-appreciated
  5. Look for second-order beneficiaries that the market hasn't connected to the theme

Step 4: Idea Presentation

For each idea that passes the screen, present:

[Company Name] — [Long/Short] — [One-Line Thesis]

MetricValuevs. Peers
Market cap
EV/EBITDA (NTM)
P/E (NTM)
Revenue growth
EBITDA margin
FCF yield

Thesis (3-5 bullets):

  • Why this is mispriced
  • What the market is missing
  • Catalyst to realize value

Key Risks:

  • What would make this wrong

Suggested Next Steps:

  • Build full model? Deep-dive diligence? Expert call?
Step 5: Output
  • Shortlist of 5-10 ideas with one-page summaries
  • Screening criteria and methodology documented
  • Comparison table across all ideas
  • Prioritized list: which ideas to research first

Important Notes

  • Screens surface candidates, not conclusions — every screen output needs fundamental work
  • The best ideas often come from intersections (e.g., quality company at value price due to temporary headwind)
  • Avoid crowded trades — check ownership data, short interest, and how many analysts cover the name
  • Contrarian ideas need a catalyst — being early without a catalyst is the same as being wrong
  • Track idea hit rates over time — which screens and approaches produce the best ideas?
  • Short ideas need higher conviction — timing is harder and risk is asymmetric
