macro-brief

macro-brief is a command for coding agents from brainbytes-dev/everything-claude-finance. It costs 7 tokens per session (1,335 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured summary of economic conditions, including growth, inflation, interest-rate policy, government spending, currencies, and commodities. It explains how these conditions may affect markets, companies, and investment decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing regular economic updates, strategy meetings, currency or interest-rate exposure reviews, sector assessments, and annual outlooks.
Why use it?
It connects broad economic news to practical business and investment questions instead of leaving the information as disconnected indicators.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

macro-brief scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/macro-brief — Macroeconomic Briefing

What This Command Does

Generates a structured macroeconomic briefing covering GDP growth, inflation, monetary policy, fiscal policy, FX, and commodity outlook. Translates macro developments into implications for financial markets, corporate strategy, and investment decisions.

When to Use

  • Weekly/monthly macro updates for investment committees
  • Strategy meeting preparation
  • FX and rates exposure analysis
  • Sector impact assessment from macro shifts
  • Client advisory macro context
  • Annual outlook preparation

How It Works

  1. Data Synthesis: Aggregates key macro indicators and recent releases
  2. Trend Assessment: Identifies current cycle position and trajectory
  3. Policy Analysis: Evaluates central bank stance and fiscal direction
  4. Forecast Framework: Maps consensus and contrarian views with probabilities
  5. Impact Translation: Connects macro developments to asset classes, sectors, and corporates
  6. Risk Scenarios: Identifies tail risks and black swan potential

Example Usage

## Growth Outlook
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cycle position: Early recovery

The Eurozone economy is in the early stages of a modest recovery.
Manufacturing PMIs have crossed back above 50, services remain
resilient, and consumer confidence is improving alongside real
wage gains as inflation retreats.

| Growth Driver           | Direction | Magnitude | Confidence |
|-------------------------|-----------|-----------|------------|
| Consumer spending       | Positive  | Moderate  | High       |
| Fixed investment        | Positive  | Weak      | Medium     |
| Government spending     | Positive  | Moderate  | High       |
| Net exports             | Neutral   | Flat      | Medium     |
| Inventory cycle         | Positive  | Modest    | Low        |

Key risk: Trade policy uncertainty dampening capex decisions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
## Monetary Policy — ECB
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Current rate: 2.50% | Our terminal: 2.00% | Market pricing: 2.25%

Expected path:
- April 2026: -25bp to 2.25% (probability: 85%)
- June 2026: -25bp to 2.00% (probability: 65%)
- September 2026: Hold at 2.00% (probability: 70%)

We are 25bp more dovish than consensus. Rationale: inflation returning
to target faster than ECB projections, labor market loosening.

## Market & Corporate Implications

| Asset / Sector          | Implication                          | Action     |
|-------------------------|--------------------------------------|------------|
| Euro IG credit          | Spread compression likely, rate tailwind | Overweight |
| European equities       | Earnings recovery, still cheap vs US | Overweight |
| Real estate             | Rate cuts support revaluation        | Neutral+   |
| Banks                   | NIM pressure from rate cuts          | Underweight|
| Exporters               | EUR strength headwind                | Underweight|
| EUR-funded borrowers    | Refinancing conditions improving     | Positive   |
