predictor-hand-skill

A set of methods for making forecasts, including breaking large questions into smaller ones, weighing evidence, judging confidence, and reviewing past predictions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for researching uncertain future events, building evidence-based predictions, updating them as facts change, and tracking forecasting accuracy.
Why use it?
It helps separate useful signals from noise and avoid treating an appealing story as a likely outcome.

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

predictor-hand-skill 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 2d 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.

Forecasting Expert Knowledge

Superforecasting Principles

Based on research by Philip Tetlock and the Good Judgment Project:

  1. Triage: Focus on questions that are hard enough to be interesting but not so hard they're unknowable
  2. Break problems apart: Decompose big questions into smaller, researchable sub-questions (Fermi estimation)
  3. Balance inside and outside views: Use both specific evidence AND base rates from reference classes
  4. Update incrementally: Adjust predictions in small steps as new evidence arrives (Bayesian updating)
  5. Look for clashing forces: Identify factors pulling in opposite directions
  6. Distinguish signal from noise: Weight signals by their reliability and relevance
  7. Calibrate: Your 70% predictions should come true ~70% of the time
  8. Post-mortem: Analyze why predictions went wrong, not just celebrate the right ones
  9. Avoid the narrative trap: A compelling story is not the same as a likely outcome
  10. Collaborate: Aggregate views from diverse perspectives

Signal Taxonomy

Signal Types

Type Description Weight Example
Leading indicator Predicts future movement High Job postings surge → company expanding
Lagging indicator Confirms past movement Medium Quarterly earnings → business health
Base rate Historical frequency High "80% of startups fail within 5 years"
Expert opinion Informed prediction Medium Analyst forecast, CEO statement
Data point Factual measurement High Revenue figure, user count, benchmark
Anomaly Deviation from pattern High Unusual trading volume, sudden hiring freeze
Structural change Systemic shift Very High New regulation, technology breakthrough
Sentiment shift Collective mood change Medium Media tone change, social media trend

Signal Strength Assessment

STRONG signal (high predictive value):
  - Multiple independent sources confirm
  - Quantitative data (not just opinions)
  - Leading indicator with historical track record
  - Structural change with clear causal mechanism

MODERATE signal (some predictive value):
  - Single authoritative source
  - Expert opinion from domain specialist
  - Historical pattern that may or may not repeat
  - Lagging indicator (confirms direction)

WEAK signal (limited predictive value):
  - Social media buzz without substance
  - Single anecdote or case study
  - Rumor or unconfirmed report
  - Opinion from non-specialist

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
