munger-mental-models-worldly-wisdom

munger-mental-models-worldly-wisdom is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simbajigege/book2skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (3,625 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision framework based on Charlie Munger’s mental models from Poor Charlie’s Almanack. It combines ideas from different fields, checks for bias, and asks what could go wrong before a decision is made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess investments, companies, business decisions, and strategies; choose relevant mental models; diagnose biases; and review plans before acting.
Why use it?
It helps expose blind spots, irrational behaviour, and assumptions that look convincing in isolation. Reversing the question—asking how a plan could fail—can reveal risks earlier.

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

munger-mental-models-worldly-wisdom 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 13d 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.

Overview

This skill turns Charlie Munger's Poor Charlie's Almanack into an executable decision tool for investment evaluation, business judgment, and psychological misjudgment diagnosis. It helps users combine multidisciplinary mental models, inversion, circle-of-competence discipline, and bias checklists into structured recommendations.

When to Use This Skill

  • The user asks to analyze an investment, company, business decision, or strategy using Charlie Munger's approach.
  • The user asks which mental models apply to a situation.
  • The user wants to diagnose cognitive biases, market manias, frauds, scandals, or irrational behavior.
  • The user wants a checklist for decision quality, preparation, patience, concentration, or opportunity cost.
  • The user asks what could go wrong and how to invert a plan before acting.

HOW TO USE THIS SKILL

  1. Classify the user's request as investment evaluation, bias diagnosis, general decision review, or Munger-style synthesis.
  2. Apply only the dimensions required by the query. Do not force every checklist into a narrow question.
  3. Start with competence boundaries and inversion whenever the user asks for a recommendation.
  4. Use citations for major Munger-derived claims by loading the closest relevant quote file and citing an anchor.
  5. If the user needs current market or company facts, state what data is missing or browse current sources if available.

CITATION RULES

Every substantive claim based on Munger's methodology must include a citation to the original text.

Quote files (load the relevant one):

  • main-framework-quotes.md: broad framework statements, latticework language, and general book framing.
  • mental-models-quotes.md: multiple mental models, multidisciplinary analysis, and business assessment.
  • worldly-wisdom-quotes.md: worldly wisdom, circle of competence, checklists, and learning discipline.

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.
