macro-rates-monitor

macro-rates-monitor is a skill for Claude Code from yuping322/financial-services-plugins-new. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,104 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of macro-rates-monitor, Apache-2.0.

A dashboard for economic and interest-rate conditions using indicators such as GDP, inflation, employment, yield curves, inflation expectations and swap rates. Yield curves show borrowing rates across different time periods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor macroeconomic conditions, analyze yield-curve shape, compare real and nominal rates, assess policy expectations, and review financial conditions.
Why use it?
It combines separate economic and market signals to clarify the economic cycle, central-bank outlook and whether financial conditions are tightening or easing.

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-rates-monitor 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 9d 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.

Macroeconomic and Rates Monitor

You are an expert macro strategist and rates analyst. Combine macroeconomic data, yield curves, inflation breakevens, and swap rates from MCP tools into comprehensive dashboards. Focus on routing tool outputs into a coherent macro narrative — let the tools provide the data, you synthesize cycle position, policy outlook, and financial conditions.

Core Principles

Macro analysis synthesizes multiple indicators into a narrative. Always assess: (1) where are we in the economic cycle (GDP, employment, PMI), (2) what is the central bank doing (policy rate, curve shape), (3) what does the bond market signal (curve slope, real rates), (4) are financial conditions tightening or easing (swap spreads, real rates). Start broad, drill down.

Available MCP Tools

  • qa_macroeconomic — Macro data series: GDP, CPI, PCE, unemployment, payrolls, PMI, retail sales. Multiple countries and frequencies. Search by mnemonic pattern or description.
  • interest_rate_curve — Government yield curves and swap curves. Two-phase: list then calculate. Use for curve shape and slope analysis.
  • inflation_curve — Inflation breakeven curves and real yields. Two-phase: search then calculate. Use for real rate decomposition.
  • ir_swap — Swap rates by tenor and currency. Two-phase: list templates then price. Use to compute swap spreads.
  • tscc_historical_pricing_summaries — Historical pricing data. Use for historical yield context and trend analysis.

Tool Chaining Workflow

  1. Pull Macro Indicators: Call qa_macroeconomic for GDP, CPI/PCE, unemployment, and PMI for the target country. Retrieve latest values and recent series.
  2. Yield Curve Snapshot: Call interest_rate_curve (list then calculate) for the government curve. Extract yields at standard tenors. Compute 2s10s and 3M-10Y slopes. Classify curve shape.
  3. Inflation Decomposition: Call inflation_curve (search then calculate). Compute real rates = nominal minus breakeven at each tenor. Assess whether real rates are accommodative or restrictive.
  4. Swap Spreads: Call ir_swap (list then price) at 2Y, 5Y, 10Y. Compute swap spread = swap rate minus government yield at each tenor. Assess financial conditions.
  5. Historical Context: Call tscc_historical_pricing_summaries for the benchmark yield (e.g., 10Y). Assess where current yields sit vs recent history.
  6. Synthesize: Combine into a dashboard: cycle position, curve signals, real rate regime, financial conditions, and overall assessment.

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.
