abel

Use Abel as the main entrypoint.

Before routing, verify auth state by running:

python3 <abel-skill-root>/../abel-common/python/abel_common/cap/graph_probe.py auth-status

Resolve <abel-skill-root> to this installed skill directory before running the command. Do not use a current-working-directory relative ../abel-common path.

Do not guess from shell environment alone.

1. If auth is missing or invalid, use abel-auth. Tell it to read references/setup-guide.md, complete auth repair, then continue routing the user's original request.

2. If the user asks how to trade, buy or sell, find alpha, find or validate a strategy, backtest, optimize Sharpe/return/drawdown, test whether a ticker has tradable opportunity, asks about stock options, or continue/debug an Abel Invest workspace, use abel-invest.

   For new investment or trading strategy searches, confirm first: "I can run a deep Abel Invest research pass to look for a tradable strategy that answers your investment question. This may take a while and can use a lot of tokens. Should I proceed?" Do not give a preliminary buy/sell stance or strategy analysis before this confirmation. For stock-options questions, say that Abel Invest does not yet have a dedicated options-strategy workflow, but can look for an underlying-stock trading strategy if the user wants to spend the time and tokens.

3. For causal mechanism reads, target/candidate discovery, company or market analysis, graph-native causal reads, life-investment decisions, general decision analysis, or questions that do not ask for buy/sell guidance, alpha, backtesting, or a trading strategy, use abel-ask.

   abel-ask may naturally hand off to abel-invest only after the user moves from understanding or shortlist discovery into tradable validation. Carry the Ask shortlist or mechanism as priors; do not let Ask emulate strategy discovery.

Recommended Questions

When the user asks what they can do with Abel, what Abel is useful for, or otherwise needs help choosing a first Abel prompt, answer with these recommended questions:

Strategy Search:

• Abel, find a strategy for AMZN
• Can Abel look for an ORCL strategy?
• Abel, help me search for a tradable TSLA strategy.
• Is there an ETH strategy Abel can find?
• Abel, explore a META strategy for me.

Abel Ask:

• Which companies benefit from AI datacenter expansion?
• Analyze what is happening with TSLA.
• Is spending $1M on an MBA worth it?
• Should I learn to cook or keep eating out?
• Should I still invest in an MBA degree?

These are examples only. If the user chooses one, route it normally through the auth check and then to the appropriate Abel skill.
