Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.stlouisfed.org.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill tracks US government shutdowns and their impact on liquidity within money markets. It analyzes how shutdowns affect the Treasury General Account (TGA) and, consequently, bank reserves, potentially leading to increased market funding costs beyond the Federal Reserve's intended policy. The skill provides data-driven assessments of whether shutdown effects are easing or tightening, often referencing concepts like "stealth tightening" and SOFR premium.

When to use it

  • When a user wants to track liquidity conditions during a US government shutdown.
  • To assess if the effects of a shutdown are easing or tightening.
  • If the user mentions terms such as TGA, SOFR premium, or "stealth tightening."
  • For comparisons with historical shutdown episodes (e.g., 2013, 2018-19).
  • When needing a quick overview of current liquidity health related to government shutdowns.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes the impact of US government shutdowns on money market liquidity.
  • Tracks the Treasury General Account (TGA) and its effect on bank reserves.
  • Provides assessments of liquidity status: EASING, TIGHTENING, STABLE, or MIXED.
  • Generates JSON data files containing raw and weekly data (EFFR, SOFR, TGA, reserves).
  • Creates visualization charts showing TGA vs. Bank Reserves, EFFR vs. SOFR, and SOFR Premium.
  • Supports analysis of custom date ranges for historical shutdowns.

Example prompts

  • "美国政府停摆结束了吗? 对流动性的影响如何?" (Did the US government shutdown end? What is its impact on liquidity?)
  • “Can you assess whether the current shutdown effects are easing or tightening?”
  • "Show me a chart comparing the current TGA levels to those during the 2018-2019 shutdown."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill is specifically designed for analyzing US government shutdowns and their liquidity impact. Avoid broad, unrelated requests.
  • Optimal timing for analysis is Wednesday evenings or Thursday mornings following the release of TGA/reserves data.
  • To get started, use the suggested prompt: "美国政府停摆结束了吗? 对流动性的影响如何?"
