Predict Intelligence Skill

You generate a professional PDF intelligence brief. The user should grasp the key finding in 30 seconds. You own information efficiency.

Agent Requirements

Capability	What you need
Web search	Search the internet for news, analysis, data
URL fetch	Open a URL and read its content
File read/write	Read template, write HTML report
Shell execute	Run Python 3.9+ scripts

First-Time Setup

pip install playwright
playwright install chromium

No other Python packages needed (Jinja2, requests, etc. are NOT required).

How It Works

Read template → Do research → Write HTML → Convert to PDF

Read SKILL_DIR/templates/report_template.html — your structural reference.
Research and analyze the topic (Steps 1–8 below).
Generate a NEW .html file following the template's exact structure.

Convert to PDF:

python SKILL_DIR/scripts/to_pdf.py report.html predict_report.pdf

The template IS the spec. It contains:

All CSS (copy verbatim — never modify)
All D3 visualization code (copy verbatim — only change data variables)
Example content showing exact formatting for every section
Extensive comments explaining what each section does and how to fill it

Step 0 — Domain Detection

Signal	Domain
Countries, leaders, military, diplomacy, sanctions	Geopolitical
Stocks, crypto, Fed, rates, commodities	Financial
Tech releases, AI models, products	Technology
M&A, acquisitions, IPO, corporate	Corporate
Other	Custom

Classification bar is always: ANYGEN PREDICT INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT with #YY-MM-DD on the right (2-digit year, e.g. #26-03-12).

The report structure and design are IDENTICAL across all domains. Only research sources and visualization choices change. See Domain Adaptation at the bottom.

Step 1 — Parse Query

Extract:

event: what is being predicted
actors: who is involved
regions / sectors: geographic or industry scope
timeframe: any dates or deadlines
question type: temporal ("when"), binary ("will"), or multi_outcome ("what")

Step 2 — Research

Search the web at least 8 times, covering:

Breaking news (last 48 hours)
Diplomatic / military / industry developments
Decision-makers' public statements
Historical precedent
Expert / think-tank / analyst reports
Regional or sector-specific media
Economic / financial context
Low-probability high-impact wildcards

CRITICAL: For every fact, save the exact article URL.

For geopolitical / diplomacy / military / sanctions topics, ALSO collect:

3–5 key locations (cities, capitals, bases, meeting venues) with lat/lon
ISO alpha-2 country codes of all parties involved
Any diplomatic channels, proxy lines, or trade routes between locations This data is required for the V2 Regional Map in Step 7. Collect it now.

fact: "Oman hosted senior US-Iran talks on March 5"
url:  "https://reuters.com/world/middle-east/oman-hosts-rare-us-iran-talks-2026-03-06/"

Homepage URLs are forbidden. Every URL must point to a specific article.

Step 3 — Formulate Predictions

Create outcomes sorted by probability descending. All must sum to ~100%.

The verdict has five parts:

verdict_number: top probability as text (e.g. "34%") — displayed at 52px, the BIGGEST element
verdict_outcome: 3–6 word label
verdict_detail: 1 sentence — "Most likely path: ..."
verdict_bg (Context): 2–3 sentences of BACKGROUND BRIEFING — what led to the current situation, key prior events, the "前情提要" (previously on...)
verdict_context: 2–3 sentences of assessment reasoning with key evidence

Calibration:

Confidence	Range
Near-certain	90–99%
Very likely	75–89%
Likely	60–74%
Toss-up	40–59%
Unlikely	25–39%
Very unlikely	10–24%
Remote	1–9%

Step 4 — Key Drivers (5 items, causal logic required)

Each driver MUST have:

Title: 3–5 words
Direction: positive (↑ increases likelihood) or negative (↓ decreases)
Causal logic: 1 sentence: fact → mechanism → directional impact
Source URL: exact article URL

❌ Bad: "Sanctions pressure — Iran inflation at 45%" ✅ Good: "Sanctions pressure ↑ — 45% inflation pushes Tehran toward concessions for relief"

The bad one states facts. The good one explains the causal chain.

Step 5 — Watch List (5 items, forward-looking only)

Each item is a FUTURE event or trigger that could shift the predict. No past events. No source URLs (these haven't happened yet).

Each item MUST have:

Date or window: specific date or range (e.g. "Apr 3", "Late March")
Trigger: 3–6 words describing what might happen
Conditional impact: 1 sentence — "If [X] → [how probability shifts]"

✅ Good: "Apr 3 — UNSC sanctions vote — If passed → ceasefire probability ↑10-15%" ✅ Good: "Late Mar — FOMC meeting — Dovish tone → ↑ rate cut odds; hawkish → ↓" ❌ Bad: "Mar 5 — Secret Muscat meeting happened" (PAST event — belongs in Key Drivers)

The distinction:

Key Drivers = WHY the current probability is what it is (past + present evidence, with source URLs)
Watch List = WHAT could change the probability next (future triggers, no sources needed)

Step 6 — Polymarket Data

Run:

python SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_polymarket.py --query "<keywords>" --limit 10

From results:

Add your probability estimate for each option
Calculate delta = your_estimate − market_probability
Select 3 markets with highest absolute delta
Sort by delta descending (most undervalued first)

If no script available, search "polymarket [topic]" on the web. If no markets exist, skip the Polymarket section entirely.

Step 7 — Visualization (REQUIRED)

⚠ MANDATORY MAP RULE — READ THIS FIRST

If the topic involves countries, regions, borders, military, diplomacy, or sanctions → you MUST include V2 (Regional Map). Non-negotiable.

Do NOT skip V2 because:

"I only want one chart" → V2 IS that one chart. Add a second if needed.
"It needs extra dependencies" → TopoJSON is already in the template <head>. Just keep the <script> tag. Do NOT remove it.
"I don't have good marker data" → You researched 8+ sources in Step 2. You have city names, country names, and actor locations. Use them. Minimum: 3 markers from your research + highlight the relevant countries.

Only these domains are exempt from V2: financial, technology, corporate, budget/aid (unless they have a geographic dimension).

Choosing visualizations

Pick 1 or 2 types total. Minimum 1, maximum 2.

Domain	Required	Optional 2nd
War / conflict	V2 (map)	V3 (entity)
Sanctions / trade	V2 (map)	V5 (comparison) or V8 (sankey)
Military balance	V2 (map)	V5 (comparison bars)
Diplomacy	V2 (map)	V9 (gantt phases)
Election	V7 (choropleth)	V1 (polling trend)
Economic / monetary	V1 (trend)	V10 (key rate) or V5 (comparison)
Budget / aid flow	V8 (sankey)	V5 (comparison)
Multi-phase process	V9 (gantt)	V4 (timeline)

V2 data — how to fill it

From your Step 2 research, extract:

markers[]: 3–5 locations mentioned in your sources (capitals, cities, military bases, meeting venues). Use real lat/lon coordinates.
connections[]: diplomatic channels, proxy influence lines, trade routes.
hlCodes[]: ISO alpha-2 codes of countries involved (e.g. ["IR","IQ","OM"]).

This data comes from your research. You already have it. Do not skip.

Available types

9 pre-built types (there is NO V6). DO NOT write custom D3/SVG.

Type	ID	When to use
Regional Map	V2	Geographic theater with markers
Metric Trend	V1	Data over time — polls, rates, escalation
Entity Graph	V3	Actor networks — alliances, proxies
Event Timeline	V4	Complex event sequences (sparingly)
Comparison Bars	V5	Ranked values — spending, strength, polls
Choropleth	V7	Election maps / regional statistics
Sankey	V8	Flow diagrams — funding, resources, influence
Gantt	V9	Phase / timeline bars for overlapping activities
Big Number	V10	1–3 key metrics as large display (see rules below)

V10 Big Number — VERY RARE, strict rules:

Use ONLY when a specific number is truly critical to the analytical argument
The number must NOT already appear in the Verdict
Maximum 3 number cards
Must include delta/change indicator (↑ or ↓ with amount)
✅ "US unemployment 4.1% (↑0.3pp)" when discussing Fed rate decisions
✅ "$12B reserves (↓40% YoY)" when discussing Iran sanctions threshold
❌ Generic statistics, redundant percentages, or decorative numbers

Placement and rules

Section order: Visualization comes AFTER Predict → Key Drivers → Watch List, and BEFORE Polymarket.

For each type you use:

Keep its <section> in the HTML body (after Watch List section)
Keep its matching <script> block at the bottom
Only change the data variables at the top of the script (AGENT: markers)
Delete ALL unused types — both HTML <section> AND <script>
<h2> title MUST describe what the chart shows

Label limits (auto-truncated, keep short anyway):

Type	Limits
V2	marker labels ≤20
V1	y-label ≤20, series ≤20, max 12 x-points, max 3 lines
V3	node ≤16, edge ≤14, max 8 nodes
V4	labels ≤45, max 8 items
V5	bar labels ≤18, max 8 bars
V7	category labels ≤20
V8	node names ≤18, max 12 nodes, max 15 links
V9	task labels ≤22, max 8 tasks
V10	max 3 cards

Step 8 — Fact Check

This report may inform six-figure financial decisions.

Every source URL is a real article page you actually visited
Every Polymarket URL is a real event page on polymarket.com
All stated facts match their sources
Probabilities sum to ~100%
Remove any claim without a verified source URL

Step 9 — Generate HTML

Open SKILL_DIR/templates/report_template.html and read it. Then generate a new HTML file following the same structure:

Copy the entire <style> block verbatim — never modify CSS.
Copy D3 <script> blocks for the 1–2 viz types you chose. Only replace the data variables at the top of each script (clearly marked with AGENT: Replace comments).
CDN dependencies:
- D3: always include (needed for V1–V9)
- TopoJSON: only for V2 (map), V7 (choropleth)
- d3-sankey: only for V8 (sankey)
- V10 (Big Number) needs NO scripts — pure HTML/CSS
Fill in the HTML content sections following the template's structure. Section order: [A] → [B] → [E] → [F] → [G] → Visualization → [H] → [I]
Delete ALL unused viz types — both <section> and matching <script>.
- No Polymarket → delete section [H]

Save as report.html in the working directory.

Step 10 — Convert to PDF

python SKILL_DIR/scripts/to_pdf.py report.html predict_report.pdf

Step 11 — Deliver

Tell the user the PDF is ready. State the verdict in one sentence: "Report generated. 34% chance of ceasefire before April 15 — most likely via Omani-mediated direct talks."

Template Quick Reference
