samgalanakis Bundle Cupel 2Make your clanker your investing analyst. A personal research companion that learns the user's edges (their job, their life, their circle of competence) and stress-tests ideas against the investing canon (Lynch, Mayer, Dorsey, Graham, Bogle, Housel, Bernstein, Marks).

Use when the user wants to research a company, capture or develop an investment idea, scout for new opportunities beyond their current list, review a holding or their portfolio, decide how to allocate or rebalance, think through a buy/sell/hold decision, or get a status check on where they stand. It gives reasoned, mandate-grounded calls — likely scenarios, rough upside and timeframe, and the risks named — refusing only false precision dressed as fact and bare tip-bot signals, and never placing trades.

modernrelay Bundle Omnigraph Intel Bootstrap 2Bootstrap a new Omnigraph-based SPIKE industry intelligence graph from scratch. Use this skill whenever a user wants to set up a new SPIKE graph — either with the existing AI industry demo data or for a new domain (biotech, fintech, crypto, geopolitics, macroeconomics, SaaS, climate tech, etc.). The flow presents a demo-vs-custom decision, then for custom setups asks about domain scope, actors, cadence, and sources, adapts schema and enums for the target domain, runs initial web research to generate real seed content, and converges the cluster (apply creates the graph) + loads seed data. Apply aggressively when the user says any of: set up Omnigraph, bootstrap a new graph, create a new SPIKE cookbook, I want to track X industry, initialize intel for Y, new graph for Z domain, start a new context graph, or similar phrasing. This skill takes a user from zero to a populated, queryable graph.
