Use when the user wants an Abel causal map, graph exploration, target or candidate discovery, company/market mechanism read, or life/business investment decision read rather than auth setup or tradable strategy discovery.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Abel Ask explains mechanisms, candidate lists, and decision rules. Finance and
crypto nodes are proxy vocabulary, not the product. Do not use Ask for pure fact
lookup, news recap, operational how-to, buy/sell guidance, alpha, backtests,
backtesting, options strategy, Sharpe/MaxDD, or tradable strategy validation.

If the request needs auth repair, stop and use `abel-auth`. If the request asks
for tradable validation, use `abel-invest`.

## 1. Classify

Classify in two layers.

Product intent:

- `direct_graph_read`: literal node, ticker, path, neighborhood, driver, or CAP
  graph fact. Read `references/intents/direct-graph-read.md`.
- `candidate_discovery`: companies, assets, sectors, beneficiaries, suppliers,
  competitors, or "where are the opportunities?" Read
  `references/intents/candidate-discovery.md`.
- `life_investment_decision`: education, career, consumption, housing,
  entrepreneurship, health, attention, or other opportunity-cost decisions. Read
  `references/intents/life-investment-decision.md`.
- `general_causal_read`: mechanism questions such as "how does X affect Y?" Read
  `references/intents/general-causal-read.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add abel-ai-lab/predict-anything/abel-ask@sha256:3fa098f0046843e7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
