Apply Charlie Munger mental models to investments, decisions, and bias diagnosis. Trigger on Munger checklist or spot biases.

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

## Overview

This skill turns Charlie Munger's *Poor Charlie's Almanack* into an executable decision tool for investment evaluation, business judgment, and psychological misjudgment diagnosis. It helps users combine multidisciplinary mental models, inversion, circle-of-competence discipline, and bias checklists into structured recommendations.

## When to Use This Skill

- The user asks to analyze an investment, company, business decision, or strategy using Charlie Munger's approach.
- The user asks which mental models apply to a situation.
- The user wants to diagnose cognitive biases, market manias, frauds, scandals, or irrational behavior.
- The user wants a checklist for decision quality, preparation, patience, concentration, or opportunity cost.
- The user asks what could go wrong and how to invert a plan before acting.

## HOW TO USE THIS SKILL

1. Classify the user's request as investment evaluation, bias diagnosis, general decision review, or Munger-style synthesis.
2. Apply only the dimensions required by the query. Do not force every checklist into a narrow question.
3. Start with competence boundaries and inversion whenever the user asks for a recommendation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add simbajigege/book2skills/munger-mental-models-worldly-wisdom@sha256:8ac27b52ec8b1897

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260430.5b2ddcd, 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.
