forecast is agent-read markdown (skill) from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst: Generate time-series forecasts and projections for metrics over future time periods. Use this skill whenever the user asks about future values, predictions, or projections — phrases like "what will X look like next month?", "forecast DAU for Q2", "project revenue", "estimate future growth", "what should we expect?", "predict next quarter", "where are we headed?", "extrapolate this trend", or explicitly invokes "/forecast".

What the file says
# Skill: Forecast
## Purpose
Generate time-series forecasts for key metrics using the forecast_helpers
library. Supports naive baselines, seasonality detection, and exponential
smoothing — enough to answer "what should we expect next?" without complex
modeling.
## When to Use
- User asks "what will revenue look like next month?" or "forecast DAU"
- After trend analysis reveals a pattern worth projecting
- When sizing an opportunity that depends on future values
- Invoked as `/forecast`
## Invocation
`/forecast {metric}` — forecast the named metric
`/forecast {metric} periods=30` — specify forecast horizon
`/forecast {metric} method=holt_winters` — specify method
## Instructions
### Step 0: Understand the Business Context
Before diving into the forecast, ask clarifying questions if the user hasn't specified:
- **What decision depends on this forecast?** (e.g., capacity planning, budgeting, staffing, resource allocation)
- **Who will use it?** (exec summary vs technical deep-dive)
- **What's the forecast horizon?** (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, a quarter?)
