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". This skill is essential after trend analysis when you need to quantify…
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
# 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?)

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/forecast@sha256:43e061a0317b134bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.7ff2e25, 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.
