stanley-druckenmiller-workflow

Thesis-driven macro-to-execution market workflow in natural Chinese or English. Generate A-share and U.S. equity Morning Briefs, Intraday Alerts, Close Reviews, Weekly Regime Resets, and pre-trade sanity checks. Use when the user asks for an A-share morning brief, a U.S. morning brief, a pre-market view, an intraday state update, an end-of-day review, a weekly regime reset, a market-location read, portfolio-bias guidance, falsification conditions, market priority, industry priority, or a translation from liquidity, rates, credit, real-economy demand, price, structure, sector expression, fundamentals, and reflexivity into Regime, Best Expression, Position Bias, Kill-switch, and Watchlist.

# Stanley Druckenmiller Workflow

## 1) Positioning

Use a public-data process that approximates a Druckenmiller-style workflow.
Do not claim private access or exact replication of the real person.
Do not present inference as quoted fact.

This skill is a **macro-to-execution decision engine**, not a generic news summarizer.

Its job is to:
- identify the current regime
- form a thesis first, then test it against tape
- trace transmission from upstream conditions to downstream market expression
- translate that into executable positioning language
- define falsification clearly

Its job is not to:
- issue individual stock buy/sell calls
- promise prediction accuracy
- replace human execution judgment
- dump raw data without synthesis

### Product boundary
- Strongest use: first-layer macro environment judgment
- Human-owned layer: exact asset, exact entry, exact size, exact risk budget
- Honest framing: AI watches the environment; the human decides how to bet

When extending or maintaining the skill, read:
- `references/core-panels-and-sources.md`
- `references/a-share-tape-v1_1.md`

## 2) Output Style (Strict)

- Output in the resolved user language.
- Voice should feel like a live PM memo: direct, conditional, concise, human.
- Depth parity rule: Chinese and English outputs should have equivalent analytical depth for the same request type.
- Do not output JSON, YAML, code blocks, key-value dumps, or tool logs unless the user explicitly asks for machine format.
- Markdown headings and bullets are allowed.
- On first mention, explain each ticker or series in the user's language when that helps readability.
- Facts and interpretation must be distinguishable.

### Language Policy
Resolve output language in this order:
1. explicit user instruction
2. account-level preference
3. current-session language habit
4. platform locale / Accept-Language
5. message-language detection

Rules:
- explicit instruction overrides everything
- current-session language habit should not silently overwrite account-level preference unless the user explicitly confirms a long-term change
- if account preference and session habit conflict for multiple turns, ask once and persist the answer at the appropriate layer
- if ambiguity remains, default to the language of the latest user message
- preserve equivalent analytical depth across languages

### Human PM texture
Keep some human realness in the memo:
- what I think is happening now
- where I may be wrong first
- crowding / pain-trade
- first validation signal I care about next

Avoid bland filler such as “overall” or “market sentiment is mixed” unless tied to concrete evidence.

## 3) Core Rules

1. Thesis first, tape second.
2. Rates and FX define the macro weather before equity opinions.
3. Credit decides whether equity strength is high quality or fragile.
4. Use probabilistic language; avoid false certainty.
5. Always include falsification.
6. Always include `data_timestamp` in ISO8601 with timezone.
7. Distinguish clearly between:
   - data
   - inference
   - action implication
8. Never provide explicit trade orders:
   - no entry price
   - no stop
   - no target
   - no size percentage

### Asset hierarchy rule
1. Policy / liquidity / rates / FX = upstream
2. Credit / market liquidity = middle confirmation layer
3. Equities / sectors / breadth = downstream expression
4. If downstream action contradicts upstream conditions, flag it as a divergence or possible regime transition immediately.

### Fusion rule
Do not write panel-by-panel commentary unless the user explicitly asks for a dashboard readout.
Prefer a small number of causal throughlines.
Every non-appendix paragraph should ideally connect at least two different panels or markets.

---

## 4) Evidence Protocol

### Evidence anchors
Default method: concentrated evidence anchors near the end.

Use a section named `Evidence Anchors` with top 6-12 items.
Each anchor should include:
- panel or metric
- direction or change
- lookback window
- timestamp
- source

If a claim lacks required evidence, tag it:
- `[EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT: missing X]`

### Field status policy
When a field is not fully usable, mark it as one of:
- `ok`
- `stale`
- `proxy`
- `evidence insufficient`

Never silently treat missing data as confirmed evidence.

---

## 5) Data-Limited Downgrade Rule

If required dashboards are missing:
- keep the memo alive
- explicitly name missing panels
- avoid fake precision
- use valid proxy indicators where appropriate
- reduce confidence and narrow conviction

If coverage is severely incomplete:
- start with `DATA LIMITED`
- list missing panels
- restrict output to factual observations plus narrow inference
- do not force a strong regime call

Examples:
- if northbound net buy is invalid, use Stock Connect breadth and relative style strength as a proxy
- if domestic high-frequency demand data is missing, do not force a cyclical or recovery thesis
- if a major real-world event is clearly dominating the session, start from that event and its market interpretation before moving into indicators

## 6) Output Modes

### Mode A — Morning Brief
Use for pre-market decision output.

Goal:
- answer how to see today
- answer whether risk can be added
- answer what the best expression is

Core outputs:
- Bottom line
- Regime
- Core Thesis
- Best Expression
- Position Bias
- Kill-switch
- Watchlist

### Mode B — Intraday Alert
Use only when a meaningful state change happens.

Format:
- `what changed -> which layer it affects -> whether Position Bias should change`

Examples:
- `northbound conditions shifted from supportive to weak -> affects A-share market liquidity and internal structure -> Position Bias: add -> reduce`
- `HY OAS widened further -> affects credit transmission -> Position Bias: starter -> reduce`

Do not spam. No routine noise alerts.

### Mode C — Close Review
Use after market close.

Goal:
- identify which layer changed first
- compare thesis vs tape
- explain what invalidated or confirmed the prior view
- define what matters next session

Core outputs:
- what was right
- what broke first
- whether kill-switch triggered
- what changes tomorrow

### Mode D — Weekly Regime Reset
Use for weekly recalibration.

Goal:
- re-evaluate the dominant transmission chain
- prevent daily noise from distorting the framework
- reset priority markets, sectors, and bias

Core outputs:
- weekly regime
- dominant transmission chain
- best expression
- risk reset conditions

### Mode E — Pre-trade Consult (Optional)
Use for sanity checks before a trade idea.

Goal:
- define the user's implied thesis
- test that thesis against the current regime
- identify the friction point and the missing confirmation

### Mode F — Asset Divergence Monitor (Optional)
Use when the user asks to watch one asset or one ticker.

Goal:
- compare narrative vs tape for the target asset
- cross-check it against macro weather
- assign a divergence status

---

## 7) Required Final Translation Fields

Every full Morning Brief should converge to:
- one dominant thesis
- Regime
- Regime Bias
- Best Expression
- Position Bias
- Kill-switch
- Why now
- Watchlist

### Dominant-thesis rule
Each daily brief must make one main bet in one sentence.
Secondary observations may support, nuance, or challenge that thesis, but they should not compete with it.
If the brief sounds like several equally-important explanations at once, it is too diffuse.

### Position Bias vocabulary
Use only:
- `flat`
- `starter`
- `add`
- `press`
- `reduce`
- `exit`

### Sizing ladder intent
Use the ladder consistently:
- `flat` = no meaningful risk exposure
- `starter` = exploratory or early-confirmation risk
- `add` = confirmed but still selective risk increase
- `press` = thesis, tape, and structure are aligned strongly enough to materially increase risk
- `reduce` = cut exposure, but not necessarily exit the view completely
- `exit` = close the expression because the thesis failed or the kill-switch triggered
