Defaults

Parameter	Default Value	Rationale
lookback_quarters	8	Captures full rate cycle from hiking to cutting
key_indicators	fed_funds, 2s10s_spread, dot_plot, inflation_breakevens	Core rate cycle indicators

Preflight

Run canonical pre-flight per contracts/preflight.md. Propagate X-Agentii-Trace per contracts/x-agentii-trace-header.md.

Data Source Priority

Knowledge entries (L1 rate cycle frameworks) -> 2. search_by_analogue(market_regime: rate-shock) -> 3. Real-time data

Methodology

Retrieval Scope

structured_only

Retrieval Strategy

Query knowledge entries for rate cycle frameworks; query search_by_analogue for historical rate cycles; supplement with real-time data.

Temporal Scope

See frontmatter temporal_scope block.

Tool Allowlist

See frontmatter allowed_tools.

Protocol

Rate Cycle Phase — classify hiking/plateau/cutting/emergency
Yield Curve Analysis — 2s10s spread, 3m10y, breakeven inflation
Framework Application — Taylor Rule, duration management
Analogue Retrieval — past rate cycles matching current phase

Output File

{ticker}/{YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM}_rate-cycle_{affix}.md

Output Structure

Executive Summary — key findings in 2-3 sentences
Core Analysis — applied frameworks with specific evidence
Quantitative Indicators — key metrics and benchmarks
Historical Analogues — matched cases with /v/cases/ citations
Risk Assessment — key risk factors and mitigants
Coverage Gaps — data limitations and degraded flags Rate Cycle Phase 3. Yield Curve Decomposition 4. Central Bank Posture 5. Duration and Curve Positioning 6. Historical Analogues 7. Scenarios

Error Handling

Error	Fallback
No frameworks	Proceed with standard indicators; flag degraded

Install targets

Codex install prompt

Install the "rate-cycle" agent skill from https://github.com/agentii-ai/agentii-investment-intelligence/tree/main/plugins/vertical-plugins/macro-strategy/skills/agentii/rate-cycle. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Interest rate cycle analysis, Fed policy analysis, yield curve dynamics, duration management, central bank rate trajectory, monetary tightening easing, bond market analysis, rate forecast, forward curve, dot plot interpretation, rate hike cut cycle After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"agentii-ai-rate-cycle","task":"Install rate-cycle","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: plugins/vertical-plugins/macro-strategy/skills/agentii/rate-cycle/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 302c64aaba684f459e29240c812813d21d60a02c.
