US Metrics - Economic & Social Indicator Analysis Purpose: Analyze U.S. economic and social metrics using the Substrate US-Common-Metrics dataset. Provides trend analysis, cross-metric correlation, pattern detection, and research recommendations. Data Source All metrics sourced from: Location: Configure your data directory path (e.g., ${PAI_DIR}/data/US-Common-Metrics/ ) Master Document: US-Common-Metrics.md (68 metrics across 10 categories) Source Documentation: source.md (full methodology) Underlying APIs: FRED, EIA, Treasury FiscalData, BLS, Census, CDC, EPA Workflow Routing When executing a workflow, output this notification directly: Running the WorkflowName workflow in the USMetrics skill to ACTION... Available Workflows Workflow Description Use When UpdateData Fetch live data from APIs and update Substrate dataset "Update metrics", "refresh data", "pull latest", "update Substrate" GetCurrentState Comprehensive economic overview with multi-timeframe trend analysis "How is the economy?", "economic overview", "get current state", "US metrics analysis" Workflows UpdateData Full documentation: Workflows/UpdateData.md Purpose: Fetch live data from FRED, EIA, Treasury APIs and populate the Substrate US-Common-Metrics dataset files. This must run before GetCurrentState to ensure data is current. Execution: bun ~/.claude/skills/USMetrics/Tools/UpdateSubstrateMetrics.ts Outputs: US-Common-Metrics.md - Updated with current values us-metrics-current.csv - Machine-readable snapshot us-metrics-historical.csv - Appended time series Trigger phrases: "Update the US metrics" "Refresh the economic data" "Pull latest metrics" "Update Substrate dataset" GetCurrentState Full documentation: Workflows/GetCurrentState.md Produces: A comprehensive overview document analyzing: 10-year, 5-year, 2-year, and 1-year trends for all major metrics Cross-category interplay analysis Pattern detection and anomalies Research recommendations Trigger phrases: "How is the US economy doing?" "Give me an economic overview" "What's the current state of US metrics?" "Analyze economic trends" "US metrics report" Metric Categories Covered Economic Output & Growth - GDP, industrial production, retail sales Inflation & Prices - CPI, PCE, gas prices, oil prices Employment & Labor - Unemployment, payrolls, jobless claims, quit rate Housing - Home prices, mortgage rates, housing starts Consumer & Personal Finance - Sentiment, saving rate, credit Financial Markets - Interest rates, Treasury yields, volatility Trade & International - Trade balance, USD index Government & Fiscal - Federal debt, budget deficit, spending Demographics & Social - Population, inequality, poverty Health & Crisis - Deaths of despair, air quality, life expectancy API Keys Required For live data fetching: FRED_API_KEY - Federal Reserve Economic Data EIA_API_KEY - Energy Information Administration Tools Tool Purpose tools/UpdateSubstrateMetrics.ts Primary - Fetch all metrics, update Substrate files Tools/FetchFredSeries.ts Fetch historical data from FRED API tools/GenerateAnalysis.ts Generate analysis report from Substrate data Example Usage User: "How is the US economy doing? Give me a full analysis." → Invoke GetCurrentState workflow → Fetch current + historical data for all metrics → Calculate 10y/5y/2y/1y trends → Analyze cross-metric correlations → Identify patterns and anomalies → Generate research recommendations → Output comprehensive markdown report Output Format The GetCurrentState workflow produces a structured markdown document:
