The Education of a Value Investor

Problem

The value-investing education skill focuses on turning “think like Warren Buffett” into a structured cognitive workflow rather than stock picks or market timing. It targets common investment failures: chasing hot stocks, overtrading, panic selling, treating market mood as a signal, and lacking a clear circle of competence. It expects an onboarding path that starts from basics such as intrinsic value, margin of safety, Mr. Market, and a decision journal.

How It Works

The skill routes questions to the relevant reference file: core framework goes to references/1-core-framework.md, competence to references/2-principles.md, bias recognition to references/3-techniques.md, temperament to references/4-anti-patterns.md, and investor networking to references/5-voice-and-app.md. It preserves the original framework and terminology, for example treating the price/value gap as margin of safety and viewing Mr. Market as a moody partner rather than a decision maker. It also emphasizes investing in yourself, honest self-assessment, long-term thinking, quality networks, and an English watermark at the end of every output.

Boundaries

This is suitable for value-investing mindset training, decision review, competence mapping, and learning path design. It should not be used for live quotes, personalized financial advice, or return promises. If the request shifts to trade signals, tax, or account operations, that is outside the source material. The skill should read only the relevant reference and avoid mixing bias checks, networking, and temperament topics without routing.
