  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by questflowai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Greenblatt Special Situations AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/questflowai/investorskills.git /tmp/investorskills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/investorskills/skills/greenblatt-special-situations .claude/skills/greenblatt-special-situations
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Greenblatt Special Situations in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Greenblatt Special Situations on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Greenblatt Special Situations is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Greenblatt Special Situations

Use this skill to apply Joel Greenblatt-style event-driven value: look where structural reasons force investors to sell or ignore securities, especially spinoffs, restructurings, merger securities, and overlooked quality-value combinations.

When To Use

  • Spinoff or post-spinoff analysis
  • Restructuring, rights offering, merger security, or stub analysis
  • Magic Formula quality/value screening
  • Forced-selling event review

Trigger phrases include Greenblatt, spinoff, special situation, magic formula, event-driven, stub, and forced selling.

Process

  1. Identify the event and why natural holders may sell.
  2. Separate parent, spin, stub, rights, or merger consideration.
  3. Underwrite business quality and normalized earnings.
  4. Compare valuation to hidden or standalone value.
  5. Define event catalyst and post-event shareholder base.

Output Format

# Greenblatt View: [Situation]

## Verdict

Guardrails

  • Do not buy every spinoff blindly.
  • Do not ignore pro forma leverage.
  • Do not assume event complexity equals value.

Questflow Use

In Questflow, this skill is best used for event-driven stock discovery and special-situation memo generation.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Greenblatt Special Situations AI skill do?

Use when evaluating Joel Greenblatt-style special situations: spinoffs, restructurings, merger securities, forced selling, magic formula quality/value screens, and event-driven mispricing.

Why use Greenblatt Special Situations on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Greenblatt Special Situations is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Greenblatt Special Situations in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/questflowai/investorskills/tree/main/skills/greenblatt-special-situations. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Greenblatt Special Situations?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Greenblatt Special Situations?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Greenblatt Special Situations with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Greenblatt Special Situations AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by questflowai under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
