SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates fragmentation and guesswork in IMF research workflows by providing a single standardized entry point that loads shared conventions (country codes, WEO group definitions, SDK setup rules) and automatically routes tasks to the correct specialized worker skill, ensuring consistent, accurate results across all IMF data-related tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Workflow Entry Point: Serves as the family entry point for all IMF Research Assistant tasks, loading shared operating rules, WEO country/group conventions, and SDK setup guidelines.
  • Intelligent Task Routing: Automatically directs users to the correct specialized skill: imf-ra-catalog for dataset and indicator lookup, imf-ra-data for fetching confirmed data series, imf-ra-charts for static chart generation, and imf-ra-error-report for consent-based local failure reporting.
  • Built-in Guardrails: Enforces reference CSV source-of-truth usage, prevents guesswork for ambiguous queries, standardizes inter-skill handoff contracts, and clarifies framework differences (WEO vs SPR/PRGT) to avoid incorrect data pulls.
  • Use Case: A user requesting GDP data for emerging markets will be guided to confirm the correct WEO framework, have the group expanded to valid iData country codes, and routed to the data fetching skill with all required parameters pre-validated.

Quick Start

Use the imf-ra skill to start any IMF research task, such as pulling inflation data for all advanced economies or generating a line chart of GDP growth for the Euro Area.

Frequently Asked Questions about imf-ra

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch IMF data for specific WEO country groups without guessing the codes?

To fetch IMF data without guessing, the imf-ra skill enforces reference CSV source-of-truth usage and expands WEO group definitions into valid iData country codes. It prevents guesswork for ambiguous queries by requiring confirmation of the correct framework before pulling data.

What is the best way to automate IMF research workflows including data retrieval and chart generation?

The best way to automate IMF research workflows is using a centralized entry point that loads shared operating conventions and routes tasks to specialized worker skills for dataset lookup, cross-country data fetching, and static chart production. This ensures consistent, standardized results across all tasks.

How do I generate static charts from IMF datasets for advanced economies?

To generate static charts from IMF datasets, you start with the central workflow entry point, which validates your request for advanced economies against WEO group definitions, then routes the pre-validated parameters to the specialized chart generation worker skill.

Does the IMF research assistant support consent-based local error reporting for failed data pulls?

Yes, the IMF research assistant supports consent-based local error reporting for user-visible failures. It routes error reporting tasks to a specialized worker skill, ensuring that failures during dataset lookup or cross-country data fetching are documented locally with user permission.

When should I clarify WEO versus SPR/PRGT frameworks for IMF data retrieval?

You should clarify WEO versus SPR/PRGT frameworks whenever fetching IMF data to avoid incorrect pulls. The workflow enforces guardrails that distinguish framework differences, requiring users to confirm the correct framework before expanding country groups into valid iData codes.

Can I use imf-ra to look up specific economic indicators across multiple emerging markets?

Yes, you can use the imf-ra skill to look up economic indicators across emerging markets. It routes dataset and indicator lookup tasks to a specialized catalog skill, expanding the group to valid country codes and validating all required parameters before fetching the confirmed data series.
