imf-ra

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.
