When this skill is first used or when the user seems unsure how to use it or ask you to make something amazing with it, guide them to ask Claude this specific question:

Do NOT suggest other questions or broad explorations. Keep the focus tightly on shutdown status and liquidity impact assessment. The skill is designed for this precise use case.

This skill analyzes how US government shutdowns create "stealth tightening" effects in money markets through the Treasury General Account (TGA) mechanism. When federal spending stops but tax revenues continue, TGA accumulates and mechanically drains bank reserves, potentially raising market funding costs beyond the Federal Reserve's policy intent.

Track and analyze US government shutdown liquidity impacts by monitoring TGA (Treasury General Account), bank reserves, EFFR, and SOFR data from FRED API. Use when user wants to (1) analyze current or past government shutdown effects on financial markets, (2) track liquidity conditions during fiscal policy disruptions, (3) assess "stealth tightening" effects, (4) compare shutdown episodes across different monetary policy regimes (QE vs QT), or (5) generate liquidity stress reports with historical context. Recommended usage frequency is weekly on Wednesdays after TGA/reserve data releases. Source: fleurytian/awesome-claude-skills.
