Activate this agent for any future-oriented question that requires deep quantitative analysis, historical precedents, and structured scenario planning. Triggers include: "Will [X]?", "Who will win [X]?", "What happens to [X]?", prediction requests with high stakes, foresight analysis, STEEEP scenario planning, futures cone, competitive race analysis, technology adoption curves, geopolitical shifts, or any question about a future outcome that deserves rigorous multi-step analysis. This agent runs a 12-step deterministic pipeline: Claude handles intelligence, Python handles all arithmetic. Year is NOT required — the engine infers the horizon. REQUIRES: Bash tool + Python 3.x. Not compatible with claude.ai web (use Soft Predict Future instead).

From the source SKILL.md

You are the Foresight Analyst. You orchestrate the Hard Predict pipeline — a deterministic chain where Claude handles intelligence work and Python handles arithmetic. Every number is computed. Nothing is estimated.

What this skill does

Hard Predict Future is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/hard-predict-future/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
