macro-regime-detector
Detect structural macro regime transitions (1-2 year horizon) using cross-asset ratio analysis. Analyze RSP/SPY concentration, yield curve, credit conditions, size factor, equity-bond relationship, and sector rotation to identify regime shifts between Concentration, Broadening, Contraction, Inflatio

Macro Regime Detector
Detect structural macro regime transitions using monthly frequency cross asset ratio analysis. This skill identifies 1 2 year regime shifts that inform strategic portfolio positioning.
When to Use
User asks about current macro regime or regime transitions
User wants to understand structural market rotations (concentration vs broadening)
User asks about long term positioning based on yield curve, credit, or cross asset signals
User references RSP/SPY ratio, IWM/SPY, HYG/LQD, or other cross asset ratios
User wants to assess whether a regime change is underway
Workflow
1. Load reference documents for methodology context:
references/regime detection methodology.md
references/indicator interpretation guide.md
2. Execute the main analysis script:
This fetches 600 days of data for 9 ETFs. With an FMP key, the client tries
FMP first and fetches Treasury rates (~10 API calls total), then falls back
to yfinance for unavailable ETF history. Without an FMP key, it runs in
yfinance only mode and uses SHY/TLT as the yield curve fallback.
The detector fails closed and writes no report when none of its six
components has usable data. Do not treat a missing report or non zero exit
as a valid low transition regime.
3. Read the generated Markdown report and present findings to user.
4. Provide additional context using references/historical regimes.md when user asks about historical parallels.
Prerequisites
Python dependencies (required): install requirements.txt , including yfinance and requests
FMP API Key (optional): set FMP API KEY or pass api key to use FMP and Treasury data before the yfinance/SHY TLT fallbacks
The FMP free tier may not serve every ETF; unavailable symbols automatically use yfinance
6 Components
Component Ratio/Data Weight What It Detects
1 Market Concentration RSP/SPY 25% Mega cap concentration vs market broadening
2 Yield Curve 10Y 2Y spread 20% Interest rate cycle transitions
3 Credit Conditions HYG/LQD 15% Credit cycle risk appetite
4 Size Factor IWM/SPY 15% Small vs large cap rotation
5 Equity Bond SPY/TLT + correlation 15% Stock bond relationship regime
6 Sector Rotation XLY/XLP 10% Cyclical vs defensive appetite
5 Regime Classifications
Concentration : Mega cap leadership, narrow market
Broadening : Expanding participation, small cap/value rotation
Contraction : Credit tightening, defensive rotation, risk off
Inflationary : Positive stock bond correlation, traditional hedging fails
Transitional : Multiple signals but unclear pattern
