Peter Lynch built capital over decades by applying specific, repeatable mental models to uncertainty. Peter Lynch's investing thinking — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The invest in what you know framework distils Peter Lynch's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Peter Lynch made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Peter Lynch's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Peter Lynch's thinking.

Core Philosophy

The best investment opportunities are hiding in plain sight—in the stores you shop at, the products you use, and the industries you work in. Amateur investors have advantages over professionals because they can spot trends early through direct experience, while fund managers are trapped by institutional constraints and herd mentality.
