SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating and executing the complex, multi-task workflow required to produce institutional-quality equity research initiation reports. This skill orchestrates independent steps, enforces a strict one-task-at-a-time cadence, and validates prerequisites and artifact handoffs between tasks to ensure complete, review-ready outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task orchestrator: Sequentially executes and validates five tasks (Company Research, Financial Modeling, Valuation, Chart Generation, Report Assembly) with a strict one-task-at-a-time sequence.

  • Prerequisite verification: Checks for required inputs between tasks to prevent missed data and ensure data integrity.

  • Deliverable automation: Integrates references, data sources, and pre-generated assets (charts, templates) to produce publication-ready outputs.

  • Use Case: An analyst wants to generate a complete initiation report for a company; the skill guides which task to perform first, fetches inputs, runs the task, and then awaits explicit user instruction for the next step.

Quick Start

Start by requesting Task 1 for a target company name or ticker to begin the 5-task initiation workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate equity research initiation reports for a target company?

Equity research initiation reports are automated by sequentially executing five tasks: Company Research, Financial Modeling, Valuation, Chart Generation, and Report Assembly. The workflow enforces a strict one-task-at-a-time cadence, verifying prerequisites and handing off artifacts to produce a publication-ready DOCX file.

What is the step-by-step workflow for initiating coverage on a stock?

Initiating coverage involves a five-step sequential workflow. Starting with Company Research, the process requires explicit user instruction to proceed through Financial Modeling, Valuation, Chart Generation, and Report Assembly, delivering task-specific MD, XLSX, and chart outputs before moving to the next phase.

Can I generate financial models and valuation charts in a single run?

Financial models and valuation charts are generated in separate, sequential steps rather than a single run. The workflow enforces one-task-at-a-time execution with prerequisite verification between Financial Modeling, Valuation, and Chart Generation to ensure data integrity before proceeding.

What file formats are produced during the equity research initiation process?

The equity research initiation process produces MD files for research, XLSX files for financial modeling, generated charts, and a final publication-ready DOCX report. These deliverables are created sequentially as artifacts during each validated task step.

Does the initiation report workflow require manual input between tasks?

Manual input is required between tasks. After completing a task and delivering its specific output, the workflow awaits explicit user instruction before proceeding to the next step, ensuring the analyst validates the prerequisite data and artifact handoffs.

What happens if required inputs are missing for the financial modeling task?

Financial modeling requires prerequisite verification before execution. If required inputs from the Company Research task are missing, the workflow prevents proceeding to ensure data integrity, stopping the sequence until the necessary data sources and artifacts are provided.
