feat(optional-skills): port Anthropic financial-services skills as optional finance bundle (#21180)
Adds 7 optional skills under optional-skills/finance/ adapted from
anthropics/financial-services (Apache-2.0):
excel-author — openpyxl conventions: blue/black/green cells,
formulas over hardcodes, named ranges, balance
checks, sensitivity tables. Ships recalc.py.
pptx-author — python-pptx for model-backed decks (pitch,
IC memo, earnings note) that bind every number
to a source workbook cell.
dcf-model — institutional DCF (49KB skill): projections,
WACC, terminal value, Bear/Base/Bull scenarios,
5x5 sensitivity tables. Ships validate_dcf.py.
comps-analysis — comparable company analysis: operating metrics,
multiples, statistical benchmarking.
lbo-model — leveraged buyout: S&U, debt schedule, cash
sweep, exit multiple, IRR/MOIC sensitivity.
3-statement-model — fully-integrated IS/BS/CF with balance-check
plugs. Ships references/ for formatting,
formulas, SEC filings.
merger-model — accretion/dilution analysis for M&A.
All seven are optional (not active by default). Users install via
'hermes skills install official/finance/<skill>'.
Hermesification:
- Stripped every Office JS / Office Add-in / mcp__office__*
branch — skills assume headless openpyxl only.
- Replaced Cowork MCP data-source instructions with 'MCP first (via
native-mcp), fall back to web_search/web_extract against SEC EDGAR
and user-provided data'.
- Swapped Claude tool references (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, mcp__*)
for Hermes-native equivalents and Python library calls.
- Canonical Hermes frontmatter (name/description/version/author/
license/metadata.hermes.{tags,related_skills}).
- Descriptions tightened to 187-238 chars, trigger-first.
- Attribution preserved: author field credits 'Anthropic (adapted by
Nous Research)', license: Apache-2.0, each SKILL.md links back to
the upstream source directory.
Verification:
- All 7 discovered by OptionalSkillSource with source_id='official'
- Bundle fetch includes support files (scripts, references, troubleshooting)
- related_skills cross-refs all resolve within the bundle
- No Claude product / Cowork / Office JS / /mnt/skills leakage
remains in body text (bounded mentions only in attribution blocks)

## Environment
|
||||
|
||||
This skill assumes **headless openpyxl** — you are producing an .xlsx file on disk.
|
||||
Follow the `excel-author` skill's conventions for cell coloring, formulas, named ranges, and sensitivity tables.
|
||||
Recalculate before delivery: `python /path/to/excel-author/scripts/recalc.py ./out/model.xlsx`.
|
||||
|
||||
# Merger Model
|
||||
|
||||
Build accretion/dilution analysis for M&A transactions. Models pro forma EPS impact, synergy sensitivities, and purchase price allocation. Use when evaluating a potential acquisition, preparing merger consequences analysis for a pitch, or advising on deal terms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Gather Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
**Acquirer:**
|
||||
- Company name, current share price, shares outstanding
|
||||
- LTM and NTM EPS (GAAP and adjusted)
|
||||
- P/E multiple
|
||||
- Pre-tax cost of debt, tax rate
|
||||
- Cash on balance sheet, existing debt
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:**
|
||||
- Company name, current share price, shares outstanding (if public)
|
||||
- LTM and NTM EPS or net income
|
||||
- Enterprise value or equity value
|
||||
|
||||
**Deal Terms:**
|
||||
- Offer price per share (or premium to current)
|
||||
- Consideration mix: % cash vs. % stock
|
||||
- New debt raised to fund cash portion
|
||||
- Expected synergies (revenue and cost) and phase-in timeline
|
||||
- Transaction fees and financing costs
|
||||
- Expected close date
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Purchase Price Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | Value |
|
||||
|------|-------|
|
||||
| Offer price per share | |
|
||||
| Premium to current | |
|
||||
| Equity value | |
|
||||
| Plus: net debt assumed | |
|
||||
| Enterprise value | |
|
||||
| EV / EBITDA implied | |
|
||||
| P/E implied | |
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Sources & Uses
|
||||
|
||||
| Sources | $ | Uses | $ |
|
||||
|---------|---|------|---|
|
||||
| New debt | | Equity purchase price | |
|
||||
| Cash on hand | | Refinance target debt | |
|
||||
| New equity issued | | Transaction fees | |
|
||||
| | | Financing fees | |
|
||||
| **Total** | | **Total** | |
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Pro Forma EPS (Accretion / Dilution)
|
||||
|
||||
Calculate year-by-year (Year 1-3):
|
||||
|
||||
| | Standalone | Pro Forma | Accretion/(Dilution) |
|
||||
|---|-----------|-----------|---------------------|
|
||||
| Acquirer net income | | | |
|
||||
| Target net income | | | |
|
||||
| Synergies (after tax) | | | |
|
||||
| Foregone interest on cash (after tax) | | | |
|
||||
| New debt interest (after tax) | | | |
|
||||
| Intangible amortization (after tax) | | | |
|
||||
| Pro forma net income | | | |
|
||||
| Pro forma shares | | | |
|
||||
| **Pro forma EPS** | | | |
|
||||
| **Accretion / (Dilution) %** | | | |
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Sensitivity Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Accretion/Dilution vs. Synergies and Offer Premium:**
|
||||
|
||||
| | $0M syn | $25M syn | $50M syn | $75M syn | $100M syn |
|
||||
|---|---------|----------|----------|----------|-----------|
|
||||
| 15% premium | | | | | |
|
||||
| 20% premium | | | | | |
|
||||
| 25% premium | | | | | |
|
||||
| 30% premium | | | | | |
|
||||
|
||||
**Accretion/Dilution vs. Cash/Stock Mix:**
|
||||
|
||||
| | 100% cash | 75/25 | 50/50 | 25/75 | 100% stock |
|
||||
|---|-----------|-------|-------|-------|------------|
|
||||
| Year 1 | | | | | |
|
||||
| Year 2 | | | | | |
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Breakeven Synergies
|
||||
|
||||
Calculate the minimum synergies needed for the deal to be EPS-neutral in Year 1.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 7: Output
|
||||
|
||||
- Excel workbook with:
|
||||
- Assumptions tab
|
||||
- Sources & uses
|
||||
- Pro forma income statement
|
||||
- Accretion/dilution summary
|
||||
- Sensitivity tables
|
||||
- Breakeven analysis
|
||||
- One-page merger consequences summary for pitch book
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Always show both GAAP and adjusted (cash) EPS where relevant
|
||||
- Stock deals: use acquirer's current price for exchange ratio, note dilution from new shares
|
||||
- Include purchase price allocation — goodwill and intangible amortization matter for GAAP EPS
|
||||
- Synergy phase-in is critical — Year 1 is often only 25-50% of run-rate synergies
|
||||
- Don't forget foregone interest income on cash used and new interest expense on debt raised
|
||||
- Tax rate on synergies and interest adjustments should match the acquirer's marginal rate
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Data sources — MCP first, web fallback
|
||||
|
||||
Many passages below say "use the S&P Kensho MCP / Daloopa MCP / FactSet MCP". Those are commercial financial-data MCPs from the original Cowork plugin context. In Hermes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **If you have any structured financial-data MCP configured** (Hermes supports MCP — see `native-mcp` skill), prefer it for point-in-time comps, precedent transactions, and filings.
|
||||
- **Otherwise**, fall back to:
|
||||
- `web_search` / `web_extract` against SEC EDGAR (`https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar`) for US filings
|
||||
- Company IR pages for press releases, earnings decks
|
||||
- `browser_navigate` for interactive data portals
|
||||
- User-provided data (explicitly ask when the context doesn't have it)
|
||||
- **Never fabricate**. If a multiple, precedent, or filing number can't be sourced, flag the cell as `[UNSOURCED]` and surface it to the user.

## Attribution

This skill is adapted from Anthropic's Claude for Financial Services plugin suite (Apache-2.0). The Office-JS / Cowork live-Excel paths have been removed; this version targets headless openpyxl via the `excel-author` skill's conventions. Original: https://github.com/anthropics/financial-services
