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)

SEC Filings Data Extraction Reference
When to Use: Only reference this file when a model template specifically requires pulling data from SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q). For templates that provide data directly or use other data sources, this reference is not needed.
Extracting Data from SEC Filings (10-K / 10-Q)
When populating a model template with public company data, extract financials directly from SEC filings.
Step 1: Locate the Filing
- Use SEC EDGAR:
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=[TICKER]&type=10-K - For quarterly data, use
type=10-Q
Step 2: Identify Filing Currency
Before extracting data, identify the reporting currency:
- Check the cover page or header for reporting currency
- Look at statement headers (e.g., "in thousands of U.S. dollars")
- Review Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies)
Common Currency Indicators
| Indicator | Currency |
|---|---|
| $, USD | US Dollar |
| €, EUR | Euro |
| £, GBP | British Pound |
| ¥, JPY | Japanese Yen |
| ¥, CNY, RMB | Chinese Yuan |
| CHF | Swiss Franc |
| CAD, C$ | Canadian Dollar |
Set model currency to match filing; document in Assumptions tab.
Step 3: Navigate to Financial Statements
Within the 10-K or 10-Q, locate:
- Item 8 (10-K) or Item 1 (10-Q): Financial Statements
- Key sections to extract:
- Consolidated Statements of Operations (Income Statement)
- Consolidated Balance Sheets
- Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
- Notes to Financial Statements (for schedule details)
Step 4: Data Extraction Mapping
Income Statement (from Consolidated Statements of Operations)
| Filing Line Item | Model Line Item |
|---|---|
| Net revenues / Net sales | Revenue |
| Cost of goods sold | COGS |
| Selling, general and administrative | SG&A |
| Depreciation and amortization | D&A |
| Interest expense, net | Interest Expense |
| Income tax expense | Taxes |
| Net income | Net Income |
Balance Sheet (from Consolidated Balance Sheets)
| Filing Line Item | Model Line Item |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | Cash |
| Accounts receivable, net | AR |
| Inventories | Inventory |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | PP&E (Net) |
| Total assets | Total Assets |
| Accounts payable | AP |
| Short-term debt / Current portion of LT debt | Current Debt |
| Long-term debt | LT Debt |
| Retained earnings | Retained Earnings |
| Total stockholders' equity | Total Equity |
Cash Flow Statement (from Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows)
| Filing Line Item | Model Line Item |
|---|---|
| Net income | Net Income |
| Depreciation and amortization | D&A |
| Changes in accounts receivable | ΔAR |
| Changes in inventories | ΔInventory |
| Changes in accounts payable | ΔAP |
| Capital expenditures | CapEx |
| Proceeds from issuance of common stock | Equity Issuance |
| Proceeds from / Repayments of debt | Debt activity |
| Dividends paid | Dividends |
Step 5: Extract Supporting Detail from Notes
For schedules, pull from Notes to Financial Statements:
- Note: Debt → Maturity schedule, interest rates, covenants
- Note: Property, Plant & Equipment → Gross PP&E, accumulated depreciation, useful lives
- Note: Revenue → Segment breakdowns, geographic splits
- Note: Leases → Operating vs. finance lease obligations
Step 6: Historical Data Requirements
Extract 3 years of historical data minimum:
- 10-K provides 3 years of IS/CF, 2 years of BS
- For 3rd year BS, pull from prior year's 10-K
- Use 10-Qs to fill in quarterly granularity if needed
Data Extraction Checklist
- Identify reporting currency and scale (thousands, millions)
- 3 years historical Income Statement
- 3 years historical Cash Flow Statement
- 3 years historical Balance Sheet
- Verify IS Net Income = CF starting Net Income (each year)
- Verify BS Cash = CF Ending Cash (each year)
- Extract debt maturity schedule from notes
- Extract D&A detail or useful life assumptions
- Note any non-recurring / one-time items to normalize
Handling Common Filing Variations
| Variation | How to Handle |
|---|---|
| D&A embedded in COGS/SG&A | Pull D&A from Cash Flow Statement |
| "Other" line items are material | Check notes for breakdown |
| Restatements | Use restated figures, note in assumptions |
| Fiscal year ≠ calendar year | Label with fiscal year end (e.g., FYE Jan 2025) |
| Non-USD reporting currency | Adapt model currency to match filing |
