When to use

Trigger phrases:

• 8-K / 10-K / 10-Q / Form 4 / S-1 / proxy / DEF 14A
• 美股公告 / SEC filing / EDGAR
• insider trading / 内部人交易 / 高管交易
• 财报原文 / 招股书 / 风险因素 / MD&A

Not for: 13F holdings analysis (this skill lists 13F filings but does not

parse them into holdings — deferred to a future skill).

Workflow

• List filings: filings.py <TICKER> (optionally --type 8-K).
• Read filing text: pass primary_doc_url from the list output to

filing_text.py. Use --max-chars to cap; --section item1a for risk

factors, --section mda (Item 7) for MD&A.

• Insider trades: insider.py <TICKER> parses Form 4 XML for the

past --days window.

Environment auto-loaded; SEC_USER_AGENT is mandatory.

Error handling

| Exit code | Meaning | LLM action |

| --------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 0 | Success | Parse and narrate. |

| 2 | Missing SEC_USER_AGENT | Set in .env at project root. |

| 3 | HTTP 4xx, ticker not found, or unparseable XML | Read hint. Per-filing parse errors collected in meta.parse_errors. |

| 4 | Network | Suggest retry. |

Known limitations

• insider.py only scans the recent window of submissions (typically last

~1000 filings); deep history requires submissions/CIK*-N.json paging,

not implemented.

• filing_text.py uses an HTML-only extractor — XBRL inline tables are

stripped to text, not parsed into structured rows.

• Section slicing is regex-heuristic; trust meta.confidence.
• 10 req/s throttle applied globally across all *.sec.gov calls.
