Second Brain

Claude for Financial Services Reference agents, skills, and data connectors for the financial-services workflows we see most — investment banking, equity research, private equity, and wealth management. Everything here is available two ways from one source : install it as a Claude Cowork plugin, or deploy it through the Claude Managed Agents API behind your own workflow engine. Same system prompt, same skills — you choose where it runs. Important Nothing in this repository constitutes investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. These agents draft analyst work product — models, memos, research notes, reconciliations — for review by a qualified professional. They do not make investment recommendations, execute transactions, bind risk, post to a ledger, or approve onboarding; every output is staged for human sign-off. You are responsible for verifying outputs and for compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to your firm. What's in the repo: Agents — named, end-to-end workflow agents (Pitch Agent, Market Researcher, GL Reconciler, …). Each ships as a Cowork plugin and as a Claude Managed Agent template you deploy via /v1/agents . Vertical plugins — the underlying skills, slash commands, and data connectors, bundled by FSI vertical. Install these on their own if you just want /comps , /dcf , /earnings and the connectors without a full agent. Agents Each agent is named for the workflow it runs. They're starting points: install the ones that match your work, then tune the prompts, skills, and connectors to how your firm does it. Each agent plugin is self-contained — it bundles the skills it uses, so installing the agent is all you need. Function Agent What it does Coverage & advisory Pitch Agent Comps, precedents, LBO → branded pitch deck, end to end Meeting Prep Agent Briefing pack before every client meeting Research & modeling Market Researcher Sector or theme → industry overview, competitive landscape, peer comps, ideas shortlist Earnings Reviewer Earnings call + filings → model update → note draft Model Builder DCF, LBO, 3-statement, comps — live in Excel Fund admin & finance ops Valuation Reviewer Ingests GP packages, runs valuation template, stages LP reporting GL Reconciler Finds breaks, traces root cause, routes for sign-off Month-End Closer Accruals, roll-forwards, variance commentary Statement Auditor Audits LP statements before distribution Operations & onboarding KYC Screener Parses onboarding docs, runs the rules engine, flags gaps For Managed Agent deployment — agent.yaml , leaf-worker subagents, steering-event examples, and per-agent security notes — see managed-agent-cookbooks/ .

Claude Managed Agents export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... scripts/deploy-managed-agent.sh gl-reconciler Each template under managed-agent-cookbooks/ references the same system prompt and skills as its plugin counterpart. The deploy script resolves file references, uploads skills, creates leaf-worker subagents, and POSTs the orchestrator to /v1/agents . See scripts/orchestrate.py for a reference event loop that routes handoff_request events between agents via your own orchestration layer. Research Preview: subagent delegation ( callable_agents ) is a preview capability. See per-agent READMEs for security and handoff guidance. How It Fits Together What it is Where it lives Agents Self-contained plugins that own a workflow end to end — system prompt plus the skills it uses. Cowork and the Managed Agent wrapper both reference the same directory. plugins/agent-plugins/<slug>/ Skills Domain expertise, conventions, and step-by-step methods Claude draws on automatically when relevant. Authored once in the verticals; each agent bundles a synced copy of the ones it needs. plugins/vertical-plugins/<vertical>/skills/ (source) · plugins/agent-plugins/<slug>/skills/ (bundled) Commands Slash actions you trigger explicitly ( /comps , /earnings , /ic-memo ). plugins/vertical-plugins/<vertical>/commands/ Connectors MCP servers that wire Claude to your data — terminals, research platforms, document stores. plugins/vertical-plugins/financial-analysis/.mcp.json Managed-agent wrappers agent.yaml + depth-1 subagents + steering examples for headless deployment. managed-agent-cookbooks/<slug>/ Everything is file-based — markdown and JSON, no build step.

Claude for Microsoft 365 — Install Tooling If your firm runs Claude inside Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook via the Microsoft 365 add-in, claude-for-msft-365-install/ is the admin tooling to provision it against your own cloud — Vertex AI, Bedrock, or an internal LLM gateway — instead of Anthropic's API. It's a Claude Code plugin (not a Cowork plugin) that walks an IT admin through generating the customized add-in manifest, granting Azure admin consent, and writing per-user routing config via Microsoft Graph. Install with: claude plugin install claude-for-msft-365-install@claude-for-financial-services /claude-for-msft-365-install:setup This is separate from the agents and vertical plugins above — it's the on-ramp that gets the add-in deployed in a tenant, after which the agents and skills here are what runs inside it. Making It Yours These are reference templates — they get better when you tune them to how your firm works. Swap connectors — point .mcp.json at your data providers and internal systems. Add firm context — drop your terminology, processes, and formatting standards into skill files. Bring your templates — /ppt-template teaches Claude your branded PowerPoint layouts. Adjust agent scope — edit agents/<slug>.md to match how your team actually runs the workflow. Add your own — copy the structure for workflows we haven't covered.
