# 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](https://claude.com/product/cowork) plugin, or deploy it through the [Claude Managed Agents API](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/managed-agents) 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](#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](./managed-agent-cookbooks) you deploy via `/v1/agents`.
- **[Vertical plugins](#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](./plugins/agent-plugins/pitch-agent)** | Comps, precedents, LBO → branded pitch deck, end to end |
| | **[Meeting Prep Agent](./plugins/agent-plugins/meeting-prep-agent)** | Briefing pack before every client meeting |
| **Research & modeling** | **[Market Researcher](./plugins/agent-plugins/market-researcher)** | Sector or theme → industry overview, competitive landscape, peer comps, ideas shortlist |
| | **[Earnings Reviewer](./plugins/agent-plugins/earnings-reviewer)** | Earnings call + filings → model update → note draft |
| | **[Model Builder](./plugins/agent-plugins/model-builder)** | DCF, LBO, 3-statement, comps — live in Excel |
| **Fund admin & finance ops** | **[Valuation Reviewer](./plugins/agent-plugins/valuation-reviewer)** | Ingests GP packages, runs valuation template, stages LP reporting |
| | **[GL Reconciler](./plugins/agent-plugins/gl-reconciler)** | Finds breaks, traces root cause, routes for sign-off |
| | **[Month-End Closer](./plugins/agent-plugins/month-end-closer)** | Accruals, roll-forwards, variance commentary |
| | **[Statement Auditor](./plugins/agent-plugins/statement-auditor)** | Audits LP statements before distribution |
| **Operations & onboarding** | **[KYC Screener](./plugins/agent-plugins/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/](./managed-agent-cookbooks)**.

```

## Getting Started

### Cowork

In Cowork, open **Settings → Plugins → Add plugin** and either:

- **Paste this repo URL** — `https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-financial-services` — then pick the agents and verticals you want from the marketplace list, or
- **Upload a zip** — zip any directory under `plugins/` (e.g. `plugins/agent-plugins/pitch-agent/`) and drop it in.

### Claude Code

```bash
# Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-for-financial-services

# Core skills + connectors (install first)
claude plugin install financial-analysis@claude-for-financial-services

# Named agents — pick the ones you want
claude plugin install pitch-agent@claude-for-financial-services
claude plugin install gl-reconciler@claude-for-financial-services
claude plugin install market-researcher@claude-for-financial-services

# Vertical skill bundles
claude plugin install investment-banking@claude-for-financial-services
claude plugin install equity-research@claude-for-financial-services
```

Once installed, agents appear in Cowork dispatch, skills fire automatically when relevant, and slash commands are available in your session (`/comps`, `/dcf`, `/earnings`, `/ic-memo`, …).

### Claude Managed Agents

```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
scripts/deploy-managed-agent.sh gl-reconciler
```

Each template under [`managed-agent-cookbooks/`](./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`](./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](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) 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.

## Vertical Plugins

## 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/`](./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:

```bash
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.

## Contributing

Everything here is markdown and YAML. Fork, edit, PR. For new content:

- New skill → add it under `plugins/vertical-plugins/<vertical>/skills/`, then run `python3 scripts/sync-agent-skills.py` to propagate to any agent that bundles it.
- New agent → `plugins/agent-plugins/<slug>/` (with `agents/<slug>.md` + `skills/`) and a matching `managed-agent-cookbooks/<slug>/`.
- Run `python3 scripts/check.py` before pushing — it lints every manifest, verifies all cross-file references resolve, and fails if any bundled skill has drifted from its vertical source.
