# 10-K Report Digest ## ⚠️ Data Verification — Do This Before Any Analysis Before running the digest, confirm the filing details: 1. **Identify the filing** — confirm ticker, fiscal year-end, and exact 10-K filing date from SEC EDGAR. 2. **State your source** — note where the document came from (e.g., "SEC EDGAR, FY2024 10-K filed 2025-02-05") at the top of the output. 3. **Flag incomplete data** — if only partial sections are available, list what is missing before proceeding. > ⚠️ **Source unavailable.** If the full 10-K cannot be retrieved, display this warning and proceed only with the sections provided. --- Produce a clean, structured markdown document that distills a company's 10-K annual report into an abstract, per-section summaries, a digest of key metrics, and full source references. Designed for quick comprehension — not trading signals. Output language is selectable: English or Traditional Chinese (繁體中文). ## How to Use Provide input in any of these ways: - **By ticker**: `AAPL` — fetches the latest 10-K from SEC EDGAR - **With fiscal year**: `MSFT FY2024` - **Pasted text**: paste 10-K sections directly into the prompt - **Language flag**: add `--lang zh-TW` to output in Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) - **File output**: add `--output .md` to save the digest as a markdown file --- ## Output Document Structure The skill produces a single markdown document with the following sections in order. --- ### 1. Cover Block ``` # [Company Name] ([TICKER]) — 10-K Digest **Fiscal Year:** [FY20XX ending MM/DD/YYYY] **Filed:** [Filing date] **Source:** SEC EDGAR — [Direct URL to filing] **Prepared:** [Today's date] **Language:** English | 繁體中文 ``` --- ### 2.
