Methodology

1. Retrieval Scope

This skill performs structured data retrieval (XBRL facts + earnings calendar) plus earnings call transcript document search (search_documents(form_type="earnings_call_transcript") → read_source_pages) to cross-reference management's call commentary against the reported quarter. Business-model structural analysis is handled by /agentii:business-model . This skill is TEMPORAL/QUANTITATIVE .

2. Retrieval Strategy

1. ** Pre-flight (mandatory)**: get_company_fiscal_calendar/{ticker} then get_ticker_coverage/{ticker}. Route based on coverage.
2. XBRL retrieval: search_xbrl_facts(ticker, concept=["Revenues","GrossProfit","OperatingIncomeLoss","NetIncomeLoss","EarningsPerShareDiluted"], fiscal_year=[latest]) — returns is_primary: true rows by default.
3. Earnings calendar: search_earnings_calendar(ticker, fiscal_year=[latest, latest-1]) — returns EPS actual/estimate/surprise. Use get_company_fiscal_calendar for fiscal period orientation, NOT search_earnings_calendar .
4. Consolidated P&L: get_company_financials/{ticker} returns IS/BS/CF highlights with XBRL data.

Read before you quote. A page's description is platform-generated — it is never the issuer's words and must never be quoted as the filing's. When a description identifies a relevant page, read_source_pages that page and quote its page_content. The description is a pointer, not a source: a citation written from one is the fabricated quote this skill's output standard exists to prevent (contracts/retrieval.md § Three-Layer Document Protocol).

3. Temporal Scope

Default: 1 fiscal quarter (max 4). This skill is a temporal snapshot of the most recent quarter's financial performance.

4. Tool Allowlist

See frontmatter allowed_tools. search_xbrl_facts is the primary data source for consolidated P&L metrics; search_earnings_calendar provides EPS actuals, estimates, and surprise data; get_company_fiscal_calendar resolves fiscal period orientation; search_documents(form_type="earnings_call_transcript") + read_source_pages cross-reference management commentary. Deep structural analysis belongs to /agentii:business-model .

5. Protocol

1. Pre-retrieval: call get_company_fiscal_calendar/{ticker} to resolve fiscal period format, then get_ticker_coverage/{ticker} .
2. XBRL retrieval: search_xbrl_facts(ticker, concept=["Revenues","GrossProfit","OperatingIncomeLoss","NetIncomeLoss","EarningsPerShareDiluted"], fiscal_year=[latest]) — returns is_primary: true rows by default.
3. Earnings calendar: search_earnings_calendar(ticker, fiscal_year=[latest, latest-1]) for EPS actuals, estimates, and surprise percentages.
4. Financial highlights: get_company_financials/{ticker} for IS/BS/CF summary data.
5. Output: produce P&L progression table with QoQ and YoY growth rates, margin trend chart data, and earnings-vs-consensus comparison.

Modes (5 — temporal / quantitative)

This skill is temporal/quantitative ONLY. Structural analysis (business model classification, product-line decomposition, channel analysis) belongs to /agentii:business-model . Modes below focus on quarterly P&L data, growth rates, margins, and earnings vs. consensus.

Analyst Modes

This skill exposes addressable analysis modes (--mode=<slug> / --modes=<s1>,<s2> / --mode=all; see Mode syntax). The full mode definitions and their output templates live in references/modes.md. The default invocation runs the essentials subset.

Tool Fallbacks

Per-tool failure modes and fallback actions are tabulated in references/tool-fallbacks.md.

Output File

Write the final deliverable to {ticker}/{YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM}_recent-quarter_{affix}.md . Example affixes: consolidated-p-and-l, margin-trends, earnings-vs-consensus.
