What it does

Biz Financial Ratios is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Analyze financial health using ratio categories: profitability, liquidity, leverage, efficiency, and valuation. Use this skill when the user needs to assess a company's financial performance, compare companies, evaluate creditworthiness, or prepare financial due diligence — even if they say 'is this company financially healthy', 'analyze these financial statements', or 'compare these two companies'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `examples/sample_input.json`, `references/industry-benchmarks.md` and `scripts/financial_ratios.py`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial analysis and Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to assess a companys financial performance
  • Compare companies
  • Evaluate creditworthiness
  • Prepare financial due diligence — even if they say is this company financially healthy

Example prompts

  • “is this company financially healthy”
  • “analyze these financial statements”
  • “compare these two companies”
  • “/biz-financial-ratios”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Calculate all relevant ratios from financial statements
  2. Compare against industry benchmarks and 3-year trend
  3. Identify red flags (declining trends, outliers vs peers)
  4. Synthesize a financial health verdict across all five categories
  5. Recommend actions based on weak areas

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Biz Financial Ratios loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 679 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Financial Ratio Analysis

Overview

Financial ratio analysis transforms raw financial statements into comparable metrics across five categories. Ratios are meaningful only in context — compare against industry benchmarks, historical trends, and peer companies.

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • User has financial statements and needs to assess company health
  • User comparing financial performance across companies
  • User performing due diligence or credit analysis
  • User asks "is this company financially healthy?" or "analyze these numbers"

When NOT to use:

  • For valuation → use DCF or comparables
  • For ROE deep-dive → use DuPont Analysis
  • For strategic assessment → use SWOT

Framework

IRON LAW: Ratios Without Context Are Meaningless

A current ratio of 1.5 means nothing alone. Is 1.5 good? Compare to:
1. Industry average (retail ~1.2, manufacturing ~1.8)
2. Company's own trend (was it 2.0 last year? → declining liquidity)
3. Peers (competitor has 2.5? → relatively weak)

NEVER report a ratio without at least one comparison point.
IRON LAW: All Five Categories, Every Time

Analyzing only profitability misses a leveraged company about to default.
Analyzing only liquidity misses a profitable company's growth potential.
Cover all five categories for a complete picture.
The Five Categories

1. Profitability — Is the company making money?

RatioFormulaMeasures
Gross Margin(Revenue - COGS) / RevenueProduction efficiency
Operating MarginEBIT / RevenueCore business profitability
Net MarginNet Income / RevenueBottom-line profitability
ROENet Income / EquityReturn to shareholders
ROANet Income / Total AssetsAsset productivity

2. Liquidity — Can it pay short-term obligations?

RatioFormulaHealthy
Current RatioCurrent Assets / Current Liabilities> 1.5
Quick Ratio(Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities> 1.0
Cash RatioCash / Current LiabilitiesContext-dependent

3. Leverage — How much debt is used?

RatioFormulaMeasures
Debt-to-EquityTotal Liabilities / EquityCapital structure
Interest CoverageEBIT / Interest ExpenseAbility to service debt
Debt-to-AssetsTotal Liabilities / Total AssetsAsset financing

⚠️ "Debt" definition: This skill (and the bundled script) defines "Debt" in the leverage ratios as Total Liabilities — not "long-term debt only" or "interest-bearing debt only". Both alternative definitions exist in textbooks and produce materially different ratios. If you need a different definition, document the choice explicitly and compute it manually; do not silently substitute.

4. Efficiency — How well are assets used?

RatioFormulaMeasures
Inventory TurnoverCOGS / Avg InventoryInventory management
Receivables TurnoverRevenue / Avg ReceivablesCollection speed
Asset TurnoverRevenue / Total AssetsAsset productivity
Cash Conversion CycleDIO + DSO - DPOCash cycle speed

5. Valuation — Is the stock fairly priced?

RatioFormulaMeasures
P/EPrice / EPSPrice vs earnings
EV/EBITDAEnterprise Value / EBITDAPrice vs cash generation
P/BPrice / Book Value per SharePrice vs net assets
Dividend YieldDividend per Share / PriceIncome return
Analysis Process
  1. Calculate all relevant ratios from financial statements
  2. Compare against industry benchmarks and 3-year trend
  3. Identify red flags (declining trends, outliers vs peers)
  4. Synthesize a financial health verdict across all five categories
  5. Recommend actions based on weak areas

Output Format

⚠️ Decimal vs percent: The bundled script returns all profitability ratios (gross_margin, operating_margin, net_margin, roa, roe) as decimals — 0.35 means 35%, NOT 35.0. Liquidity and leverage ratios are already unitless multiples (e.g. current_ratio: 2.125). Render percentages only in the human-facing markdown report, never in JSON outputs.

Examples

Correct Application

Scenario: Ratio analysis for a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer

RatioCompanyIndustryTrendFlag
Gross Margin18%22%↓ from 21%🔴 Below peers, declining
Current Ratio1.81.5→ stable🟢 Adequate
D/E1.20.8↑ from 0.9🟡 Rising leverage
Inventory Turnover4.2x6.0x↓ from 5.1x🔴 Slow inventory

Synthesis: Profitability weakening + inventory building up + leverage rising = potential working capital crisis ahead ✓

Incorrect Application
  • Reported "Gross Margin 18%" as standalone fact → No comparison. Is 18% good or bad? Violates Iron Law: ratios without context.
  • Only analyzed profitability ratios, missed D/E of 4.5x → Company appeared healthy by margins but was dangerously overleveraged. Violates Iron Law: all five categories.

Gotchas

  • Industry matters enormously: A 5% net margin is terrible for software (expect 20-30%) but excellent for grocery retail (expect 2-3%). Always benchmark within industry.
  • One-time items: Restructuring charges, asset sales, or legal settlements distort ratios for that period. Use adjusted figures or note the distortion.
  • Seasonal businesses: Ratios at different quarter-ends tell different stories. Use trailing 12-month or compare same quarter YoY.
  • Off-balance-sheet items: Operating leases (pre-IFRS 16), special purpose vehicles, and contingent liabilities may not appear in standard ratios. Check footnotes.
  • Growth companies look "unhealthy": High-growth companies often have low profitability, high leverage, and negative cash flow by design. Context matters.
