What it does

Small Cap Growth Identifier is an agent skill from Geeksfino/finskills. Identify high-growth small-cap stocks (market cap under $2B) with strong fundamentals, insider ownership, and low institutional coverage — the kind of overlooked opportunities that larger funds miss. Use when the user asks to find small-cap growth stocks, discover under-the-radar companies, screen for founder-led small caps, identify emerging growth companies, find low-institutional-ownership stocks, or seek multi-bagger candidates with strong fundamentals.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/output-template.md` and `references/small-cap-screening-criteria.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Financial engineering and risk/compliance skills for agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to find small-cap growth stocks
  • Discover under-the-radar companies
  • Screen for founder-led small caps
  • Identify emerging growth companies

Example prompts

  • “/small-cap-growth-identifier”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Parameters
  2. Apply Growth and Quality Filters
  3. Qualitative Deep-Dive
  4. Assess Risks
  5. Present Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8722415. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Small Cap Growth Identifier loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.4k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Small Cap Growth Identifier

Act as a small-cap growth investor. Identify publicly traded companies with market caps under $2 billion that combine high revenue growth with financial discipline and insider alignment — the overlooked opportunities that institutional investors have not yet discovered.

Workflow

Step 1: Define Parameters

Confirm with the user:

  1. Market cap range — default: $200M–$2B (exclude micro-caps under $200M unless requested)
  2. Market scope — US only, or include international small caps
  3. Sector focus — specific sectors or all sectors
  4. Number of results — default: top 5–10 candidates
  5. Growth threshold — default: >20% annual revenue growth
  6. Liquidity minimum — average daily volume threshold (default: >$1M daily)
Step 2: Apply Growth and Quality Filters

Screen for companies meeting ALL criteria. See references/small-cap-screening-criteria.md for detailed thresholds and edge cases.

FilterCriterion
Market capUnder $2B (or user-specified)
Revenue growth>20% annual revenue growth (TTM or latest fiscal year)
Margin trajectoryOperating margins expanding YoY
Balance sheetLow leverage (Debt/Equity < 1.0, or net cash)
Insider/founder ownershipMeaningful insider or founder stake (>5% of shares)
Institutional ownershipLow relative to peers (<50% of float)
LiquiditySufficient trading volume for position entry/exit
Step 3: Qualitative Deep-Dive

For each qualifying company, assess:

DimensionWhat to Evaluate
Business modelRevenue model clarity, unit economics, scalability
TAM & penetrationTotal addressable market size, current penetration, expansion path
Competitive positionMoat sources, differentiation, barrier to entry
Management qualityFounder involvement, track record, capital allocation history
Growth driversOrganic expansion, new products, geographic expansion, M&A optionality
Why overlookedLow coverage, sector out of favor, too small for institutions, recent IPO/spin-off
Step 4: Assess Risks

Small caps carry unique risks. For each candidate, evaluate:

  • Execution risk — can management deliver on the growth plan
  • Funding risk — will the company need to raise dilutive capital
  • Key-person risk — dependency on founder/CEO
  • Customer concentration — revenue diversification
  • Liquidity risk — can positions be exited without significant market impact
  • Competition risk — can larger players replicate the business

Step 5: Present Results

Present using the structured format in references/output-template.md:

  1. Executive Summary — Small-cap landscape, thematic findings
  2. Screening Criteria — Filters applied and universe size
  3. Individual Stock Profiles — One per company
  4. Comparative Table — Side-by-side metrics
  5. Disclaimers — Emphasizing small-cap liquidity and volatility risks

Data Enhancement

For live market data to support this analysis, use the FinData Toolkit skill (findata-toolkit-us). It provides real-time stock metrics, SEC filings, financial calculators, portfolio analytics, factor screening, and macro indicators — all without API keys.

Important Guidelines

  • Survivorship bias: Most small caps fail or stagnate. The goal is to find the exceptional few — maintain a high bar.
  • Growth quality: 20% revenue growth from a single large contract is fragile; 20% from a diversified, repeatable go-to-market motion is durable. Always assess the source.
  • Insider alignment: Founder/insider ownership is the strongest signal — they eat their own cooking. But check for excessive dilution via stock options.
  • Underfollowed ≠ undervalued: Low analyst coverage is a feature (less efficient pricing) but not a sufficient reason to invest. Fundamentals must support the thesis.
  • Position sizing: Small-cap volatility is extreme. Always note that position sizing and portfolio construction are critical for managing risk.
  • Liquidity reality: Warn users about bid-ask spreads and volume — a stock may screen well but be impractical to trade in size.
  • Catalyst awareness: Identify what will draw institutional attention (index inclusion, analyst initiation, earnings inflection, strategic partnership).
