What it does

Financial Growth is an agent skill from OctagonAI/skills. Retrieve comprehensive year-over-year growth in key financial metrics including Revenue, Gross Profit, Operating Income, Net Income, EPS, and Free Cash Flow. Use when analyzing overall company financial performance trends across income statement and cash flow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `marketplace.json` and `references/interpreting-results.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial analysis. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Claude skills for agentic financial research by Octagon. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Analyzing overall company financial performance trends across income statement and cash flow
Tasks that involve Financial analysis

Example prompts

“/financial-growth”

Workflow steps

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

Peak performance years: Identify years with highest growth across all metrics
Earnings vs cash flow divergence: Compare Net Income growth to FCF growth
Margin trends: Compare Gross Profit and Operating Income growth to Revenue
EPS enhancement: Note when EPS growth exceeds Net Income growth (buybacks)
Challenging periods: Flag years with broad-based declines

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51e938c. 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 (its code samples are json).
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

Financial Growth loads about 998 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~998
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.5k

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.

Exceptional Growth Years

When all metrics show double-digit growth:

Identify specific drivers (new products, markets, pricing)
Assess sustainability of growth rate
Compare to industry and competitors

Earnings Quality Check

When Net Income Growth >> Free Cash Flow Growth:

Potential working capital build
Aggressive revenue recognition
One-time items boosting earnings
Investigate cash conversion

When EPS Growth > Net Income Growth:

Active share repurchase program
Check shares outstanding trend
Assess capital allocation priorities

Margin Expansion

When Operating Income Growth > Revenue Growth:

Operating leverage at work
Cost discipline showing results
Pricing power in action

Contraction Periods

When multiple metrics decline:

Identify root cause (demand, competition, costs)
Check if industry-wide or company-specific
Look for recovery signals in subsequent periods

Follow-up Queries

Based on results, suggest deeper analysis:

"What factors contributed to the significant [YEAR] growth spike?"
"How did the [YEAR] downturn impact [COMPANY]'s long-term strategy?"
"What explains the [YEAR] net income growth despite lower free cash flow?"
"Compare [COMPANY]'s growth metrics to [PEER1] and [PEER2]"
