What it does

Ratings Snapshot is an agent skill from OctagonAI/skills. Retrieve ratings snapshot with overall rating and key metric scores including DCF, ROE, ROA, Debt-to-Equity, P/E, and P/B for public companies. Use when screening stocks, comparing quality metrics, or quick fundamental assessment.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 modeling. 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

  • Screening stocks
  • Comparing quality metrics
  • Quick fundamental assessment

Example prompts

  • “/ratings-snapshot”

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

Ratings Snapshot loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

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.

Analysis Tips

Quick Screening

Use ratings for initial filtering:

  • Focus on A/B overall ratings
  • Look for multiple high component scores
  • Flag low scores for investigation
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses

Component analysis reveals:

  • High ROE + High ROA = Efficient operator
  • Low D/E = Conservative financing
  • Low P/E + Low P/B = Value candidate
  • High DCF = Potentially undervalued
Peer Comparison

Compare ratings across competitors:

  • Same industry normalization important
  • Relative ranking within sector
  • Identify best-in-class

Value vs Quality Trade-off

Different profiles:

  • High profitability + High valuation = Quality premium
  • Low profitability + Low valuation = Value trap risk
  • High profitability + Low valuation = Potential opportunity

Component Deep Dives

DCF (Discounted Cash Flow)
  • Compares intrinsic value to market price
  • High score = stock appears undervalued
  • Based on cash flow projections
ROE (Return on Equity)
  • Net Income / Shareholders' Equity
  • Measures profit per dollar of equity
  • Industry-relative comparison important
ROA (Return on Assets)
  • Net Income / Total Assets
  • Measures profit per dollar of assets
  • Lower for asset-heavy industries
Debt-to-Equity
  • Total Debt / Shareholders' Equity
  • Lower = less financial risk
  • Industry norms vary significantly
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)
  • Stock Price / Earnings Per Share
  • Lower may indicate value
  • Compare to growth rate (PEG)
P/B (Price-to-Book)
  • Market Cap / Book Value
  • Lower may indicate value
  • Less relevant for asset-light companies

Follow-up Queries

Based on results, suggest deeper analysis:

  • "What specific ratings criteria are used to calculate these scores?"
  • "Are there historical trends in these metrics for [COMPANY]?"
  • "What is the methodology for calculating the overall rating from component scores?"
  • "Compare detailed financial metrics for [TICKER1] vs [TICKER2]"
