What it does

Sector Performance Snapshot is an agent skill from OctagonAI/skills. Retrieve a snapshot of market sector performance using Octagon MCP. Use when analyzing sector-wide metrics including revenue, EBITDA, net income, market cap, and enterprise value for companies within a specific sector and exchange.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 MCP servers. 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 sector-wide metrics including revenue
  • Enterprise value for companies within a specific sector and exchange

Example prompts

  • “/sector-performance-snapshot”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Parameters
  2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP
  3. Expected Output
  4. Interpret Results

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

Sector Performance Snapshot loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 578 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
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
~4.3k

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.

  3. Track trends: Point-in-time vs. direction.

  4. Weight by size: Large companies dominate aggregates.

  5. Look for outliers: May indicate opportunities or risks.

  6. Combine with macro: Sector performance reflects economy.
