What it does

Analyzing Financial Statements is an agent skill from simbajigege/book2skills. Apply Xiao Xing's financial statement analysis framework from 一本书读懂财报 (Understanding Financial Reports in One Book). Use this skill whenever a user wants to assess whether a company's assets are of high quality, verify whether reported profits are real, diagnose cash flow health, evaluate solvency and turnover efficiency, or judge overall investment value via ROIC. Covers industry context analysis, asset & liability quality check, profit authenticity verification, cash flow diagnosis, solvency analysis, and…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 28 other files (for example `README.md`, `subskills/m1_industry_analysis/module.md` and `subskills/m1_industry_analysis/references/case_library.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial analysis. The repository describes itself as: Create best skills based on best books.

When your agent uses it

  • A user wants to assess whether a companys assets are of high quality
  • Verify whether reported profits are real
  • Diagnose cash flow health
  • Evaluate solvency and turnover efficiency

Example prompts

  • “analyze financials”
  • “is this company healthy”
  • “are profits real”
  • “/analyzing-financial-statements”

Workflow steps

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

  1. M1 几乎总是第一步,为其他 subskill 提供行业基准
  2. 每个 subskill 的输出作为下一个 subskill 的输入
  3. 用户数据不足时先追问,不用假设填充数据
  4. 单一问题不全跑,按路由表精确调用

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5ba66c. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • book2skills.com

    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

Analyzing Financial Statements loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 194 tokens; SKILL.md has 141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~194
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.
