What it does

Consensus Check is an agent skill from Yijia-Xiao/FinanceHarness. Summarize the sell-side view on an equity — analyst price targets, forward EPS/revenue estimates and ratings — and corroborate it against recent guidance and estimate revisions from the web.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: FinanceHarness: Autonomous Financial Deep Research Framework. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/consensus-check”

Workflow steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1163c5e. 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

Consensus Check loads about 374 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~374

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.

Consensus check

What the Street expects for a name, and whether recent news supports it.

Workflow

  1. Consensus snapshot. data_equity_estimates for price targets (mean/median, range vs current), forward EPS by period (mean, range, analyst counts, growth) and revenue by period (mean, growth), and the buy/hold/sell spread.
  2. Corroborate. search + visit recent, authoritative coverage — the latest earnings/guidance, notable upgrades/downgrades, and the direction of estimate revisions. Ground each specific claim in a page you read.
  3. Report. The consensus expectation and the dispersion (tight vs wide targets), the rating skew, and whether recent developments are pushing estimates up or down.

Principles

  • These are estimates — present them as consensus expectations, not facts, and note the dispersion (a wide target range is itself the signal).
  • Pair the tool's consensus numbers with what changed recently; a stale consensus and a fresh guidance cut tell different stories.
  • Attribute web-sourced specifics to the page you read; mark anything you couldn't confirm as unverified.
