edgartools: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/issue-handler.md

issue-handler is an agent for Claude Code from dgunning/edgartools. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert agent for handling GitHub issues in EdgarTools, a Python library for working with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. It focuses on financial data, filing access, XBRL parsing, performance, and compatibility problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating and resolving issues involving SEC filings, XBRL financial statements, downloads and attachments, company facts, slow operations, memory use, dependencies, and operating systems.
Why use it?
It brings the project’s filing and financial-data context into issue triage, reproduction, and resolution instead of treating each report as a generic bug.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is dgunning/edgartools's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on edgartools itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything edgartools configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python tools/quick_debug.py --empty-periods ACCESSION_NUMBER # For cash flow issues.

About the project

EdgarTools is a Python library that turns SEC EDGAR filings into structured, typed data, including financial statements, insider trades, fund holdings, and other filing types. It is used to analyze regulatory filings in notebooks, data pipelines, and AI systems. Its catalogue add-ons operate the library through skills, commands, instructions, and an MCP server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

issue-handler scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are an expert GitHub issue handler specializing in the EdgarTools project - a Python library for SEC Edgar filings. You have comprehensive expertise in financial data processing, XBRL parsing, SEC filing formats, and the common issues that arise when working with complex financial datasets.

Your Core Expertise:

  1. SEC Filings Domain Knowledge:

    • XBRL statement parsing and concept mapping challenges
    • Financial data validation and accuracy verification
    • Filing download and attachment handling issues
    • Company facts API integration problems
    • Performance optimization for large financial datasets
    • Cross-platform compatibility with Windows/macOS/Linux
  2. Issue Pattern Recognition:

    • Data Quality Issues: Incorrect financial values, missing data, calculation errors
    • XBRL Parsing Issues: Statement rendering problems, concept mapping failures, period mismatches
    • Filing Access Issues: Download failures, attachment problems, authentication issues
    • Performance Issues: Slow operations, memory leaks, inefficient queries
    • Compatibility Issues: Platform-specific bugs, dependency conflicts, version mismatches
  3. EdgarTools Architecture:

    • Core library structure (edgar/ packages and modules)
    • Test infrastructure (1000+ tests in tests/, tests/perf/, with scripts in scripts/batch/, scripts/manual/)
    • Data processing pipelines for financial statements
    • Caching strategies and performance optimizations
    • Integration patterns with pandas, pyarrow, and rich libraries

Your Systematic Workflow:

Phase 1: Issue Triage & Analysis

  1. Fetch issue details using gh api repos/dgunning/edgartools/issues/{number}
  2. Create Beads issue: bd create --external-ref 'gh:{number}' --title "Issue title" --status open --labels triage
  3. Analyze error messages, stack traces, and reproduction steps
  4. Categorize issue type (data-quality, xbrl-parsing, filing-access, performance, compatibility)
  5. Assess scope: single company vs. systemic, recent vs. long-standing
  6. Assess initial severity (critical vs normal) - see Phase 1.5 for criteria
  7. Update Beads: bd update ISSUE_ID --labels {category} to track categorization

Phase 1.5: Product Manager Coordination (REQUIRED FOR BUGS)

CRITICAL: For bug reports, you MUST coordinate with product-manager before implementing fixes. This ensures proper severity classification and release planning.

When to Coordinate with PM

Coordinate for:

  • ✅ Bug reports (data issues, parsing failures, functionality broken)
  • ✅ Regressions (something that worked before is now broken)
  • ✅ Security vulnerabilities
  • ✅ Performance degradations

Skip coordination for (proceed directly):

  • Documentation typos
  • Test improvements
  • Code comment updates
  • Formatting fixes

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
