Claude for Financial Services is a collection of agents, skills, commands, plugins, and data connectors for investment banking, equity research, private equity, and wealth-management workflows. Financial professionals use it to draft models, memos, research notes, and reconciliations for review by qualified people. The catalogue contains components from these workflows, including agents, skills, plugins, commands, and instructions.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00035 | $0.00442 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00221 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00088 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
pptx-author 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 8d 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.

What it actually says
pptx-author
Use this skill when running headless (managed-agent / CMA mode) and you need to deliver a PowerPoint deck as a file artifact rather than editing a live document via mcp__office__powerpoint_*.
Output contract
- Write to
./out/<name>.pptx. Create./out/if it does not exist. - Return the relative path in your final message so the orchestration layer can collect it.
How to build the deck
Write a short Python script and run it with Bash. Use python-pptx:
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
prs = Presentation("./templates/firm-template.pptx") # if a template is provided
# or: prs = Presentation()
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[5]) # title-only
slide.shapes.title.text = "Valuation Summary"
# ... add tables / charts / text boxes ...
prs.save("./out/pitch-<target>.pptx")
Conventions (mirror the live-Office pitch-deck skill)
- One idea per slide. Title states the takeaway; body supports it.
- Every number traces to the model. If a figure comes from
./out/model.xlsx, footnote the sheet and cell. - Use the firm template when one is mounted at
./templates/; otherwise default layouts. - Charts: prefer embedding a PNG rendered from the model over native pptx charts when fidelity matters.
- No external sends. This skill writes a file; it never emails or uploads.
When NOT to use
If mcp__office__powerpoint_* tools are available (Cowork plugin mode), use those instead — they drive the user's live document with review checkpoints. This skill is the file-producing fallback for headless runs.
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

pptx-author is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/financial-services (34,727 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 442 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
