These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

initiating-coverage 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 9d 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.

Initiating Coverage

Create institutional-quality equity research initiation reports through a structured 5-task workflow. Each task must be executed separately with verified inputs.

Overview

This skill produces comprehensive first-time coverage reports following institutional standards (JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley format). Tasks are executed individually, each verifying prerequisites before proceeding.

Default Font: Times New Roman throughout all documents (unless user specifies otherwise).


⚠️ CRITICAL: One Task at a Time

THIS SKILL OPERATES IN SINGLE-TASK MODE ONLY.

If User Requests Full Pipeline

When user requests:

  • "Create a coverage initiation report for [Company]"
  • "Write an initiation report for [Company]"
  • "Do the entire equity research process for [Company]"
  • "Complete all 5 tasks for [Company]"
  • Any request that implies running multiple tasks or the entire workflow

REQUIRED RESPONSE:

  1. Ask which specific task to perform:

    I can help you create an equity research initiation report for [Company].
    This involves 5 separate tasks that need to be completed individually:
    
    1. Company Research - Research business, management, industry
    2. Financial Modeling - Build projection model
    3. Valuation Analysis - DCF and comparable companies
    4. Chart Generation - Create 25-35 charts
    5. Report Assembly - Compile final report
    
    Which task would you like to start with?
    
  2. When user explicitly requests all tasks together:

    I understand you'd like to complete the entire initiation report pipeline.
    Currently, this skill supports executing one task at a time, which allows
    for better quality control and review at each stage.
    
    We're working on a seamless end-to-end workflow that will make this process
    more automated, but for now, we'll need to complete each task separately.
    
    Would you like to start with Task 1 (Company Research)?
    
  3. Never automatically assume which task to start - always ask user to confirm.

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.
