How the SEC Filing Analysis skill works

SEC Filing Analysis

Framing: Analyze only the filing the user gives you. Cite the section for every point ("per Item 1A", "MD&A p. 34"). This is a reading aid, not legal or investment advice, and does not replace reading the primary document.

Quick start

Ask the user to upload the filing (PDF or text) or paste the relevant sections. If they name a filing without providing it, ask for the document — do not summarize from memory. Then identify the filing type and run the matching lens below.

Determine filing type

  • 10-K — annual report: full-year financials, business, complete Risk Factors, MD&A.
  • 10-Q — quarterly: shorter, focus on what CHANGED vs the last 10-K and QoQ trends.
  • 8-K — current report of a material event: identify the triggering Item number and what it discloses (results, exec change, M&A, going concern, etc.).
  • S-1 — IPO prospectus: use of proceeds, cap table, dilution, risk factors, growth story.
  • DEF 14A (proxy) — governance, executive comp, board, shareholder proposals.

What to extract

  1. Header — filer, filing type, period covered, filing date (from the document).

  2. Material items — the 3-7 things that actually matter here, each cited to a section. For an 8-K, lead with the triggering event; for a 10-Q, lead with what changed.

  3. MD&A highlights — management's own explanation of results and trends: revenue drivers, margin commentary, liquidity, and guidance. Quote, don't paraphrase away, the hedges.

  4. Risk factors — the most consequential risks (not the whole boilerplate list). Flag any that are NEW vs a prior filing if the user provides both.

  5. Red flags — items warranting a closer look: going-concern language, restatements, auditor changes, related-party transactions, rising customer/supplier concentration, unusual accounting, large one-time items. Only flag what is in the document.

  6. What to read in full — point the user to the exact sections they should not take secondhand.

Guardrails

  • Document-grounded only. Every claim cites a section of the provided filing. Nothing from memory or outside knowledge presented as fact from the filing.
  • Not advice. This is a summary to speed the user's own reading — not legal or investment advice, and not a substitute for the primary source.
  • Preserve hedges and caveats. Management's qualifiers are material; don't smooth them out.
  • Flag missing sections. If the paste is partial, say which sections you could not see.
