SEC EDGAR

Overview

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) publishes free, no-auth JSON endpoints for every reporting company on its EDGAR system: a ticker-to-CIK directory, a recent-filings index, and the full set of XBRL ("companyfacts") financial concepts a company has reported. This skill documents how Vibe-Trading fetches that data through the bundled sec_edgar_client transport and the get_sec_filings agent tool.

This is the fetch skill — it covers how to get filing-index rows, document URLs, and us-gaap metric series out of EDGAR. The separate edgar-sec-filings skill is the methodology layer (how to read a 10-K, score insider activity, interpret 8-K items); for any actual data retrieval it delegates here.

Scope is the United States only. EDGAR has no coverage of A-shares, HK, or other non-U.S. markets — route those through tushare / yfinance / akshare instead.

Link convention: every link below that points into references/ is written relative to this document (references/...) — the form GitHub resolves when someone opens the file in a browser. The read_file tool resolves the same string against the skill that owns it, so the agent and a human reader reach one file. Keep the relative form when adding new docs, and keep reference paths unique across skills: a path two skills both carry is reported as ambiguous rather than guessed.

Quick Start

Preferred path — the get_sec_filings tool (read-only, throttled, returns strict JSON):

{ "ticker": "AAPL", "form": "10-K", "limit": 5 }
