The Agent Skills Directory

[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the user to install the Octagon MCP server using npx -y octagon-mcp@latest. This downloads and executes an external package from the npm registry to provide the market intelligence tools.
[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The documentation in references/mcp-setup.md provides the standard installation command for Homebrew, which involves downloading a shell script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh and executing it via bash. This is a well-known and standard setup procedure for macOS development environments.
[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: To configure the AI agent (e.g., Cursor, Claude Desktop), the skill requires executing local shell commands that set environment variables (OCTAGON_API_KEY) and run the npx command. These are manual configuration steps performed by the user to enable the MCP server's functionality.
[INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes financial data retrieved from external sources (SEC filings) via the octagon-agent tool. This is an inherent attack surface where instructions could theoretically be hidden in public disclosures to influence an AI's analysis.
Ingestion points: External SEC 10-K filings processed by the Octagon MCP server.
Boundary markers: Not explicitly defined in the prompt instructions, though the skill provides a structured framework for data interpretation.
Capability inventory: The skill facilitates analysis and visualization within the agent's context; it does not grant the external data source direct access to system commands or file-writing capabilities.
Sanitization: Relies on the underlying AI model and the MCP server's internal processing to filter and structure the financial data before presentation.
