Claude for Financial Services

Reference agents, skills, and data connectors for the financial-services workflows we see most — investment banking, equity research, private equity, and wealth management.

Everything here is available two ways from one source: install it as a Claude Cowork plugin, or deploy it through the Claude Managed Agents API behind your own workflow engine. Same system prompt, same skills — you choose where it runs.

What's in the repo:

- Agents — named, end-to-end workflow agents (Pitch Agent, Market Researcher, GL Reconciler, …). Each ships as a Cowork plugin and as a Claude Managed Agent template you deploy via /v1/agents.
- Vertical plugins — the underlying skills, slash commands, and data connectors, bundled by FSI vertical. Install these on their own if you just want /comps, /dcf, /earnings and the connectors without a full agent.

Agents Copy Chapter

Each agent is named for the workflow it runs. They're starting points: install the ones that match your work, then tune the prompts, skills, and connectors to how your firm does it.

Each agent plugin is self-contained — it bundles the skills it uses, so installing the agent is all you need.

| Function | Agent | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage & advisory | Pitch Agent | Comps, precedents, LBO → branded pitch deck, end to end |
| | Meeting Prep Agent | Briefing pack before every client meeting |
| Research & modeling | Market Researcher | Sector or theme → industry overview, competitive landscape, peer comps, ideas shortlist |
| | Earnings Reviewer | Earnings call + filings → model update → note draft |
| | Model Builder | DCF, LBO, 3-statement, comps — live in Excel |
| Fund admin & finance ops | Valuation Reviewer | Ingests GP packages, runs valuation template, stages LP reporting |
| | GL Reconciler | Finds breaks, traces root cause, routes for sign-off |
| | Month-End Closer | Accruals, roll-forwards, variance commentary |
| | Statement Auditor | Audits LP statements before distribution |
| Operations & onboarding | KYC Screener | Parses onboarding docs, runs the rules engine, flags gaps |

For Managed Agent deployment — agent.yaml, leaf-worker subagents, steering-event examples, and per-agent security notes — see managed-agent-cookbooks/.

Getting Started Copy Chapter

Cowork Copy Section

In Cowork, open Settings → Plugins → Add plugin and either:

- Paste this repo URL — https://github.com/anthropics/financial-services — then pick the agents and verticals you want from the marketplace list, or
- Upload a zip — zip any directory under plugins/ (e.g. plugins/agent-plugins/pitch-agent/) and drop it in.

Claude Code Copy Section

Add the marketplace

claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/financial-services
Core skills + connectors (install first)

claude plugin install financial-analysis@claude-for-financial-services
Named agents — pick the ones you want

claude plugin install pitch-agent@claude-for-financial-services
claude plugin install gl-reconciler@claude-for-financial-services
claude plugin install market-researcher@claude-for-financial-services
Vertical skill bundles

claude plugin install investment-banking@claude-for-financial-services
claude plugin install equity-research@claude-for-financial-services

Once installed, agents appear in Cowork dispatch, skills fire automatically when relevant, and slash commands are available in your session (/comps, /dcf, /earnings, /ic-memo, …).

Claude Managed Agents Copy Section

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
scripts/deploy-managed-agent.sh gl-reconciler

Each template under managed-agent-cookbooks/ references the same system prompt and skills as its plugin counterpart. The deploy script resolves file references, uploads skills, creates leaf-worker subagents, and POSTs the orchestrator to /v1/agents. See scripts/orchestrate.py for a reference event loop that routes handoff_request events between agents via your own orchestration layer.

Research Preview: subagent delegation (callable_agents) is a preview capability. See per-agent READMEs for security and handoff guidance.

How It Fits Together Copy Chapter

| | What it is | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Agents | Self-contained plugins that own a workflow end to end — system prompt plus the skills it uses. Cowork and the Managed Agent wrapper both reference the same directory. | plugins/agent-plugins/<slug>/ |
| Skills | Domain expertise, conventions, and step-by-step methods Claude draws on automatically when relevant. Authored once in the verticals; each agent bundles a synced copy of the ones it needs. | plugins/vertical-plugins/<vertical>/skills/ (source) · plugins/agent-plugins/<slug>/skills/ (bundled) |
| Commands | Slash actions you trigger explicitly (/comps, /earnings, /ic-memo). | plugins/vertical-plugins/<vertical>/commands/ |
| Connectors | MCP servers that wire Claude to your data — terminals, research platforms, document stores. | plugins/vertical-plugins/financial-analysis/.mcp.json |
| Managed-agent wrappers | agent.yaml + depth-1 subagents + steering examples for headless deployment. | managed-agent-cookbooks/<slug>/ |

Everything is file-based — markdown and JSON, no build step.

Vertical Plugins Copy Chapter

Start with financial-analysis — it carries the shared modeling skills and all data connectors. Add verticals for the workflows you need.

MCP Integrations Copy Chapter

All connectors are centralized in the financial-analysis core plugin and shared across the rest.

Claude for Microsoft 365 — Install Tooling Copy Chapter

If your firm runs Claude inside Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook via the Microsoft 365 add-in, claude-for-msft-365-install/ is the admin tooling to provision it against your own cloud — Vertex AI, Bedrock, or an internal LLM gateway — instead of Anthropic's API.

It's a Claude Code plugin (not a Cowork plugin) that walks an IT admin through generating the customized add-in manifest, granting Azure admin consent, and writing per-user routing config via Microsoft Graph. Install with:

claude plugin install claude-for-msft-365-install@claude-for-financial-services
/claude-for-msft-365-install:setup

This is separate from the agents and vertical plugins above — it's the on-ramp that gets the add-in deployed in a tenant, after which the agents and skills here are what runs inside it.

Making It Yours Copy Chapter

These are reference templates — they get better when you tune them to how your firm works.

- Swap connectors — point .mcp.json at your data providers and internal systems.
- Add firm context — drop your terminology, processes, and formatting standards into skill files.
- Bring your templates — /ppt-template teaches Claude your branded PowerPoint layouts.
- Adjust agent scope — edit agents/<slug>.md to match how your team actually runs the workflow.
- Add your own — copy the structure for workflows we haven't covered.

Contributing Copy Chapter

Everything here is markdown and YAML. Fork, edit, PR. For new content:

- New skill → add it under plugins/vertical-plugins/<vertical>/skills/, then run python3 scripts/sync-agent-skills.py to propagate to any agent that bundles it.
- New agent → plugins/agent-plugins/<slug>/ (with agents/<slug>.md + skills/) and a matching managed-agent-cookbooks/<slug>/.
- Run python3 scripts/check.py before pushing — it lints every manifest, verifies all cross-file references resolve, and fails if any bundled skill has drifted from its vertical source.
