This is a top-of-funnel scan with an automatic quick-analysis chain. Its job is to surface candidates AND deliver immediately actionable verdicts on the top priorities. Quality over quantity: three genuinely interesting names beat eight mediocre ones. --- ## Scan Scope **Markets covered:** - United States: NYSE and NASDAQ, with priority on S&P 500 / S&P 400 Mid Cap constituents - Australia: ASX 200 and ASX 300 constituents **Out of scope for this scan** (use stock-investment-analysis for deeper work): - Stocks under $500M USD / $500M AUD market cap - OTC / pink sheet stocks - Recent IPOs ( "⚠️ [Ticker]: Quick Scan deferred. Recommend stock-orchestrator due to [reason]." --- ### 5c. Word Report Build the report using python-docx (do NOT use the docx skill: write the Python script directly). Save to the user's workspace folder. - **Filename:** `Alpha-Scanner-[YYYY-MM-DD].docx` - **Save to:** user's workspace folder (`Stock Strategy/` or equivalent) **Report structure:** | Section | Contents | |---|---| | Cover page | Alpha Scanner \| Date \| Markets: US + AU | | Section 1: Market Context | Weekly macro summary, key index levels (S&P 500, ASX 200, AUD/USD, US 10Y, AU 10Y) | | Section 2: US 52-Week Low Candidates | Scored candidate table; per-candidate brief: business description, why at a low, quality metrics, value trap verdict, accumulation signals | | Section 3: AU 52-Week Low Candidates | Same structure as Section 2 | | Section 4: Sector Opportunities | Lens A: Rotation plays (US + AU): Lens B: AU structural; Lens C: Macro tailwind | | Section 5: Priority Action List | Recommended next steps per candidate with urgency | | Section 6: Auto-Analysis Chain | Full Quick Scan output for each candidate analysed: metrics table, mispricing score, verdicts, rationale | | Appendix | Data sources with access dates | **Styling conventions:** - Navy section bars (hex `1F4477`) with white bold text for section headers - Alternating row shading in all tables (light grey / white) - Blue header rows in tables (hex `2E75B6`) - Arial font throughout, 10pt body, 11pt section headings - Cover page centred with large title, gold divider line --- ## Principles **This is a screen with an automatic first-pass analysis.** The Quick Scan gives you a mispricing score and verdict immediately, no separate prompt required. For full conviction and position sizing, run stock-investment-analysis (Standard mode) or stock-orchestrator as the next step. **Quality of reasoning > length of list.** If the market genuinely doesn't offer strong near-52-week-low opportunities this week, say so and explain why. Honesty about thin weeks is more valuable than padding the list. **The value trap test is not optional.** Stocks at 52-week lows are often there for good reasons. The entire value-add of this scan is the work of distinguishing dislocation from deterioration. **Both markets must be covered.** US and AU are equally important. Don't let one crowd out the other. **Source everything.** Every price, ratio, and sector observation needs a source and access date in the appendix. --- ## Chaining The Quick Scan is automatic for top candidates. For further work after the scan: | Candidate type | Auto-chained | Next manual step | |---|---|---| | Quality stock at a low (score ≥ 6) | ✅ Quick Scan runs automatically | `stock-investment-analysis` Standard: full DCF + IV range | | Borderline value trap / CEO uncertainty | ❌ Deferred | `stock-orchestrator`: multi-lens including management quality | | Heavily macro-dependent sector play | ❌ Not applicable | `macro-risk-agent`: stress-test the thesis | | Candidate already in portfolio | ❌ Not applicable | `portfolio-review`: check thesis health first | | Upcoming earnings within 4 weeks | ❌ Deferred | `earnings-analysis`: wait for results, then act | **Commit workflow:** After reviewing Quick Scan results, if the user says "commit [TICKER]", extract the relevant data and run `commit_analysis.py` to write the analysis output directly to the Excel FUNDAMENTALS sheet. No manual handling required. --- ## Scheduled Task Note When invoked as a scheduled task each Monday morning: - No user input will be present: run Full Scan autonomously - Proceed directly to Step 0 without waiting - Run the auto-analysis chain on top candidates automatically - If any data source fails or is unavailable, note the gap inline and continue: a partial scan is better than no output - Save the report to the workspace folder with the standard filename format ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [yeshelloAB](https://github.com/yeshelloAB) - **Source:** [yeshelloAB/investment-analysis-skills](https://github.com/yeshelloAB/investment-analysis-skills) - **License:** Apache-2.0 Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** yes - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-yeshelloab-investment-analysis-skills-alpha-scanner - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/yeshelloab - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
