# FinSight Research Guide

## Overview

FinSight is a deep research agent designed specifically for financial analysis. Developed by RUC-NLPIR, it combines multi-source data retrieval, financial reasoning, and report generation to produce publication-ready financial research. It handles market analysis, company fundamentals, sector comparisons, and macroeconomic assessment through specialized agents.

## Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/RUC-NLPIR/FinSight.git
cd FinSight && pip install -e .
```

## Core Capabilities

### Research Query to Report

```python
from finsight import FinSightAgent

agent = FinSightAgent(llm_provider="anthropic")

# Generate comprehensive financial analysis
report = agent.research(
    "Analyze the competitive landscape of the global EV battery "
    "market. Compare CATL, LG Energy, and Panasonic on market "
    "share, technology, margins, and growth outlook."
)

print(report.summary)
report.save("ev_battery_analysis.pdf")
```

### Agent Architecture

| Agent | Role |
|-------|------|
| **Retrieval Agent** | Fetches data from SEC filings, financial APIs, news |
| **Data Agent** | Processes financial statements, ratios, time series |
| **Analysis Agent** | Performs fundamental, technical, and comparative analysis |
| **Reasoning Agent** | Synthesizes findings, identifies trends and risks |
| **Report Agent** | Generates structured research reports with citations |

### Financial Data Sources

```python
# FinSight integrates with multiple data sources
config = {
    "sec_edgar": True,        # SEC filings (free)
    "fred": True,             # Federal Reserve economic data
    "yahoo_finance": True,    # Market data (free)
    "news_api": True,         # Financial news
    "world_bank": True,       # Macro indicators
}
```

### Analysis Types

```python
# Company fundamental analysis
report = agent.research(
    "Provide a fundamental analysis of NVIDIA including "
    "revenue trends, margin analysis, valuation multiples, "
    "and competitive moat assessment."
)

# Sector analysis
report = agent.research(
    "Compare the top 5 cloud computing companies by revenue "
    "growth, operating margins, and R&D investment intensity."
)

# Macro analysis
report = agent.research(
    "Analyze the impact of rising interest rates on US "
    "commercial real estate valuations since 2022."
)
```

## Report Structure

Generated reports typically include:

1. **Executive Summary** — Key findings in 3-5 bullets
2. **Market Overview** — Industry size, growth, trends
3. **Company Analysis** — Financials, competitive position
4. **Risk Assessment** — Key risks and mitigation
5. **Outlook** — Forward-looking analysis with scenarios
6. **Sources** — Cited data sources and references

## Use Cases

1. **Investment research**: Company and sector deep dives
2. **Due diligence**: Comprehensive target company analysis
3. **Academic research**: Financial economics research support
4. **Market intelligence**: Competitive landscape mapping

Questions

What does the Finsight Research Guide skill do?

Is Finsight Research Guide safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Finsight Research Guide access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

Which assistants does Finsight Research Guide work with?

Its documentation mentions openclaw. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e1ba289846fd), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
