pp-edgar
An agent-native CLI for SEC EDGAR — six sanctioned endpoints, SQLite-cached filings with FTS5, and LODESTAR-shaped... Trigger phrases: `primary sources for <ticker>`, `insider summary <ticker>`, `recheck delta for <ticker>`, `eightk items <ticker>`, `xbrl pivot`, `use edgar-pp-cli`, `run edgar`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI with executable commands for fetching and analyzing SEC filings that aren't available in public documentation.
What it needs
Requires edgar-pp-cli installed locally. About 8k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
SEC EDGAR — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the edgar-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: edgar-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Use edgar-pp-cli when an agent needs structured SEC filing data shaped for token-efficient consumption — primary-source bundles, insider-summary with S/F discrimination, cross-quarter MD&A diffs, or local FTS5 over cached filings. The compound primary-sources command is the LODESTAR shape: one call returns the full evidence pack for a Gate 1/2/3 thesis. Do not use this CLI for Federal Register searches, regulations.gov dockets, activist short reports, or NASDAQ short interest — those are out of scope and handled elsewhere. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Local state that compounds since — Return only the filings filed since a given timestamp, using a per-CIK local cursor — the entire LODESTAR /$recheck loop in one call. …
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
