pp-sec-edgar
Every SEC filing, every XBRL fact, every insider trade — synced into a local SQLite store you can pivot, search, and watch offline. Trigger phrases: `look up an SEC filing`, `check insider trading on`, `compare quarterly financials for`, `watch SEC filings for`, `use sec-edgar`.

What this skill does
SEC EDGAR — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the sec-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: sec-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 Pick this CLI when an agent needs to query SEC filings, XBRL financial facts, insider trading (Form 4), or institutional holdings (13F) across many companies or many periods — anything that benefits from a local SQLite store rather than a per-call API roundtrip. For one-off single-filing reads, the typed endpoint mirrors (filings get, facts get) work without sync. For cross-company pivots, insider clustering, peer-group benchmarks, or live filing watches, the transcendence commands turn what would be ten API calls + a Python loop into one CLI invocation. 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 watchlist items — Across a saved watchlist of CIKs, surface 8-Ks filed in the window grouped by Item code (2.05 restructuring, 5.02 exec change, 4.02 non-reliance). …
