Claude for Financial Services (repo) — source summary
Anthropic’s reference repository (github.com/anthropics/financial-services) of
agents, skills, and data connectors for financial-services workflows. Delivered via
Telegram and ingested 2026-05-29. README in raw/claude-financial-services.md.
Topic note: this opens a new cluster largely separate from the wiki’s knowledge-management thesis. Its honest ties to the existing graph: it runs on model-context-protocol (as does qmd), and it shares the “file-based markdown + YAML that an LLM reads and acts on” shape with the llm-wiki pattern.
What it is
Reference templates for IB, equity research, private equity, wealth management, and fund admin. The pitch: “two ways from one source” — install as a claude-cowork plugin, or deploy through claude-managed-agents behind your own workflow engine, sharing the same system prompt and skills. Everything is file-based markdown + YAML, no build step.
Structure
- Agents — 11 self-contained, named end-to-end workflow agents (Pitch Agent, Market Researcher, Earnings Reviewer, Model Builder, GL Reconciler, Month-End Closer, KYC Screener, …). Each bundles the skills it uses.
- Vertical plugins — skill + command bundles by FSI vertical, with
financial-analysisas the core (modeling skills + all data connectors). Slash commands like/comps,/dcf,/lbo,/earnings,/ic-memo. - Partner plugins — LSEG and S&P Global.
- MCP connectors — 10+ providers (Daloopa, Morningstar, FactSet, Moody’s, LSEG, PitchBook, …), centralized in the core plugin. See model-context-protocol.
- Managed-agent cookbooks —
agent.yaml+ depth-1 subagents + steering examples for headless deployment via/v1/agents. See claude-managed-agents.
Notable design points
- agent-skills: skills are authored once in the verticals and a synced copy is
bundled into each agent (
sync-agent-skills.py);check.pylints manifests and verifies all cross-file references resolve and that no bundled skill has drifted from source — an explicit maintenance/consistency discipline (cf. the llm-wiki lint pass). - Strong human-in-the-loop framing: outputs are “staged for human sign-off”; the agents draft work product, they don’t execute transactions or make recommendations.
- Subagent delegation (
callable_agents) is flagged as a Research Preview.
