Build custom skills that combine SEC API endpoints into reusable workflows for your team.

Install Published SEC API Skills

SEC API’s published workflow skills live in secapi-ai/secapi-skills. Install them globally for supported local agent tools:
npx skills add secapi-ai/secapi-skills --global
This installs the published SEC API skill collection. It does not create or install a custom local skill; use the format below when your team needs a workflow of its own.

Skill Format

A skill is a Markdown file with frontmatter that describes the workflow:
---
name: my-custom-skill
description: What this skill does and when to use it.
---

# My Custom Skill

## Endpoints Used
- GET /v1/filings?ticker={ticker}&form=10-K
- GET /v1/intelligence/company?ticker={ticker}

## Process
1. Resolve the entity
2. Fetch latest filings
3. Analyze with intelligence bundle

## Example
\`\`\`bash
curl "https://api.secapi.ai/v1/intelligence/company?ticker=AAPL" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SECAPI_API_KEY"
\`\`\`
