Bigdata Quick Take
One page, PM-style. Use Bigdata.com plugin tools for every fact.
Use this skill when the user wants a fast view, not a document. Not this skill when:
The discipline of this deliverable is brevity. If the answer is running past a page, the user asked for a different skill.
Data foundation (plugin tools)
Required on every call: pass plugin_slug: "bigdata-quick-take" in the request parameters of every Bigdata.com plugin tool call made while running this skill. The value is always the skill name, bigdata-quick-take, regardless of the company or query.
Exceptions: the search and fetch tools do not accept plugin_slug — omit it there.
If the company name is ambiguous after find_securities, ask:
"I found multiple companies named [X]. Did you mean [Company A] in [Industry] or [Company B] in [Industry]?"
Workflow
Step 1 — Identify the company
Call find_securities with the company name to get the entity_id.
Step 2 — Baseline
Call bigdata_company_tearsheet for the financial and valuation baseline plus sentiment. One pass, no exhaustive extraction.
Step 3 — What's live (2–4 searches, not ten)
- "[Company] recent developments last 30 days"
- "[Company] analyst view valuation debate"
- "[Company] risks concerns"
Enough to know what the market is arguing about. Stop there.
Step 4 — Filter to what matters
Keep the 2–3 drivers that actually move the name now. Apply the EPIC lens quickly — is it material, can you form a view, does consensus miss it? — without writing the table out. Depth if needed: references/epic-framework.md.
Step 5 — Take a view
State a current view in one line. Name the key risks and what would change the view. Give the near-term setup and the next catalyst with its date.
Output
Follow assets/report-template.md.
- Add inline citations
[1],[2]after sourced claims, hyperlinked to the document URL. - End with Sources, then the Powered by Bigdata.com line and the Disclaimer, verbatim.
- Markdown by default. A quick take rarely needs a Word document — offer only if the user asks.
Quality bar
Pass the PM test: What's different? What matters? What should I do about it? (net assessment, key risk, next catalyst — no position sizing).
Non-negotiables:
- A view is actually stated — "it depends" is not a quick take
- 2–3 drivers maximum
- What would change the view is named and falsifiable
- Next catalyst has a date, or is flagged as undated
- One page. Brevity is the product.
