What private-credit does

private-credit encodes the expertise and judgment frameworks used in direct lending: from CIM screening through quarterly portfolio monitoring. Built-in skills cover covenant compliance with headroom thresholds, EBITDA add-back treatment, investment committee memo standards, quarterly package workflows, borrower tracking, and credit model construction. Commands generate deal assessments, full IC memos, covenant compliance tables, amendment summaries, and scenario comparisons flagging liquidity risk.

Skills activate automatically when you upload financial data or credit agreements. Commands use slash syntax: /private-credit:cim-screen, /private-credit:ic-memo, /private-credit:quarterly-review, /private-credit:covenant-check, /private-credit:amendment-summary, /private-credit:scenario-analysis. The plugin works standalone with uploaded files, and integrates with PitchBook, Moody's, FactSet, or S&P Global via MCP servers for live data feeds.

Tailored for $50M–$500M middle-market transactions in leveraged finance, ABL, and specialty lending. Customizable to your fund's covenant severity rankings, permitted add-back schedules, IC memo format, watchlist criteria, and variance thresholds.

What it helps with

  • check covenant compliance and calculate headroom against a credit agreement
  • convert GAAP financials to Adjusted EBITDA with justification for each add-back
  • draft an Investment Committee memo with credit analysis and downside case
  • process a quarterly borrower package: update model, reconcile financials against compliance cert, prepare management call questions
  • run base, downside, and stress scenarios and identify covenant breach risk

Example prompts for the agent

  • Check this credit agreement for covenant breaches — what's the headroom this quarter?
  • Write an IC memo for the investment committee, I'll attach the CIM, model, and term sheet
  • Summarize this amendment: which covenants tightened, which loosened, what's new

# Private Credit Plugin

A Claude plugin for analysts and portfolio managers at direct lending funds. Encodes the domain expertise, workflows, and judgment frameworks used in private credit — from CIM screening through quarterly portfolio monitoring.

Built for [Claude Cowork](https://claude.com/product/cowork), also compatible with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code).

> **Disclaimer:** This plugin assists with private credit workflows but does not provide investment, financial, or legal advice. All outputs — including covenant calculations, credit assessments, and investment recommendations — should be reviewed by qualified professionals before use in investment decisions, regulatory filings, or committee presentations.

## Who This Is For

- **Credit analysts** doing quarterly monitoring, model updates, and borrower analysis
- **Portfolio managers** reviewing covenant compliance and credit trajectory
- **Investment professionals** screening deals, writing IC memos, and running scenarios
- **Operations teams** processing amendments and tracking covenant schedules

Works best for middle-market direct lending ($50M–$500M deal size), leveraged finance, ABL, and specialty lending workflows.

- **Add your EBITDA definition** — Modify `ebitda-addback-treatment/SKILL.md` with your standard permitted addbacks and cap structures
- **Match your IC memo format** — Update `credit-memo-standards/SKILL.md` with your firm's section order, required exhibits, and tone preferences
