## What it does

This skill processes earnings call transcripts by ticker to pull financial targets and qualitative remarks. It extracts revenue forecasts and margin projections alongside expected operating expenses. The output maps directly to transcript source pages using the `TICKER_Q#YEAR` format.

Qualitative findings highlight management initiatives and supply bottlenecks. The agent also crafts targeted follow-up questions to probe unclear metrics or hedge language in the transcript.

Without a working Octagon MCP configuration, this skill cannot access transcript data. It can combine outputs with other Octagon tools such as 10-Q filings and consensus estimates to refine financial models.
