event-driven-analyzer — Codex skill: what it does, how to install
This skill evaluates dated public-equity events through scenarios, timing, probabilities, payoffs, and expected returns. Use it for special situations.
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill event-driven-analyzer -a codexWhat event-driven-analyzer does
The skill turns a public-company event into an underwriting path: conditions, timing, scenarios, terminal payoffs, probabilities, expected return, trade expression, and monitoring. It covers mergers, spins, activism, regulatory or litigation events, tenders, index changes, rights offerings, de-SPACs, and other dated equity situations.
Its workflow calls for evidence from market data, company filings and investor materials, event transcripts, and internal research. It separates facts, assumptions, and judgments, builds a timeline, and checks that scenario probabilities total 100%. Without timestamped prices and execution inputs, it produces an underwriting framework or entry screen rather than a Buy, Own, or Initiate headline.
What it helps with
- map a public-equity event path
- build a probability tree for possible outcomes
- calculate payoffs and expected returns
- separate known dates from estimated windows
- define monitoring signals and gating items
Example prompts for the agent
- Analyze this dated public-equity event with conditions, timing, scenarios, and terminal payoffs.
- Build a probability tree for the event and calculate expected return for each outcome.
- Create a monitoring plan with the next catalyst, key dates, and signals that would change the thesis.
