LABSCO SUMMARY
Two of the four are financial-analysis tools with no particular connection to the rest of the repository's theme: one calculates standard ratios and metrics from financial-statement data, the other is a fuller modeling suite — DCF analysis, sensitivity testing, Monte Carlo simulation — for investment decisions. A third applies a fixed set of corporate branding rules (colors, fonts, layout, messaging) to generated documents. The fourth, cookbook-audit, is a meta-skill: it audits an Anthropic Cookbook notebook against a rubric, built to review this repository's own content rather than to help someone build with the Claude API.
None of this is in the README. The repository's own documentation describes a table of notebooks covering classification, retrieval-augmented generation, tool use, multimodal input, and similar Claude API patterns — useful reading on its own terms — but says nothing about these four skills, what they are for, or why they sit inside a cookbook otherwise organized as notebooks meant to be read and copied. All four need nothing beyond installing them; none carries an extra account or service dependency.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
Who this is for. Someone doing financial analysis, applying a fixed brand style to generated documents, or auditing this specific cookbook's own notebooks — not someone looking for general Claude API examples. For that, the notebooks under capabilities, tool_use, and multimodal in this same repository are the actual resource, and none of them are skills.

SETUP
Showing all 4 skills
analyzing-financial-statements
Hand it a company's accounts and it works out the standard health checks investors run — is it profitable, can it pay its bills, how much debt is it carrying — and explains what the numbers mean.
applying-brand-guidelines
Every slide deck, spreadsheet and PDF comes out looking like it came from the same company: same colours, same fonts, logo in the same place, same way of writing.
cookbook-audit
A marked report card for one of Anthropic's example notebooks: a score out of twenty, what it does well, what is weak, and the exact lines to change.
creating-financial-models
What is a business actually worth, and how much does that answer move if the assumptions turn out wrong? This builds the spreadsheet that answers both.
No skill in this package matches that.
