Quick Start Workflow

Step 1: Determine Filing Period

If user did NOT specify a period, use WebSearch to find the latest filing:

WebSearch: "{company_name} latest 10-K 10-Q SEC filing"

IMPORTANT: Always analyze the MOST RECENT filing by date, regardless of type (10-K or 10-Q).

Example decision logic:

• If latest 10-K is 2024-12-31 and latest 10-Q is 2025-09-30 → Use 10-Q (more recent)
• If latest 10-K is 2025-01-15 and latest 10-Q is 2024-09-30 → Use 10-K (more recent)

Inform user: "根据搜索，{TICKER} 最新的财报是 {10-K/10-Q}（截至 {period}），将分析该期财报"

Step 2: Download Filing

python3.11 scripts/download_sec_filings.py --ticker <TICKER> --type <10-K|10-Q|6-K> --limit 1

Output: <project_root>/investment-research/{TICKER}/tmp/sec_filings/cleaned.txt

Step 3: Dynamic Framework Generation

1. Read first 5000 characters of filing
2. Identify company industry
3. Select modules from industry-analysis-modules.md
4. Merge with financial-analysis-framework.md
5. Save to tmp/analysis-framework-YYYY-MM-DD.md

Step 4: Execute Deep Research

Gemini Mode:

python3.11 scripts/gemini_deep_research.py \
  --input <cleaned.txt path> \
  --prompt <analysis framework path> \
  --output-dir <project_root>/investment-research/<TICKER> \
  --ticker <TICKER> \
  --company <Company Name> \
  --phase all

Claude Native Mode:
Follow prompts/claude-deep-research-protocol.md for complete 7-phase execution.

Step 5: Format and Save

Format per markdown-formatter-rules.md, save to investment-research/{TICKER}/
