  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by anthropics on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Catalyst Calendar AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/anthropics/financial-services/tree/main/plugins/vertical-plugins/equity-research/skills/catalyst-calendar
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anthropics/financial-services.git /tmp/financial-services
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/financial-services/plugins/vertical-plugins/equity-research/skills/catalyst-calendar .claude/skills/catalyst-calendar
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Catalyst Calendar in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Catalyst Calendar on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Catalyst Calendar is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Workflow

Step 1: Define Coverage Universe

  • List of companies to track (tickers or names)
  • Sector / industry focus
  • Include macro events? (Fed meetings, economic data, regulatory deadlines)
  • Time horizon (next 2 weeks, month, quarter)

Step 2: Gather Catalysts

For each company, identify upcoming events:

Earnings & Financial Events

  • Quarterly earnings date and time (pre/post market)
  • Annual shareholder meeting
  • Investor day / analyst day
  • Capital markets day
  • Debt maturity / refinancing dates

Corporate Events

  • Product launches or announcements
  • FDA approvals / regulatory decisions
  • Contract renewals or expirations
  • M&A milestones (close dates, regulatory approvals)
  • Management transitions
  • Insider trading windows (lockup expirations)

Industry Events

  • Major conferences (dates, which companies presenting)
  • Trade shows and expos
  • Regulatory comment periods or rulings
  • Industry data releases (monthly sales, traffic, etc.)

Macro Events

  • Fed meetings (FOMC dates)
  • Jobs report, CPI, GDP releases
  • Central bank decisions (ECB, BOJ, etc.)
  • Geopolitical events with market impact

Step 3: Calendar View

DateEventCompany/SectorTypeImpact (H/M/L)Our PositioningNotes
Earnings/Corp/Industry/MacroLong/Short/Neutral

Step 4: Weekly Preview

Each week, generate a forward-looking summary:

This Week's Key Events:

  1. [Day]: [Company] Q[X] earnings — consensus [$X EPS], our estimate [$X], key focus: [metric]
  2. [Day]: [Event] — why it matters for [stocks]
  3. [Day]: [Macro release] — expectations and positioning

Next Week Preview:

  • Early heads-up on important events coming

Position Implications:

  • Events that could move specific positions
  • Any pre-positioning recommended
  • Risk management ahead of binary events

Step 5: Output

  • Excel workbook with calendar view and sortable columns
  • Weekly preview email/note (markdown)
  • Optional: integration with Google Calendar

Important Notes

  • Earnings dates shift — verify against company IR pages and Bloomberg/FactSet closer to the date
  • Pre-announce risk: track companies with a history of pre-announcing (positive or negative)
  • Conference attendance lists are valuable — which companies are presenting and which are conspicuously absent?
  • Some catalysts are recurring (monthly industry data) — build a template and auto-populate
  • Color-code by impact level: Red = high impact, Yellow = moderate, Green = routine
  • Archive past catalysts with the actual outcome — builds pattern recognition over time

Frequently asked questions

What does the Catalyst Calendar AI skill do?

Build and maintain a calendar of upcoming catalysts across a coverage universe — earnings dates, conferences, product launches, regulatory decisions, and macro events. Helps prioritize attention and position ahead of events. Triggers on "catalyst calendar", "upcoming events", "what's coming up", "earnings calendar", "event calendar", or "catalyst tracker".

Why use Catalyst Calendar on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Catalyst Calendar is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Catalyst Calendar in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/anthropics/financial-services/tree/main/plugins/vertical-plugins/equity-research/skills/catalyst-calendar. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Catalyst Calendar?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Catalyst Calendar?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Catalyst Calendar with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Catalyst Calendar AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by anthropics under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
