S&P Global Plugin

This plugin brings S&P Global's financial data and analytics directly into your AI workflow via a set of pre-built skills. It is designed for financial professionals who want AI-assisted research, analysis, and document generation grounded in authoritative S&P Global data.

The skills are built on open standards (MCP) and are designed to work across AI platforms and agent frameworks. While the plugin follows the Claude Cowork standard, all skills and the underlying data layer are platform-agnostic. If you want to use these skills in another environment, please do.

We recognize that every organization has unique needs. These skills are a starting point for your finished products. We encourage you to adapt the prompts, outputs, and workflows to fit your firm's specific processes, templates, and data needs.

Skills Contained

Tearsheets

Generates a formatted, one-to-two page company tearsheet as a Word document, populated with live data from S&P Capital IQ. Supports four audience types, each optimized for a different use case:

• Equity Research: Investment thesis snapshot for buy-side/sell-side analysts
• Investment Banking / M&A: Company profile in transaction context
• Corporate Development: Acquisition target profile for internal strategic teams
• Sales / Business Development: Client meeting prep for commercial teams

Example prompt: "Generate a business development tearsheet for Palantir."

Industry Transaction Summaries

Summarizes recent funding activity within a sector or for a specific company, drawing on S&P Capital IQ transaction data. Useful for market mapping, pitch preparation, and competitive intelligence.

Example prompt: "Summarize recent transactions in the data infrastructure space.”

Earnings Previews

Generates a structured earnings preview for an upcoming report, including consensus estimates, recent guidance, analyst sentiment, and key things to watch — all sourced from S&P Capital IQ.

Example prompt: "Give me an earnings preview for Salesforce."

How to Use

The plugin and skills require access to S&P Global data, either through Capital IQ Pro (opens in a new tab) or S&P Global LLM-ready API (opens in a new tab) subscriptions.

The LLM-ready API is easy to integrate in Claude or other applications via its MCP server. Follow these steps to set it up.

We recommend using frontier models such as Claude Opus for all skills to benefit from their state-of-the-art reasoning.

In Cowork

You will need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise) and the Claude Desktop app for macOS or Windows.

1. Open Claude Desktop and navigate to the Cowork tab
2. Click Customize with Plugins
3. In Browse Plugins, select Personal
4. Click the plus sign “+” to add plugin
5. Authenticate with your S&P Global credentials when prompted

Once installed, skills activate automatically when relevant — just describe what you need in natural language. You can also invoke specific skills explicitly by typing "/" in the chat to see available commands.

To customize the plugin for your firm's workflows, templates, or terminology, click Customize while viewing the installed plugin. We encourage this; the defaults are a starting point, not a prescription.

In Claude Desktop (individual skills)

To install individual skills in Claude Desktop without the full plugin:

1. Open Settings
2. Navigate to Capabilities → Skills
3. Click Add
4. Upload the skill file(s) from this repository

Skills are available immediately in your Claude Desktop sessions once uploaded. You can install one or several depending on your needs.

In Claude Code (individual skills)

To install individual skills in Claude code (opens in a new tab), add the S&P Global agent skills repository as your plugin marketplace source.

/plugin marketplace add kensho-technologies/spglobal-agent-skills

Once the marketplace source has been added, install the S&P Global plugin:

/plugin install sp-global@sp-global

The skills will be made available to Claude in your current project.

Other Platforms

The skills in this repository are markdown files. Any AI platform that supports custom instructions, system prompts, or knowledge file uploads can use them — the mechanism varies by platform but the principle is the same: load the skill content so the model has it as persistent context.

ChatGPT: Paste skill content into Custom Instructions (Settings → Customize ChatGPT), upload as a knowledge file within a Project, or add to a Custom GPT's configuration. Custom instructions apply globally across sessions; Project-level files scope context to a specific workflow.

Microsoft Copilot: Paste skill content into a custom prompt or system instruction depending on your Copilot configuration (M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, etc.). Enterprise deployments via Copilot Studio allow uploading knowledge sources directly.

Other platforms: If your platform supports a system prompt or persistent instruction layer, paste the skill markdown there. If it supports file-based knowledge retrieval, upload the skill file. The skills are plain markdown, no special formatting or tooling required.

What Comes Next

We are actively building additional skills and plugins across a range of financial workflows. We'd love to hear what would be most useful to you! For general questions, feedback, or partnership inquiries, contact commercial@kensho.com.
