What Openbb Research is

Openbb Research is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Openbb Research gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Openbb Research

What This Command Does

Conducts comprehensive AI-powered investment research by combining multiple OpenBB data sources with advanced analysis.

Workflow

1. Data Aggregation

from openbb import obb

symbol = "AAPL"

# Gather comprehensive data
data = {
    "price": obb.equity.price.historical(symbol=symbol, period="1y"),
    "fundamentals": obb.equity.fundamental.metrics(symbol=symbol),
    "analyst": obb.equity.estimates.analyst(symbol=symbol),
    "news": obb.equity.news(symbol=symbol, limit=10),
    "peers": obb.equity.compare.peers(symbol=symbol),
    "insider": obb.equity.ownership.insider(symbol=symbol)
}

2. Investment Thesis Generation

print(f"\n📋 Investment Thesis for {symbol}")
print(f"{'='*60}")

# Business Analysis
print(f"\n1. Business Quality:")
print(f"   - Competitive moats identified")
print(f"   - Revenue growth trajectory")
print(f"   - Margin trends and sustainability")
print(f"   - Market position and share")

# Financial Health
print(f"\n2. Financial Strength:")
print(f"   - Balance sheet assessment")
print(f"   - Cash flow generation")
print(f"   - Capital allocation efficiency")
print(f"   - Debt levels and coverage")

# Valuation
…

3. Risk Assessment

print(f"\n⚠️  Risk Factors:")

risks = []

# Check technical risks
if data["price"].rsi[-1] > 75:
    risks.append("Overbought conditions - potential pullback risk")

# Check fundamental risks
if data["fundamentals"].debt_to_equity > 1.5:
    risks.append("High leverage - financial risk elevated")

# Check market risks
if data["price"].volatility > 50:
    risks.append("High volatility - price uncertainty")

for i, risk in enumerate(risks, 1):
    print(f"   {i}. {risk}")

4. Opportunity Analysis

print(f"\n💡 Investment Opportunities:")

opportunities = []

if data["analyst"].rating_score > 4.0:
    opportunities.append("Strong analyst support - positive sentiment")

if data["insider"].net_buy_sell > 0:
    opportunities.append("Insider buying - management confidence")

if data["fundamentals"].roe > 20:
    opportunities.append("High ROE - efficient capital use")

for i, opp in enumerate(opportunities, 1):
    print(f"   {i}. {opp}")

5. Actionable Recommendations

print(f"\n🎯 Recommendation:")

# Decision matrix
score = 0
score += 2 if data["analyst"].rating_score > 4.0 else 0
score += 2 if data["fundamentals"].roe > 15 else 0
score += 1 if data["price"].trend == "bullish" else 0
score -= 1 if data["fundamentals"].pe_ratio > 30 else 0

if score >= 4:
    rating = "BUY"
    action = "Consider accumulating position"
elif score >= 2:
    rating = "HOLD"
    action = "Monitor closely, hold current position"
else:
    rating = "AVOID"
    action = "Wait for better entry point"
…

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
