# The Research Desk — SEC Agents Workshop

This is a hands-on workshop demonstrating Claude Managed Agents through building an equity research system. Here's what you need to know:

## Core Concept

The project creates a self-hosted research desk that analyzes SEC filings. As described, it implements "the fan-out/fan-in shape of long-running agent systems — many sessions, one durable body of knowledge."

## Key Components

- **Web console** (Next.js + TypeScript) for chat, progress tracking, and memory browsing
- **Orchestrator** that coordinates multiple analyst sessions across tickers
- **Custom Skills** teaching agents the edgartools API
- **Memory stores** that persist findings across sessions
- **Outcome evaluation** using defined rubrics

## Getting Started

Requirements include Node.js 22+ and an Anthropic API key with Managed Agents access. After installation, users provision the desk once, then can either analyze individual stocks or chat with the head of research about multiple companies.

## Production Use

The system supports Docker deployment for standing weekly reports. Importantly, it's "intentionally not aimed at serverless hosting" since the orchestrator requires persistent processes.

## Security Model

Credentials stay server-side; the browser never handles API keys. The `EDGAR_IDENTITY` contact string (required by the SEC for automated requests) gets embedded in agent instructions during provisioning.

The complete guided walkthrough exists in WORKSHOP.md with numbered TODO stubs and solution files provided.

### Summary

**Research Desk — SEC Agents Workshop** is a hands-on workshop demonstrating Claude Managed Agents by building an equity research system.

**Key highlights:**
- Analyzes SEC filings using a self-hosted research desk
- Implements a "fan-out/fan-in" architecture for long-running agent systems with many sessions feeding into one knowledge base
- **Web console** (Next.js + TypeScript) for chat, progress tracking, and memory browsing
- **Orchestrator** coordinating multiple analyst sessions across different stock tickers
- **Custom Skills** teaching agents the edgartools API
- **Memory stores** persisting findings across sessions
- **Outcome evaluation** with rubrics

**Requirements:** Node.js 22+ and an Anthropic API key with Managed Agents access

**Deployment:** Supports Docker for standing weekly reports; intentionally not serverless since the orchestrator needs persistent processes

**Security:** API keys stay server-side in the browser; the SEC contact string (EDGAR_IDENTITY) gets embedded in agent instructions

**Documentation:** Complete walkthrough with numbered TODO stubs and solution files is in WORKSHOP.md

The second URL (the directory listing) returned a 404, so the raw README file at the first URL is the correct endpoint.
