Earnings Task Setup

Sets up tasks for earnings analysis workflow with:

1. CSV persistence (survives across sessions)
2. Claude task tracking (within-session dependencies)

Arguments

Expects: TICKER QUARTER ACCESSION

Example: AAPL Q1-2024 0000320193-24-000001

If no arguments provided, will prompt for them.

Arguments received: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow Pattern

Wave 1 (parallel):
  ├── {ticker}-{quarter}-news-impact
  └── {ticker}-{quarter}-guidance

Wave 2 (blocked by Wave 1):
  └── {ticker}-{quarter}-prediction

Wave 3 (blocked by Wave 2):
  └── {ticker}-{quarter}-attribution

Instructions

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract ticker, quarter, and accession from: $ARGUMENTS

If arguments are missing or empty, use these defaults for testing:

• Ticker: TEST
• Quarter: Q1-2024
• Accession: test-accession-001

Step 2: Check CSV Tracker

Read earnings-analysis/task-tracker.csv to see current status.

If row doesn't exist for this ticker/quarter/accession, add it:

{ticker},{quarter},{accession},pending,pending,pending,pending,{ISO_TIMESTAMP}

If row exists, check which tasks are still pending.

Step 3: Create Claude Tasks

For each PENDING task (not already completed in CSV), create a Claude task:

Subject: {TICKER}-{QUARTER}-{task_name}
Description: {task_description}
ActiveForm: {active_form}

Task descriptions:

• news-impact: "Analyze news sentiment and events around {TICKER} {QUARTER} earnings. Accession: {ACCESSION}"
• guidance: "Update cumulative guidance inventory for {TICKER} with {QUARTER} data. Accession: {ACCESSION}"
• prediction: "Predict {TICKER} stock direction at T=0 using PIT data. Accession: {ACCESSION}"
• attribution: "Analyze why {TICKER} moved after {QUARTER} earnings (T+1). Accession: {ACCESSION}"

Step 4: Set Up Dependencies

Use TaskUpdate with addBlockedBy:

• prediction blocked by news-impact AND guidance
• attribution blocked by prediction

Step 5: Output Summary

Write to earnings-analysis/test-outputs/earnings-task-setup-{TICKER}-{QUARTER}.txt:

EARNINGS TASK SETUP
==================
Ticker: {TICKER}
Quarter: {QUARTER}
Accession: {ACCESSION}
Timestamp: {ISO_TIMESTAMP}

CSV STATUS (before):
- news_impact: {status}
- guidance: {status}
- prediction: {status}
- attribution: {status}

CLAUDE TASKS CREATED:
- #{id} {TICKER}-{QUARTER}-news-impact [no blockers]
- #{id} {TICKER}-{QUARTER}-guidance [no blockers]
- #{id} {TICKER}-{QUARTER}-prediction [blocked by #{news_id}, #{guidance_id}]
- #{id} {TICKER}-{QUARTER}-attribution [blocked by #{prediction_id}]

NEXT STEPS:
1. Execute unblocked tasks (news-impact, guidance can run parallel)
2. After each task completes, run:
   python -c "from scripts.task_tracker import TaskTracker; TaskTracker().update_status('{TICKER}', '{QUARTER}', '{ACCESSION}', 'TASK_NAME', 'completed')"
3. Mark Claude task as completed with TaskUpdate

PARALLEL TASKS AVAILABLE:
{list tasks with no blockers}

Step 6: Return Summary

Return a brief summary of:

• How many tasks were created
• Which tasks are ready to execute (no blockers)
• Command to check status: python scripts/task_tracker.py status
