Financial Data Collector

Collect and validate real financial data for US public companies using free data sources.
Output is a standardized JSON file ready for consumption by other financial skills.

Critical Constraints

NO FALLBACK values. If a field cannot be retrieved, set it to null with _source: "missing".
Never substitute defaults (e.g., beta or 1.0). The downstream skill decides how to handle missing data.

Data source attribution is mandatory. Every data section must have a _source field.

CapEx sign convention: yfinance returns CapEx as negative (cash outflow). Preserve the original sign. Document the convention in output metadata. Do NOT flip signs.

yfinance FCF ≠ Investment bank FCF. yfinance FCF = Operating CF + CapEx (no SBC deduction). Flag this in output metadata so downstream DCF skills don't overstate FCF.
