# Sector Overview

Sector Overview frames the med sector by taxonomy, catalysts, and recent trends before a deeper company analysis. Use it to map biotech, pharma, devices, and related FDA-driven context.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/agentii-ai/agentii-investment-intelligence/tree/main/plugins/vertical-plugins/bio-pharm/skills/agentii/sector-overview ~/.claude/skills/sector-overview
```

## README

> Methodology inspired by publicly taught sector-framing approaches; all text is an original paraphrase.

## Defaults

| Parameter | Default Value | Rationale |
|-----------|---------------|-----------|
| taxonomy_level | industry (4 med industries) | Med sector frames at industry granularity |
| include_catalysts | true | FDA decisions are the defining med-sector driver |
| lookback_quarters | 4 | Standard trend window |

## Preflight

Run canonical pre-flight per `contracts/preflight.md`. Propagate X-Agentii-Trace per `contracts/x-agentii-trace-header.md`.

## Triggers

- "Give me an overview of the biotech sector."
- "How is the pharma industry structured?"
- "What are the main med sector trends right now?"
- "Which med sub-sectors are most catalyst-rich this quarter?"
- "Map the medical-devices landscape for me."
- "What's the regulatory backdrop for healthcare this year?"
- "How do med.medicines_biotech names differ from med.medical_devices?"
- "Summarize the FDA approval environment for the sector."
- "What are the structural drivers of biotech valuations?"
- "Which committees are most active in AdCom reviews lately?"

## Production Grounding

- Med industry taxonomy (spec 049): `med.medicines_biotech`, `med.medical_devices`, `med.healthcare_services`, `med.life_sciences_tools`; services/tools are out of scope for the bio-pharm vertical (servable by generic skills).
- FDA decisions (approve/CRL/AdCom) are the strongest sector catalysts; sector framing must include the catalyst calendar (`search_adcom_meetings`).
- Grounding frameworks: `references/knowledge-frameworks.md` (道/法 layered review knowledge).

## Data Source Priority

1. `search_companies` / `list_coverage` — sector membership and data freshness.
2. `search_adcom_meetings` — catalyst calendar by committee/date.
3. Knowledge layer: `search_investment_strategies(sectors=med)` + `search_investment_cases(sectors=med)` for sector-level plays.
4. `search_unified` / `search_documents` — filings/news context.

## Methodology

### Retrieval Scope
unstructured_document_search

### Retrieval Strategy
1. Resolve sector scope via `search_companies` + taxonomy; count names per industry via `list_coverage`.
2. Pull catalyst density: `search_adcom_meetings` for the window.
3. Ground with med strategies/cases via the knowledge tools (sectors=med).
4. Synthesize trends with cited evidence.

### Temporal Scope
See frontmatter temporal_scope block.

### Tool Allowlist
See frontmatter allowed_tools.

### Protocol
1. Taxonomy framing
2. Catalyst mapping
3. Knowledge grounding
4. Trend synthesis

## Modes

- **Full sector** (default): all four med industries with catalyst overlay.
- **Single industry**: deep-dive one industry (e.g., medicines_biotech).
- **Catalyst-focused**: sector view organized around upcoming FDA events.

## Tool Fallbacks

| Failure | Fallback |
|---------|----------|
| search_companies empty | Use `search_unified` keyword search; annotate coverage_gap |
| search_adcom_meetings empty | Degrade to `search_documents` keyword "AdCom"; flag |
| Knowledge tools empty | Proceed with structured data only; annotate knowledge coverage_gap |

## Output File

`_sector/{YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM}_med-sector-overview_{affix}.md`

## Output Structure

1. **Executive Summary** — sector stance in 2-3 sentences
2. **Taxonomy Map** — industries + representative names + coverage stats
3. **Catalyst Calendar** — dated FDA/earnings events shaping the sector
4. **Trends & Structural Drivers** — with evidence
5. **Knowledge Grounding** — med strategies/cases with /v/ citations
6. **Coverage Gaps** — data limitations and degraded flags

## Error Handling

| Error | Fallback |
|-------|----------|
| No taxonomy matches | Broaden via `search_companies` name search; flag degraded |
| Empty catalyst calendar | Note sector catalysts may be sparse; rely on knowledge layer |
