Template Skill (shared)

This is the single source of truth for the visual chrome of every HTML report produced by the parent skills earnings-brief, peer-analysis, issuer-brief, and sector-brief. It owns:

Design tokens (--navy, --accent, --gray-* / --g*, --text, --positive, --negative, --neutral).
The CSS reset.
Body and page base styling. The canonical defaults are body { font-size: 13px } and .page { max-width: 900px }; ECS / SA inherit them as-is, PA overrides max-width to 1050px, and PIB overrides both (font-size: 12.5px, max-width: 920px).
Both cover variants (cover-simple for PIB / SA; cover-multi for ECS / PA).
TOC styling (.toc-page, .toc-heading, .toc-list, .toc-num, .toc-label, .toc-dots).
Section styling (.section, .section-heading, .section-content and its descendants).
The canonical pastel .outlook-badge (stable / positive / negative / review / na).
Anchor base styling.
Footer styling (.report-footer, .footer-logo).
Print rules.
The HTML scaffolds for the document head, both covers, the TOC block, the section block, the sources-section wrapper, the footer, and the outlook-badge.

The canonical CSS and the literal HTML markup contracts live in assets/template.html. This SKILL.md describes the rules; the asset file ships the verbatim implementation. Parent skills must read both files before emitting.

When to read this skill

Read this skill from a parent skill before emitting any HTML report. Parent skills must contain a directive near the top of their SKILL.md instructing the agent to read both this file and assets/template.html. The pairing is identical to the skills/shared/citations/ contract — every HTML report touches both shared skills.

Lookup-order rule (non-negotiable)

Whenever the agent is about to author CSS, an HTML scaffold, a class name, a design token, or any visual chrome that the parent skill does not itself define, it must consult this shared template skill first and only fall back to inventing markup if the shared layer also does not cover the need. Do not silently restyle anything the shared skill owns; do not invent CSS or HTML scaffolding for elements the shared skill already provides.

Output contract (single global rules)

Every emitted HTML report inlines the contents of <style id="shared-template-css"> from assets/template.html between the /* BEGIN shared-template-css ... */ and /* END shared-template-css */ CSS-comment markers in the parent template's <style> block. Parent templates ship only the marker comments; they never duplicate the rules.
Every emitted HTML report uses the literal markup from the matching <template> snippet for the document head, cover (one of cover-simple / cover-multi), TOC, section block, sources-section wrapper, and footer. Class names and attribute order are invariant.
Each parent skill picks exactly one cover variant. Variants do not mix within a single report.
Per-skill CSS overrides (see "Per-skill overrides" below) live above the marker region in the parent template's <style> block — never inside it, and never as duplicated copies of shared rules.

1. Document head (snippet `document-head`)

The shared document-head snippet is the literal contract for the top of the parent template: <!DOCTYPE html>, the <html> / <head> / <meta> / <title> boilerplate, and the <style> block that contains:

Skill-specific overrides (see below).
The /* BEGIN shared-template-css ... */ marker region.
The /* BEGIN shared-citations-css ... */ marker region.

Then <body> opens with <div class="page">, which wraps the cover, TOC, report body, and footer. Substitute {report_title}.

2. Cover (snippets `cover-simple` and `cover-multi`)

Two variants. Each parent skill uses exactly one:

| variant | used by | shape | |---------------|------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | cover-simple| issuer-brief, sector-brief | 1-column navy cover, top "logo + title" / bottom .cover-meta. | | cover-multi | earnings-brief, peer-analysis | 2-region grid: .cover-top with navy .cover-left + optional .cover-strip image + .cover-bar-top; .cover-bottom is an optional landscape band. |

Cover-multi rules:

Add the has-cover-image class to .cover-top and/or .cover-bottom only when an <img> is populated in .cover-strip / .cover-landscape. Without the class, the strip and bar are hidden by the canonical CSS.
.cover-companies lists per-skill chips. PA marks the target entity with class="company-chip target"; ECS lists the issuer first.
The .cover-companies-label text is per-skill (e.g. PEERS, COMPANIES).
Cover-image content (the <img> URLs) is per-skill data; the wrapper classes are shared.

Cover-simple rules:

One .cover-meta row at the bottom; populate as many <span><strong>Label:</strong> value</span> pairs as the parent skill needs. PIB always emits Type: Public Information Book.

3. Table of contents (snippet `toc-block`)

The TOC scaffold is identical across all four skills. Each parent fills the <ul class="toc-list"> with one <li> per section it emits, in document order, using the .toc-num / .toc-label / .toc-dots pattern. The trailing TOC entry always points to the Citations block (#{prefix}-sources-anchor, label Citations).

4. Section block (snippet `section-block`)

Every titled section in the report body uses the <div class="section" id="{prefix}-section-{slug}">

<div class="section-heading"> + <div class="section-content"> shape. The body of .section-content is skill-specific (paragraphs, tables, lists, charts).

The <div id="{prefix}-cite-{slot}"></div> placeholder inside .section-content is opt-in and only relevant to skills that consume the per-section citation recap from skills/shared/citations/. Skills that do not opt in omit the placeholder.

5. Sources-section wrapper (snippet `sources-section-block`)

This is the same wrapper that skills/shared/citations/ defines as <template id="sources-section">, re-shipped here so the document scaffold stays self-contained. The wrapper anchors the TOC link target via id="{prefix}-sources-anchor" and contains #{prefix}-sources for the rows. The rows themselves (.source-item) are owned by skills/shared/citations/, not by this skill.

6. Report footer (snippet `report-footer`)

The footer is identical across all four skills: navy .report-footer band with the Moody's Agentic Solutions logo on the left and the report date on the right. Substitute {YYYY-MM-DD}.

7. Outlook badge (snippet `outlook-badge`)

The canonical visual treatment is pastel background + colored text. Five variants ship in the canonical CSS:

| class | when to use | |----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | stable | issuer-level outlook is STA/Stable. | | positive| outlook is POS/Positive. | | negative| outlook is NEG/Negative. | | review | outlook is RUR/On Review (also catches "Watch" semantics). | | na | outlook unknown / not applicable; renders muted gray. |

The label text is uppercased by CSS so the inner text can be mixed-case (e.g. Stable).

PIB previously shipped a solid-fill variant (background: var(--positive); color: #fff) for its outlook badges. That carve-out is removed — PIB now inherits the canonical pastel variant from this shared skill, and parent templates must not re-define .outlook-badge rules.

8. Per-skill overrides

These rules are intentionally NOT in the canonical CSS. Each parent template keeps them above the marker region (and only those — anything else inside the canonical block is shared):

| skill | allowed local overrides | |-----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | earnings-brief | none. Cover variant: cover-multi. | | peer-analysis | .page { max-width: 1050px }. Cover variant: cover-multi. | | issuer-brief | body { font-size: 12.5px }, .page { max-width: 920px }. Cover variant: cover-simple. | | sector-brief | none. Cover variant: cover-simple. |

Skill-specific CSS that the shared layer does not own (and which therefore stays in each parent template indefinitely):

All table classes (.yoy-table, .ratings-table, .pa-table, .credit-drivers-table, .ki-table, .sc-table, .fin-table, .data-table, .row-label, etc.).
ECS .credit-badge, .ratings-factors.
ECS / PA cover-image accent classes that are only meaningful inside cover-multi and that use skill-specific spacing (most are already shared; anything with skill-specific tweaks stays local).
PA .sub-heading, .chart-container, .chart-title, .chart-legend.
PIB chart helpers, ratings-grid helpers.
SA sector-card / theme-card helpers.

9. Canonical CSS

The canonical CSS lives only in assets/template.html inside the <style id="shared-template-css">…</style> block. Parent templates do not carry a duplicate copy of these rules. Each parent template instead reserves a marker region inside its own <style> tag bracketed by CSS comments (not HTML comments — the markers sit inside <style>, where  would produce CSS parse errors):

/* BEGIN shared-template-css (inlined at emit time from skills/shared/template/assets/template.html) */
/* END shared-template-css */

At emit time, the agent copies the contents (not the <style> wrapper) of <style id="shared-template-css">…</style> from the shared asset and inserts them between those two marker comments in the final emitted HTML. Treat the canonical CSS as a single block — do not edit values per-skill. If a parent skill needs to restyle shared chrome, change assets/template.html and the next emit picks it up automatically.

CSS variable contract

The block defines the following CSS custom properties on :root. They are available to every piece of skill-specific CSS that lives above the marker region:

--navy, --accent — primary palette.
--gray-100, --gray-200, --gray-300, --gray-400, --gray-700 — neutral grays.
--g100, --g200, --g300, --g400, --g700 — short aliases for the same grays. Both naming schemes resolve. Skill-specific CSS may use either family interchangeably.
--text — body text color.
--positive, --negative, --neutral — semantic colors used by .outlook-badge and by skill-specific tables (e.g. positive / negative deltas).
