What Catalyst Calendar does
Catalyst Calendar is designed for finance professionals and investors who need to track and manage upcoming market catalysts effectively. This skill allows users to define a coverage universe by listing the companies they want to monitor, specifying sectors or industries, and deciding whether to include macroeconomic events such as Federal Reserve meetings or economic data releases. With this structured approach, users can focus on the events that matter most to their investment strategies.
Once the coverage universe is established, the skill guides users through gathering relevant catalysts for each company. This includes earnings dates, corporate events like product launches and regulatory decisions, as well as industry events and macroeconomic indicators. By compiling this information, users can build a comprehensive calendar that highlights important dates and events that could impact their positions in the market.
The calendar view provides a clear and organized way to visualize these events, categorizing them by type and assessing their potential impact. Users can also generate a weekly preview that summarizes key upcoming events, positioning implications, and risk management strategies. This proactive approach helps users stay informed and ready to act based on the latest developments.
Additionally, the skill supports outputting the calendar in an Excel format for easy manipulation and sharing, along with an optional integration with Google Calendar for seamless scheduling. By archiving past catalysts and their outcomes, users can also develop a better understanding of market patterns over time, enhancing their investment decision-making process.

Important Notes
- Earnings dates shift — verify against company IR pages and Bloomberg/FactSet closer to the date
- Pre-announce risk: track companies with a history of pre-announcing (positive or negative)
- Conference attendance lists are valuable — which companies are presenting and which are conspicuously absent?
- Some catalysts are recurring (monthly industry data) — build a template and auto-populate
- Color-code by impact level: Red = high impact, Yellow = moderate, Green = routine
- Archive past catalysts with the actual outcome — builds pattern recognition over time
