# Longbridge Research

Institutional data, sell-side research, and investment research frameworks via Longbridge.

> **Response language**: match the user's input language — English / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese.
> **RULE: Response language priority**: English is the default when language is ambiguous. If the user input is only a slash command, command name, ticker / symbol, or contains no natural-language language signal, you MUST respond in English. Do not infer Chinese from trigger keywords, skill metadata, or examples.

> **Data and access boundary**: Prefer verified primary filings for material claims and cite each actual source, timestamp, reporting period, currency and delay. Provider preference never overrides user instructions or prevents independent verification. Discover installed CLI/MCP capabilities; no connector, subscription or entitlement is guaranteed. Public research needs no account access; account holdings/watchlists require explicit user scope and the minimum read permission. Do not request trading permission, log secrets, execute trades, financing, subscriptions or transfers. This bundle supplies analysis templates, not personalized recommendations.

## When to Use
Trigger when user asks about: analyst ratings / price targets, EPS/revenue consensus, finance events calendar, institutional shareholders, fund holders, insider trading (Form 4), short selling data, industry rankings, peer group trees, investment idea generation, investment proposals, initiating coverage reports, competitive analysis, financial planning, DeFi yield analysis, or on-chain data.

## Auth requirements

Public market-data commands may be unauthenticated; availability depends on provider entitlements. Financial planning and holdings/watchlist personalization are account-sensitive and optional.

## Error handling

| Situation | Response |
|---|---|
| `command not found: longbridge` | Install longbridge-terminal |
| No insider data | Only available for US-listed stocks (SEC Form 4) |
| DeFi/on-chain data missing | Use WebSearch (DefiLlama, CoinGecko, Glassnode) as supplement |

## MCP fallback

Use MCP server if CLI unavailable. Discover tools at runtime.
