Every stock is innocent until Claude finds the cracks
I built a short-seller agent in Claude
“Guys, 2CRSI may be a fraud.”
That message showed up last week in our investor group.
The stock was up almost 10x in a year on AI hype.
Everyone was talking about it on X.
Then the short-seller report came out.
A few days later, the stock was down 50%.
That’s when I asked myself:
Why wait for the short seller?
Why not make Claude run the short-seller check for any stock.
So I built a Claude agent for that.
In one click, claude will:
Check filings and numbers: cash flow, receivables, debt, margins, and related-party red flags.
Compare the management story with what the numbers actually show.
write a short-seller report: what looks strange, what needs proof, and what could break the thesis.
The output is an interactive page you can export into a doc like this one:
You can download the agent, copy it, and run it every time you doubt
How the Claude Short-Seller Check Works
99% of stocks are not frauds…
But you only need to be trapped once to lose a lot of capital.
That’s why I built this Claude Skill like a small investigation team.
You give it one company.
Claude sends 3 detectives into the stock.
Detective 1: People Check
this one answers a simple question
Can you trust the people running the company?
It looks for past scandals, lawsuits, insider selling, strange related-party deals, and signs of self-dealing.
Because fraud usually starts with people.
Detective 2: Numbers Check
The key question:
Are profits showing up in cash?
Or only on paper?
Detective 3: Real World Check
Does the business exist at the size management claims?
Because a company can tell a beautiful story.
But factories, stores, customers, and cash are harder to fake.
At the end, Claude gives you a short-seller report:
What looks strange
What needs proof
What would make the fraud case stronger
What would prove the short thesis wrong
