# Form ADV Part 1A — Filing Data

Pulls Form ADV Part 1A data from Carta and generates **two artifacts**:

- **Interactive HTML filing guide** (Items 5.D/F/H, Schedule D §7.B.(1) per fund, IARD checklist)
- **Excel filing reference** (same data, with a Manual Fields sheet for IARD entry)

The artifacts ARE the deliverable. **Do not render Form ADV data as markdown tables in the chat window.** Chat output is limited to a brief status acknowledgment, applicable caveats, the compliance reminder, and a follow-up question.

---

## When to Use

- "Pull our Form ADV data"
- "What's our regulatory AUM for our annual filing?"
- "Show me Schedule D §7.B.(1) data"
- "What do I need for Form PF Section 1?"
- "Give me the asset class composition of our portfolio"
- "What's our annual subscription and distribution activity?"

---

## Entry

Propose the **most recent completed calendar year-end** as the default reporting date — `(current year − 1)-12-31` based on today's date. State the proposed date and let the user override.

> "I'll pull your Form ADV Part 1A data from Carta and build an interactive filing guide and Excel reference. I'll use **{YYYY}-12-31** as the reporting date — confirm or give me a different date. Items requiring manual IARD entry (auditor info, employee counts, fund IDs) will be flagged in both artifacts."

---

## Workflow — Execute ALL Four Steps

You MUST complete every step on every invocation. Step 3 is not optional — the artifacts are the deliverable, not a supplementary export.

### Step 1 — Resolve context

- **Default `reporting_date` to the most recent completed calendar year-end** — `(current year − 1)-12-31` based on today's date. Surface the proposed date in the Entry message and proceed unless the user gives a different one.
- Accept any natural-language override ("December 2023", "end of 2022", "Dec 31, 2024") and resolve to YYYY-12-31. Do not silently use a hardcoded year.
- If this is the first query, call `list_contexts` then `set_context` to establish the firm context.
- See **Fund Scope Disambiguation** below if the user names a specific fund or fund count.

### Step 2 — Run the queries (silently)

Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/carta-form-adv/references/form-adv-queries.md` for the SQL. Execute Query 1 (AUM, fund detail, capital activity) then Query 2 (investor demographics) via `fetch("dwh:execute:query", {"sql": "..."})`. **Do not echo raw rows or render markdown tables** of the results.

### Step 3 — Generate the artifacts (MANDATORY)

Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/carta-form-adv/references/filing-guide.md` and execute its four sub-steps in order, every time:

1. Build `form_adv_data.json` with the actual query result values (no placeholders).
2. Run `generate_form_adv_artifact.py` → HTML artifact.
3. Run `form_adv_excel_generator.py` → Excel filing reference.
4. Open the HTML in Claude Desktop's preview panel via `preview_start` / `preview_list` / `preview_eval`. If preview is unavailable, surface the file path as a fallback.

If any sub-step fails, see **Error Handling** — do not silently skip.

### Step 4 — Acknowledge in chat (no data tables)

Send a brief plain-text message. Substitute the resolved values:

> Pulled your Form ADV Part 1A data for **{reporting_date}** across **{N} funds**. Two artifacts generated:
>
> - **Interactive filing guide** — open in the preview panel _(or:_ saved to `<resolved-tmpdir>/FormADV_<FirmName>_<Year>.html`)
> - **Excel filing reference** — `<resolved-tmpdir>/FormADV_<FirmName>_<Year>.xlsx`
>
> Blue = Carta-filled. Orange = manual IARD entry. The Manual Fields sheet (Excel) and IARD Checklist tab (HTML) list every field needing manual entry.

After the status, surface only caveats that **apply to this specific filing** (e.g., "NAV for [fund] is not calculated for [date] — those fields show `—`"). Do not enumerate every possible caveat — full caveat list is in the artifact's Legend sheet.

Then close with the Escalation Contract reminder and Response Closing.

## Fund Scope Disambiguation

1. **User names a specific fund, no match found** → use `AskUserQuestion` to present up to 4 candidate fund names. Do not expand scope until the user picks one.
2. **User states a fund count that doesn't match query results** → surface the discrepancy and wait for confirmation: *"I found [N] funds, not [user's count]. Confirm which are in scope before I run the filing."*
3. **No fund named** → include all funds in the firm context.

---

## Error Handling

| Symptom | Likely cause | Tell the user |
|---|---|---|
| Query returns no rows | `reporting_date` precedes any fund data, or firm context not set | "No data found for that date. Confirm the reporting date and firm context, then try again." |
| `set_context` fails | MCP not connected or user lacks access | "I wasn't able to find your firm. Make sure the Carta MCP server is connected." |
| Permission denied (403) | User lacks data warehouse access | "Your account doesn't have data warehouse access for this query. Contact your Carta admin." |
| All NAV fields null for a fund | Monthly NAV calculation hasn't run for that period | "NAV not calculated for [fund] as of [date] — performance and Net AUM will be blank. Ask your fund admin to run the NAV before filing." |
| Fund count mismatch | Excluded entity type (e.g., GP entity) | "I found [N] Fund/SPV entities. If you expected [M], some funds may be a different entity type — check with your Carta admin." |
| HTML artifact script fails | Missing `uv`, malformed JSON, or unwritable output path | "I couldn't generate the interactive filing guide. Try again, or open an issue if it persists. The Excel file may still be available — check the path below." |
| Excel generator fails | Missing `uv`/`openpyxl`, malformed JSON, or unwritable path | "I couldn't generate the Excel filing reference. The HTML guide may still be available. Try again or contact support." |
| Preview panel won't open | `preview_start` unavailable, port conflict, or `launch.json` write failed | "The preview panel didn't open. The HTML file is at the path above — open it in your browser. Use File → Print → Save as PDF for export." |

## Escalation Contract

This skill produces figures used directly in SEC filings. Always surface this reminder when the user indicates they are preparing to file:

> **Filing deadline check:** If any values differ from your fund administrator's records, or you're within 5 business days of your filing deadline, verify with your compliance team before submitting to the SEC. Carta data reflects fund administration records as of the reporting date — discrepancies should be resolved against the fund's audited financial statements.

---

## Voice Guidelines

- Refer to "your Form ADV data" or "your filing guide" — never "query results" or "database output".
- Data gaps: "I wasn't able to retrieve that for [fund name]" — not technical details.
- Proactively explain FMV ≠ NAV and Regulatory AUM ≠ NAV if the user asks about discrepancies.
- Always remind that manual IARD fields must be entered by the user before submitting.
- Apply the Carta watermark per [PATTERN carta-watermark v0.0.10] on all natural-language replies.

---

## Response Closing

End every response with the data-provenance footer, immediately followed by the follow-up question:

*Data as of {reporting_date} · Balance sheet uses effective_date (accounting date) · Verify legal names, fiscal year ends, and IARD fund IDs before filing*

> "Would you like to compare to your prior year's filing, pull additional Form PF fields, or walk through the IARD manual entry checklist?"
