finance

A procedure for fetching current prices and recent history for stocks, cryptocurrencies, and currency pairs from Yahoo Finance. It accepts symbols such as TSLA, BTC-USD, and EURUSD=X.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check a stock, crypto asset, or foreign-exchange rate, compare several symbols, or include a selected period of price history.
Why use it?
It removes the need to look up market quotes manually or remember the data-source commands. It is not intended for options, futures, fundamental analysis, or tick-by-tick trading data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

finance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (fetch_quote.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Finance Skill

Fetch real-time financial data for stocks, crypto, and forex using Yahoo Finance (yfinance).

When to Use

USE this skill when:

  • "What's Tesla's stock price?"
  • "Compare AAPL and MSFT"
  • "Show Bitcoin price"
  • "EUR/USD exchange rate"
  • "How is [company] stock doing?"
  • User asks about stock, crypto, or forex prices

When NOT to Use

DON'T use this skill when:

  • Options or futures data → use specialized financial APIs
  • Fundamental analysis (P/E, ratios, financials) → use dedicated analytics tools
  • Real-time tick-by-tick data → use professional trading feeds

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/fetch_quote.py SYMBOL [SYMBOL2 ...]

Options:

  • --format json — output as JSON (default: human-readable text)
  • --history 5d — include price history (1d, 5d, 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y, 5y, max)

Examples

  • "What's Tesla's stock price?" → python {skill_path}/fetch_quote.py TSLA
  • "Compare AAPL and MSFT" → python {skill_path}/fetch_quote.py AAPL MSFT
  • "Show Bitcoin price" → python {skill_path}/fetch_quote.py BTC-USD
  • "EUR/USD exchange rate" → python {skill_path}/fetch_quote.py EURUSD=X

Notes

  • Install dependency: pip install yfinance
  • No API key needed — Yahoo Finance is free
  • Symbols: stocks (e.g., AAPL), crypto (BTC-USD), forex (EURUSD=X)
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
