What is macro-briefing?

A tool that collects financial market prices and historical OHLCV data—open, high, low, close, and volume—for currencies, indices, commodities, energy, and crypto. It stores the data in SQLite and can report snapshots or currency-strength rankings.

Use it to fetch price snapshots, backfill historical market data, query OHLCV bars, rank currency strength, and inspect database statistics.

It provides a repeatable local source for market data instead of collecting individual prices manually. Stored history makes it easier to query recent bars and compare instruments.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00048	$0.01056
Opus 5.5	$0.00019	$0.00422
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00211

Security

Grade A, and why

macro-briefing 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 2mo ago.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Macro Briefing

Quick Start

Collect + brief (one-liner)

SKILL_DIR="$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")/.."  # resolve from scripts/
python3 scripts/collect.py && python3 scripts/briefing.py --format telegram

Collect only (stores to DB)

python3 scripts/collect.py --db data/macro.db

Generate briefing from latest DB snapshot

python3 scripts/briefing.py --format telegram --session europe

Scripts

`scripts/collect.py` — Data Collector

Fetches all market data via yfinance + economic calendar via FairEconomy API. Stores in SQLite (data/macro.db by default). No API keys required.

Flags:

--db PATH — custom DB path (default: data/macro.db)
--no-db — skip DB storage, just collect
--json — output raw JSON to stdout

Dependency: pip3 install yfinance (pandas, curl_cffi auto-installed)

`scripts/briefing.py` — Briefing Formatter

Reads latest snapshot from DB (or JSON stdin) and formats for delivery.

Flags:

--format telegram|plain|json — output format
--session asia|europe|us — filter calendar events by session window
--db PATH — custom DB path
--stdin — read JSON from stdin instead of DB
--json-input PATH — read from JSON file

Formats:

telegram — Markdown with emoji, ready for Telegram message
plain — stripped plain text
json — structured JSON for programmatic use by other skills

`scripts/query.py` — Database Query API

Historical queries for analysis, backtesting, and other skills.

Commands:

ticker DXY --days 30 [--csv] — single ticker history
yields --days 60 [--csv] — yield curve history
spread 10y3m --days 180 — spread history
snapshot [--date 2026-03-01] — full snapshot (latest or by date)
calendar [--country USD] [--impact High] [--days 7] — economic events
summary --days 5 — summary stats (mean/min/max/trend)
export --days 365 --csv — full export for backtesting

Database

SQLite at data/macro.db. Schema in scripts/collect.py init_db().

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.
