macro-intelligence

A service that gathers macroeconomic news and market context from seven sources, classifies events, scores sentiment, and exposes the results through an HTTP API. Macroeconomic data covers broad conditions such as inflation, interest rates, and market mood.

In plain words
What is it for?
For collecting news, detecting significant changes, extracting tokens, generating insights, and serving signals through an API. It does not make trades.
Why use it?
It combines scattered feeds and filters them into consistent signals for other tools to use.

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

macro-intelligence scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2 executable files (config.py, macro_news.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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Macro Intelligence Skill v1.0 — Agent Instructions

Purpose

Unified macro intelligence feed. Reads news from 7 sources (NewsNow, Polymarket, Telegram, 6551.io OpenNews, Finnhub, FRED, Fear & Greed Index), classifies macro events, scores sentiment, generates AI insights, and exposes clean signals via HTTP API. No trading logic — downstream skills consume signals.

Architecture

  NewsNow (HTTP, 120s) ──────┐
  Polymarket (HTTP, 120s) ────┤
  Finnhub (HTTP, 180s) ───────┤──→ process_signal() ──→ UnifiedSignal ──→ API :3252
  6551.io OpenNews (WebSocket)─┤    │ noise filter       │ classify       │ sentiment
  Telegram (Telethon WS) ─────┘    │ dedup              │ reputation     │ AI insight
                                    │                    │ token extract  │ store
  FRED (HTTP, 3600s) ──────────→ context data ──→ /api/fred + significant change → process_signal()
  Fear & Greed (HTTP, 300s) ───→ context data ──→ /api/fng
  Price Tickers (HTTP, 60s) ───→ context data ──→ /api/prices (SPY, GLD, SLV, BTC, ETH)

Startup Protocol

  1. python3 macro_news.py — starts all collectors + HTTP server on :3252
  2. python3 macro_news.py setup — interactive mode to list Telegram groups/channels

Requirements

  • Python 3.9+
  • pip install telethon (optional — runs without it)
  • pip install websockets (optional — needed for 6551.io OpenNews WebSocket)
  • Env: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for LLM classification + AI insights (optional)
  • Env: TG_API_ID, TG_API_HASH (or set in config.py)
  • Env: OPENNEWS_TOKEN for 6551.io (free — get token at https://6551.io/mcp)
  • Env: FINNHUB_API_KEY for Finnhub market news (free — register at https://finnhub.io)
  • Env: FRED_API_KEY for FRED macro indicators (free — register at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html)

All new sources are disabled by default if their API key env var is empty — graceful degradation.

Files

File Purpose
config.py All tunable parameters — sources, filters, keywords, playbook, sentiment lexicon

skill.md This file — agent instructions
state/state.json Persisted state (signals, dedup hashes, reputation, finnhub_last_id)

Files

What ships with it

10 files 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.

macro-intelligence is a skill published in the GitHub repository okx/plugin-store (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 4,164 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
