This Market Tracker skill provides fast access to latest quotes and historical series for stocks, ETFs, indices, FX pairs and crypto (provider-dependent). It offers CLI scripts to fetch real-time quotes, export time series as CSV, and maintain a local watchlist with periodic summaries. Core features include yfinance as the default provider for equities, ExchangeRate-API for FX, caching to minimize rate-limits, and provider-fallback recommendations for higher-frequency or bulk needs. Common use cases: “what’s the price now?”, 30-day series downloads, currency conversions, and watchlist performance summaries. Designed for terminal workflows: install dependencies, run market_quote.py or market_series.py, and consume CSV or summarized text output. Advantages: quick answers, lightweight local tracking, reduced API usage through caching, and clear guidance for scaling to paid providers.

Market Tracker Skill

This skill helps you fetch latest quotes and historical series for:

Stocks / ETFs / Indices (e.g., AAPL, MSFT, ^GSPC, VOO)
FX pairs (e.g., USD/ZAR, EURUSD, GBP-JPY)
Crypto tickers supported by the chosen provider (best-effort)

It is optimized for:

fast “what’s the price now?” queries
lightweight tracking with a local watchlist
caching to avoid rate-limits

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks:

“What’s the latest price of ___?”
“Track ___ and ___ and show me daily changes.”
“Give me a 30-day series for ___.”
“Convert USD to ZAR (or track USD/ZAR).”
“Maintain a watchlist and summarize performance.”

Provider strategy (important)

Stocks/ETFs/indices default: Yahoo Finance via yfinance (no key, broad coverage), but it is unofficial and can rate-limit.
FX default: ExchangeRate-API Open Access endpoint (no key, daily update).
If the user needs high-frequency or many symbols, recommend adding a paid provider later.

See providers.md for details and symbol formats.

Quick start (how you run it)

These scripts are intended to be run from a terminal. The agent should:

ensure dependencies installed
run the scripts
summarize results cleanly

Install:

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate (or Windows equivalent)
pip install -r requirements.txt

Commands

1) Latest quote (stock/ETF/index)

Examples:

python scripts/market_quote.py AAPL
python scripts/market_quote.py ^GSPC
python scripts/market_quote.py VOO

2) Latest FX rate

Examples:

python scripts/market_quote.py USD/ZAR
python scripts/market_quote.py EURUSD
python scripts/market_quote.py GBP-JPY

3) Historical series (CSV to stdout)

Examples:

python scripts/market_series.py AAPL --days 30
python scripts/market_series.py USD/ZAR --days 30

4) Watchlist summary (local file)

Add tickers: python scripts/market_watchlist.py add AAPL MSFT USD/ZAR
Remove: python scripts/market_watchlist.py remove MSFT
Show summary: python scripts/market_watchlist.py summary

Output expectations (what you should return to the user)

For quotes: price, change %, timestamp/source, and any caveats (like “FX updates daily”).
For series: confirm date range, number of points, and show a small preview (first/last few rows).
If rate-limited: explain what happened and retry with backoff OR advise to reduce frequency.

Safety / correctness

Never claim “real-time” unless the provider is truly real-time. FX open access updates daily.
Always cache responses and throttle repeated calls.
If Yahoo blocks requests, propose a paid provider or increase cache TTL.
