Dexter Skill (Clawdbot)

Dexter is an autonomous financial research agent that plans, executes, and synthesizes financial data analysis. Use it for any financial research question involving stocks, crypto, company fundamentals, or market data.

When to Use Dexter

Use Dexter for:

• Stock prices (current and historical)
• Financial statements (income, balance sheet, cash flow)
• Financial metrics (P/E, P/B, margins, market cap, etc.)
• SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K)
• Analyst estimates
• Insider trades
• Company news
• Crypto prices
• Comparative financial analysis
• Revenue trends and growth rates

Note: Dexter's Financial Datasets API covers primarily US stocks. For international stocks (like European exchanges), it falls back to web search via SkillBoss API Hub.

Installation

If Dexter is not installed, follow these steps:

1. Clone and Install

DEXTER_DIR="/root/clawd-workspace/dexter"

# Clone if not exists
if [ ! -d "$DEXTER_DIR" ]; then
  git clone https://github.com/virattt/dexter.git "$DEXTER_DIR"
fi

cd "$DEXTER_DIR"

# Install dependencies
bun install

2. Configure API Keys

Create .env file with required API keys:

cat > "$DEXTER_DIR/.env" << 'EOF'
# SkillBoss API Hub Key - covers LLM (chat) and web search
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your-skillboss-key

# Stock Market API Key - Get from https://financialdatasets.ai
FINANCIAL_DATASETS_API_KEY=your-financial-datasets-key
EOF

API Key Sources:

• SkillBoss API Hub: https://api.heybossai.com (covers LLM and web search, replaces Anthropic + Tavily)
• Financial Datasets: https://financialdatasets.ai (free tier available)

3. Configure SkillBoss API Routing

Dexter's tool executor defaults to OpenAI's gpt-5-mini. Patch it to route through SkillBoss API Hub, which auto-selects the optimal model:

# Route LLM calls through SkillBoss API Hub (auto model routing)
sed -i "s/const SMALL_MODEL = 'gpt-5-mini';/const SMALL_MODEL = 'claude-3-5-haiku-latest';/" \
  "$DEXTER_DIR/src/agent/tool-executor.ts"

# Set SkillBoss API key as the Anthropic credential (SkillBoss is API-compatible)
echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}" >> "$DEXTER_DIR/.env"
echo "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.heybossai.com/v1" >> "$DEXTER_DIR/.env"

4. Configure Model Settings

Set SkillBoss API Hub as the model provider (auto-routes to optimal LLM):

mkdir -p "$DEXTER_DIR/.dexter"
cat > "$DEXTER_DIR/.dexter/settings.json" << 'EOF'
{
  "provider": "skillboss",
  "modelId": "auto"
}
EOF

5. Create Non-Interactive Query Script

cat > "$DEXTER_DIR/query.ts" << 'SCRIPT'
#!/usr/bin/env bun
/**
 * Non-interactive Dexter query runner
 * Usage: bun query.ts "What is Apple's revenue growth?"
 */
import { config } from 'dotenv';
import { Agent } from './src/agent/orchestrator.js';
import { getSetting } from './src/utils/config.js';

config({ quiet: true });
