What This Skill Does

The macro-monitor skill is an advanced automated intelligence agent designed to keep you updated on the pulse of the global and domestic economy. By leveraging browser automation, it monitors reputable data sources including Trading Economics, the Federal Reserve (FRED), the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), and major financial news platforms like Cailian Press. Every day at 10 PM, the skill performs a comprehensive sweep of the previous 24 hours of macroeconomic data, regulatory changes, and critical market news.

What sets this skill apart is its 'education-first' approach. It maintains a dedicated knowledge base of economic indicators. For every piece of data retrieved, the agent cross-references it with its internal indicators.md file to provide a clear, beginner-friendly explanation. If an indicator is unknown or missing from the database, the agent dynamically performs targeted web research to synthesize an explanation, ensuring you understand not just the 'what' of the economic data, but the 'why' and 'how' it impacts the market.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the following CLI command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hmzo/macro-monitor

Ensure your agent has the necessary permissions to access the browser and read local files within the workspace, as the skill requires these to parse the indicators knowledge base and navigate web interfaces.

Use Cases

• Investment Research: Get a daily summary of inflation figures, interest rate decisions, and GDP growth reports without manually checking multiple websites.
• Policy Monitoring: Stay informed on new monetary or regulatory policies from the PBOC or CSRC that might affect your financial decisions.
• Economic Education: Learn the meaning and significance of complex financial metrics like PMI, MLF, or core CPI through the agent’s mandatory explanatory breakdowns.
• Time-Saving: Replace 30 minutes of browsing news sites and financial calendars with a concise, AI-curated report delivered automatically every evening.

Example Prompts

1. "执行宏观数据监控，浏览免费数据源，整理过去24小时发布的宏观数据和政策信息并推送。"

Tips & Limitations

• Knowledge Base: You can customize the references/indicators.md file in your workspace to add your own preferred definitions for specific economic indicators.
• Constraint: The skill is designed to operate on a 24-hour cycle. If the website structure of one of the data sources changes significantly, the browser agent may require a prompt update to its selectors.
• Accuracy: While the skill performs cross-verification for unknown indicators, always verify critical financial decisions against primary official sources during periods of extreme market volatility.
