clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kesslerio/finance-newsWhat This Skill Does
The finance-news skill for OpenClaw provides a sophisticated, AI-driven gateway to global market intelligence. It acts as an automated financial analyst, aggregating data from premium sources like WSJ and Barron's alongside free news outlets like Yahoo Finance and CNBC. By leveraging Gemini-powered summarization, the skill transforms overwhelming market noise into structured, actionable briefings tailored to your preferred language (English or German) and schedule. Whether you need a morning overview of the S&P 500 or a deep dive into specific portfolio movements, this tool integrates directly into your workflow with automated delivery mechanisms, including WhatsApp and Telegram alerts.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following installation command via your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kesslerio/finance-news. Once installed, navigate to the skill directory to perform the initial setup: finance-news setup. This wizard is essential as it links your preferred news feeds, configures your portfolio stocks, and defines your preferred notification channels and cron-based delivery times. Advanced users may manage these settings manually through the finance-news config command or by updating the local portfolio CSV file located at ~/clawd/skills/finance-news/config/portfolio.csv.
Use Cases
- Automated Morning Briefings: Receive a concise, AI-summarized report of major market moves and headline news before the US market opens.
- Portfolio Monitoring: Automatically fetch curated news specific to the tickers you hold, allowing you to react quickly to company-specific announcements or earnings reports.
- Market Analysis: Use the tool to generate quick snapshots of index performance (DAX, NASDAQ, Nikkei) in JSON or text format for integration into other applications.
- Cross-Platform Delivery: Streamline communication by pushing crucial financial headlines to specific team or personal chat groups via WhatsApp.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, give me a morning briefing for my portfolio in German, focusing on the latest tech stock movements."
- "What is the current sentiment for AAPL and TSLA based on today's financial headlines?"
- "Send an evening market summary to my 'Investors' WhatsApp group focusing on European indices like the DAX."
Tips & Limitations
To maximize the utility of the finance-news skill, ensure your portfolio CSV is kept up to date; outdated entries can lead to irrelevant news alerts. While the skill provides high-level analysis, remember that AI-generated summaries are for informational purposes and should not replace professional financial advice. For the most relevant output, experiment with the --style analysis flag if you require more depth than standard headline summaries. Note that premium RSS feeds depend on your existing subscriptions; ensure your local environment is configured to handle authorized requests if specific paid sources are requested.
