Financial

What This Skill Does

The Financial Skill (YFinance-AI) is a powerful, comprehensive tool integrated into the OpenClaw ecosystem, designed to provide real-time and historical financial data directly through your AI interface. Developed by lkcair, this skill acts as a bridge between the OpenClaw environment and the vast data resources of Yahoo Finance. It is engineered to handle over 56 distinct financial functions, allowing users to query everything from live stock market prices and deep-dive fundamentals to dividend histories, quarterly earnings reports, and technical options data. Whether you are tracking major indices, monitoring cryptocurrencies, analyzing forex pairs, or exploring global commodities, this skill processes complex financial requests and returns them in a human-readable, actionable format.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your local OpenClaw environment, ensure that you have your Python virtual environments correctly configured. Navigate to your terminal and execute the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lkcair/financial. Before running the installation, verify that the finance virtual environment is active and that all dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file within the source repository have been successfully resolved. Fresh installations are designed to be plug-and-play, with auto-routing enabled to handle price queries immediately upon initialization.

Use Cases

• Investment Research: Quickly fetch key metrics, P/E ratios, and market caps to evaluate potential stocks before performing deep analysis.
• Personal Finance Monitoring: Track the dividend yield of your portfolio or check the historical performance of specific assets.
• Market Trend Analysis: Use the history function to pull data series for technical indicators or research long-term market trends.
• Global Asset Tracking: Retrieve up-to-the-minute data on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, alongside major forex pairs and commodity prices like gold or crude oil.

Example Prompts

1. "What is the current stock price and P/E ratio for MSFT?"
2. "Show me the dividend history for KO over the last five years."
3. "Give me the latest earnings report summary for AAPL."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the efficiency of this skill, use specific ticker symbols (e.g., 'TSLA' instead of 'Tesla') to ensure higher accuracy in routing. Note that while the tool is robust, it relies on external API connectivity to Yahoo Finance; therefore, ensure your system has active internet access. Real-time data may be subject to market delays depending on the specific exchange requirements. If you encounter issues with data retrieval, verify your network settings and ensure that the OpenClaw environment has the necessary permissions for external API requests.
