fear-greed

What This Skill Does

The fear-greed skill provides a real-time sentiment gauge for cryptocurrency markets, powered by the Strykr PRISM engine. It serves as a comprehensive dashboard widget that quantifies market emotion on a scale from 0 to 100, categorized into five sentiment zones: Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Greed, and Extreme Greed. By integrating this skill, users gain instant visual access to market psychology, allowing for better-informed trading decisions or automated monitoring of market cycles. The skill supports multiple output formats, including CLI-based terminal visualizations, raw JSON for data pipelines, and highly customizable UI components for web applications, including React components, HTML scripts, and iframe embeds.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/nextfrontierbuilds/fear-greed

Ensure your system is configured to access the required environment variable PRISM_URL (defaulting to the Strykr PRISM endpoint). Once installed, the ./fear-greed.sh executable becomes available for immediate CLI interaction or script-based integration.

Use Cases

1. Automated Trading Bots: Use the JSON output to trigger buy or sell signals based on predefined fear/greed thresholds.
2. Market Dashboards: Embed the React component directly into personal trading dashboards to monitor sentiment without leaving your workspace.
3. Newsletter Automation: Programmatically pull the current sentiment index to include daily market mood snapshots in automated newsletters or discord status updates.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, pull the latest crypto fear and greed index and tell me if we are currently in a buying zone."
2. "Execute the fear-greed script, retrieve the data in JSON format, and save the current sentiment value to my local market_log.txt file."
3. "Summarize the current market sentiment and display the gauge widget in my dashboard view."

Tips & Limitations

• Refresh Frequency: While the widget defaults to a 5-minute refresh interval, be mindful of excessive API polling if you are building high-frequency applications.
• Data Accuracy: This skill reflects market sentiment based on the PRISM index; always cross-reference sentiment data with technical price indicators before executing high-stakes financial transactions.
• Customization: Utilize the transparent theme option when embedding the widget into websites with non-standard backgrounds to maintain a clean aesthetic.
