What This Skill Does

The Finance Watcher skill is a powerful command-line interface tool designed to act as your personal market analyst. It bridges the gap between complex financial data and actionable insights by aggregating real-time price feeds for both traditional equities and volatile cryptocurrency assets. By leveraging reliable public data sources like Yahoo Finance and CoinGecko, it allows you to maintain a comprehensive watchlist without the overhead of managing API keys or paid subscriptions. Whether you are a casual investor checking your holdings or a day trader requiring immediate notification of price shifts, this skill provides the infrastructure to track, monitor, and report on market performance directly from your OpenClaw environment.

Installation

To integrate the Finance Watcher into your workflow, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI environment initialized. You can install the skill by executing the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/su707181393-del/finance-watcher

Once installed, verify the setup by navigating to the skill directory and running npm install to resolve all necessary dependencies. You can then begin managing your watchlist using the finance-watcher add command.

Use Cases

• Personal Portfolio Management: Keep a consolidated view of your diversified investments, ranging from blue-chip stocks to digital assets, in a single dashboard.
• Automated Trading Assistance: Set conditional price triggers (above or below thresholds) to receive real-time notifications for potential entry or exit points.
• Performance Reporting: Generate periodic Markdown reports to archive historical price data and performance metrics for your personal records or tax documentation.
• Market Research: Quickly compare the relative strength of different assets by fetching current prices across disparate markets simultaneously.

Example Prompts

1. "Finance Watcher, add BTC and ETH to my crypto watchlist and set an alert to notify me if Bitcoin drops below $45,000."
2. "Can you generate a daily report for my current stock watchlist and save it as report.md in my workspace?"
3. "Check all my active alerts and give me a brief summary of how my portfolio assets are performing today compared to yesterday."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Because this skill uses unofficial or public free APIs, frequent polling in very short intervals may occasionally trigger rate limits. It is recommended to use cron jobs for scheduled checks rather than constant polling.
• Accuracy: As these data sources are public and unofficial, they are intended for personal tracking and informational use. Always verify critical trade data through your official brokerage or exchange platform.
• Offline Usage: This tool requires an active internet connection to fetch the latest market data. Ensure your network environment allows traffic to Yahoo Finance and CoinGecko endpoints.
