Notes
uv runreads the inline# /// scriptdependency block inmain.pyand auto-installsyfinance.- Do NOT use web search or curl for these prices — use this script for consistent formatting.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do only what it says: run a small Python script (via the uv runner) that installs yfinance and queries Yahoo Finance for commodity tickers. Before installing, ensure you have (or trust) the 'uv' runner since it will install yfinance from PyPI at runtime and perform network requests to Yahoo. No API keys or secrets are requested. If you have security concerns, review the included source files yourself or run the skill in an isolated environment (container/VM) to limit exposure.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: commodities
Version: 1.0.0
The commodities skill bundle is a legitimate tool designed to fetch and format commodity price data and news from Yahoo Finance using the yfinance library. The code in src/main.py and src/service.py is well-structured, follows the stated purpose, and contains no indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included Python scripts which use yfinance to fetch commodity tickers; the declared required binary (uv) is consistent with the SKILL.md commands.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the code limit behavior to calling yfinance for price/history/news and formatting output. The skill does not read unrelated files or environment variables. It does surface news article link URLs (from Yahoo) but does not follow or fetch them itself.
Install Mechanism
There is no external download URL; main.py contains an inline dependency block that causes uv to install the 'yfinance' Python package (likely via PyPI) at runtime. Installing a package from PyPI is normal here but is the primary runtime install action to be aware of.
Credentials
The skill requests no env vars, no credentials, and no config paths. All external access is to Yahoo Finance via the yfinance library, which is appropriate for the stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not claim or attempt to persist beyond its own files. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with any elevated privileges or secret access.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install commodities - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/commodities - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
