Description
Compute portfolio risk metrics including VaR, Sharpe ratio, and Kelly criterion using historical and real-time data from the Finskills API.
Usage Guidance
Before installing: 1) Verify the publisher/source — confirm the GitHub repo referenced in SKILL.md and that the registry owner is who you expect. 2) Understand privacy: the skill will make GET requests containing your tickers to finskills.net, so your holdings (which symbols you query) could be logged by that third party; do not send sensitive or private tickers if you are worried about linkage. 3) Protect your API key: use a Finskills key with minimal privileges and do not reuse broad keys. 4) Check finskills.net's privacy and terms to ensure they permit this usage and won’t retain identifiable portfolio info. 5) Because metadata (version/homepage/source) is inconsistent, prefer manual inspection of the upstream repo before trusting the skill for production use. 6) If you want to limit risk, require explicit user confirmation before the skill runs network calls or restrict the skill to manual invocation only.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: risk-manager
Version: 1.0.1
The 'risk-manager' skill is a financial analysis tool designed to calculate portfolio risk metrics like VaR, Beta, and Sharpe ratio using the Finskills API (finskills.net). The code and instructions in SKILL.md and README.md are strictly aligned with its stated purpose, involving standard GET requests for historical stock data and macroeconomic indicators. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the behavior in SKILL.md: it fetches historical/market data from finskills.net and computes VaR, Sharpe, Kelly, correlations, and position-sizing. The single required credential (FINSKILLS_API_KEY) is appropriate for this purpose. Minor packaging inconsistencies exist: registry lists no homepage/source while SKILL.md includes a GitHub homepage, and SKILL.md version (1.0.2) differs from registry version (1.0.1). These inconsistencies are suspicious but could be bookkeeping errors rather than malicious intent.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are explicit and constrained to calling Finskills endpoints and doing local numeric computations. However, the skill will issue GET requests that include portfolio tickers (e.g., /v1/stocks/history/{SYMBOL}), which means the user’s holdings (symbols) are revealed to the external API provider and may be logged or associated with the provided API key—this is a privacy/leakage risk. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading any unrelated local files or extra environment variables, which is good.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk by the skill package itself. That is the lowest-risk install mechanism.
Credentials
Only one environment variable (FINSKILLS_API_KEY) is required and clearly justified by the API calls in the instructions. No unrelated secrets or system config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and does not declare persistent system-wide modifications. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other high-risk privileges here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install risk-manager - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/risk-manager - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
