Description
Analyze options chains, compute implied volatility rank, and select optimal multi-leg strategies based on market conditions via the Finskills API.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent, but before installing: 1) Verify the external API/domain (https://finskills.net and the GitHub link in the SKILL.md) are legitimate and trustworthy; the registry metadata shows "source: unknown" and no homepage, so confirm provenance. 2) Use a dedicated, limited-permission FINSKILLS_API_KEY and rotate/remove it if you stop using the skill. 3) Be aware the skill will send tickers and option requests to finskills.net (network calls); do not use it with confidential or non-public symbols you don't want transmitted. 4) Because the skill provides trading recommendations, treat outputs as informational (not financial advice) and verify calculations independently. 5) Monitor API usage and logs for unexpected calls — instruction-only skills have low disk risk, but you should still confirm the external service’s privacy/security posture before providing API credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: options-strategist
Version: 1.0.1
The Options Strategist skill is a financial analysis tool designed to retrieve market data and provide trade recommendations via the Finskills API. The logic in SKILL.md and README.md is transparent, focusing entirely on options theory, Greeks calculation, and strategy selection. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found; all network activity is restricted to the documented API endpoints at finskills.net.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (options analysis, IV rank, multi-leg strategy selection) match the declared requirement (FINSKILLS_API_KEY) and the API endpoints in SKILL.md (quotes, options chain, history). Requested resources are proportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is instruction-only and stays within scope: it directs HTTP GETs to the Finskills endpoints and local calculations (Greeks, P&L, IV rank). There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, access other environment variables, or post data to unexpected domains.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk model; nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
Only one required environment variable (FINSKILLS_API_KEY) is declared and used; that is appropriate for an API-driven data/analysis skill. No other secrets or unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no config paths or installation steps that modify other skills or agent-wide settings. disable-model-invocation is false (normal), so the skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent when eligible — this is the platform default.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install options-strategist - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/options-strategist - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
