Description
Track stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto (where available), and FX pairs with caching + provider fallbacks.
Usage Guidance
Before installing, expect the skill to run Python scripts, install finance-data dependencies, contact public market-data APIs, and create local cache/watchlist files. Prefer a dedicated virtual environment and review or pin dependency versions if reproducibility matters.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: finance
Version: 1.1.2
The OpenClaw skill bundle is designed to track market data using public APIs and local caching. It uses `yfinance` for stocks/ETFs/indices and ExchangeRate-API for FX rates. File system operations are limited to a designated `.cache/market-tracker` directory for caching and watchlist persistence. The `market_watchlist.py` script uses `subprocess.run` to call `market_quote.py` within the same skill, which is a safe modularity pattern. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent beyond standard operational instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Market quotes, FX rates, historical data, caching, and watchlist management fit the stated finance/market-tracking purpose.
Instruction Scope
The skill uses shell-run Python scripts, network APIs, and local state; these are purpose-aligned but should be visible to users before use.
Install Mechanism
Dependencies are installed from PyPI with lower-bound requirements rather than pinned versions, which creates reproducibility and supply-chain hygiene risk but is not enough by itself for Review.
Credentials
Network access to public market-data providers and file writes limited to a market-tracker cache/state directory are proportionate for this type of skill.
Persistence & Privilege
The watchlist and cache persist locally, but the stored data appears limited to market symbols/settings rather than credentials or broad private content.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install finance - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/finance - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
