Generate US pre-market outlooks and post-market recaps in a fixed 3-section format using finance news plus structured market-data pages for index snapshots a...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and low-risk: it only uses platform web_search/web_fetch to trusted finance/news sites and a tiny local script to check 2026 market holidays, and it does not request credentials or install software. Before installing, consider: (1) the source is unknown and has no homepage—if provenance matters for compliance, verify the publisher; (2) the skill scrapes Yahoo Finance HTML for structured modules—be aware of possible rate limits or transient extraction failures and that this is a brittle integration; (3) confirm your OpenClaw agent's web_fetch/web_search permissions and data-handling policy if you care about outbound network activity or logging. If you need more assurance, ask the publisher for a homepage or changelog and for confirmation that the extraction logic handles edge cases and respects robots/terms of service.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: us-market-briefing
Version: 1.1.5
The skill bundle is a well-structured tool for generating US market briefings. It includes explicit safety instructions in SKILL.md that forbid forwarding data to third-party endpoints and restrict automation to the platform's internal cron system rather than system-level crontabs. The included Python script (is-us-market-holiday.py) is a simple, deterministic utility with no external dependencies or network activity.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match what the skill asks the agent to do: collect finance news and structured market-data pages (Yahoo Finance, Reuters, Bloomberg, etc.) and produce 3-section briefings. The included holiday check script and templates are appropriate for scheduled briefings. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits operations to web_search/web_fetch on trusted finance/news domains, structured extraction of movers pages, and local holiday checks. It explicitly forbids forwarding fetched content to third-party endpoints. The steps are specific (Yahoo gainers/losers extraction) and stay within the stated purpose.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and one small local Python script (date lookup). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer, so install risk is low.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. All declared behavior (web fetches, local script) does not need extra secrets; requested access is proportionate to the described functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not unusual. The skill does not request persistent system changes or modify other skills; scheduled mode is constrained to OpenClaw cron and explicitly forbids editing system cron.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install us-market-briefing - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/us-market-briefing - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
