Description
This skill should be used when the user asks to "get stock prices", "check stock quotes", "look up earnings", "get financial data", "find trending stocks", or needs stock market data from Yahoo Finance.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you are comfortable adding `jq`, installing the `yahoo-finance2` npm CLI, allowing network requests to Yahoo Finance, and creating or overwriting a local `yf` command symlink. The reviewed artifacts show market-data lookup behavior, not trading authority or hidden data access.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: yahoo-finance-cli
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill 'yahoo-finance-cli' is classified as benign. Its purpose is to fetch financial data from Yahoo Finance, which is clearly aligned with its stated goal. Installation uses standard package managers (Homebrew for `jq`, npm for `yahoo-finance2`) and creates a symbolic link, all common practices. The only potentially risky command, `rm -f ~/.yf2-cookies.json`, is explicitly for troubleshooting a cookie file created by the skill itself, not for arbitrary file deletion or system compromise. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's behavior for harmful purposes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is fetching stock quotes, earnings, historical prices, symbol search, trending symbols, and related Yahoo Finance data; the artifact instructions match that read-only market-data purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime examples are limited to `yf` Yahoo Finance CLI calls and `jq` filtering, with no trading, account mutation, broad file access, public posting, or unrelated system actions.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses Homebrew for `jq`, npm for `yahoo-finance2`, and a symlink to expose `yf`; this is purpose-aligned, though users should be comfortable installing the third-party npm CLI and changing a command path.
Credentials
Network access to Yahoo Finance and JSON processing are expected for this purpose. The artifact does not show broad local indexing, credential harvesting, or unrelated data flows.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact discloses a Yahoo Finance cookie file at `~/.yf2-cookies.json` and a local `yf` symlink. The only deletion command targets that disclosed cookie file for troubleshooting.
