Description
Use Yahoo Finance for quotes, symbol search, watchlists, market briefs, and catalyst-aware stock decisions.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for Yahoo Finance lookups: it runs local Python scripts that fetch finance.yahoo.com and the Yahoo search API and optionally stores opt-in notes in ~/yahoo/. Before installing, confirm you are comfortable with outbound HTTP(S) access to Yahoo from your environment and that the agent may run these scripts when invoked. The setup explicitly asks for permission before creating or updating local files and recommends restrictive file permissions — if you want to avoid persistence, decline setup and run ad-hoc queries only. No credentials are requested, but as with any tool that fetches remote data, review outputs before acting on them and avoid storing any sensitive account info in the local memory files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: yahoo Version: 1.0.0 The Yahoo skill bundle is a legitimate tool for financial market analysis and ticker tracking. The included Python scripts (yahoo_brief.py, yahoo_quote.py, and yahoo_search.py) use standard libraries to retrieve data from public Yahoo Finance endpoints (finance.yahoo.com and query1.finance.yahoo.com) without any suspicious execution or obfuscation. The skill's instructions (SKILL.md and setup.md) correctly implement local state management in ~/yahoo/ with appropriate file permissions and emphasize user consent for data persistence, explicitly advising against the storage of sensitive financial credentials.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included Python scripts and SKILL.md: the skill fetches Yahoo Finance pages, resolves symbols, and produces briefs. Declared requirement (python3) and the metadata config path (~/yahoo/) are appropriate for the stated functionality.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly focused: run the three scripts, optionally create/read/write a local ~/yahoo/ folder for watchlists/memory (explicitly opt-in), and use Yahoo endpoints. There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, exfiltrate secrets, or call unexpected external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no external install spec or remote download. The skill is instruction + included Python scripts only, so nothing is pulled from third-party URLs at install time. This is a low-risk install posture.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The only configured path is a user home subdirectory (~/yahoo/) used for opt-in local persistence, which is justified for watchlists and briefs.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false. The skill may create ~/yahoo/ for local memory, but setup.md requires user approval and recommends safe file permissions (chmod 700/600). It does not request system-wide config changes or other skills' credentials.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install yahoo
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /yahoo
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
