Description
Fetches real-time FOREX news and market data from Yahoo Finance for major currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.). Analyzes sentiment and provides trading context.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and uses yfinance to fetch Yahoo data. Before installing, consider: (1) it requires network access to Yahoo Finance (yfinance) so ensure your environment permits outbound HTTP(s); (2) sentiment is simple keyword-counting (not deep NLP) — do not rely on it as sole trading advice; (3) pip installs run code from PyPI, so install in a controlled/virtual environment; and (4) review the linked GitHub repo if you want more assurance or to audit code changes before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: yahoo-finance-forex
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is benign, designed to fetch and analyze FOREX news and market data from Yahoo Finance using the `yfinance` Python library. The `SKILL.md` and other documentation provide clear, benign instructions for the OpenClaw agent on how to execute the `scripts/fetch_forex_news.py` script and interpret its output. The Python script itself only interacts with the `yfinance` library to retrieve public financial data and performs local sentiment analysis, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's intended behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the implementation: the script uses yfinance to fetch ticker data and news for the documented 7 currency pairs and performs keyword-based sentiment analysis; required binaries and packages (python3, yfinance) are appropriate.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the included Python script and parse its JSON output. The script only performs network calls to Yahoo Finance via the yfinance library and does not read unrelated files, environment variables, or system configuration.
Install Mechanism
Install uses pip to install yfinance>=0.2.40, which is a standard packaging mechanism for a Python dependency. No downloads from untrusted URLs or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The code does not attempt to access secrets or external credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent/always-on presence, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and uses only its own script at runtime.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install yahoo-finance-forex - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/yahoo-finance-forex - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
