Fed Agent Skill - FED-AGENT-SKILL-001

Purpose

Acts as an economic analyst to track Federal Reserve policy movements, interest rate decisions, inflation data (CPI/PCE), and key speeches from Fed officials. Provides clean, factual summaries of:

  1. FOMC meetings (date, voting outcome, rate decision)
  2. Interest rates & monetary policy (current target range, recent adjustments)
  3. Inflation metrics (CPI, Core CPI, PCE with year-over-year changes)
  4. Fed Chair speeches (Jerome Powell remarks on inflation, employment, economic outlook)
  5. Dot Plot projections (fed rate path as of most recent FOMC meeting)

What This Skill Does

  1. Polls Federal Reserve data sources for latest policy information
  2. Extracts factual economic indicators and policy decisions
  3. Formats output as clean markdown table with timestamps
  4. Outputs directly to this chat (not posted externally)

Quick Start (One Command - Print Output Here)

python "C:\Users\Legion 5i Pro\.openclaw\workspace\skills\fed-agent\scripts	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file ""

Example Full Command

python "C:\Users\Legion 5i Pro\.openclaw\workspace\skills\fed-agent\scripts	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file ""

Note: --output-file "" means print output directly to this chat. Use --output-file "fed_data.md" to save to file instead.


Output Format (Markdown Table)

When --output-file "":

## Federal Reserve Policy Tracker

| Metric | Value/Status | Date/Time | Source |
|--------|--------------|-----------|--------|
| Current Fed Funds Rate | 4.25% - 4.50% (No Change) | Mar 16, 2026 09:00 AM EST | FOMC Statement |
| Target Range | 4.25-4.50% (Unchanged) | Mar 15, 2026 | FOMC Press Release |
| Inflation (CPI YoY) | 2.8% (Down 0.3 pp from prior) | Feb 13, 2026 | BLS Data |
| Core CPI YoY | 3.1% (Down 0.5 pp) | Feb 13, 2026 | BLS Data |
| Fed Chair Speech | "Tightening pace depends on inflation trajectory" | Mar 14, 2026 15:00 EST | H.19/2.07 |
| Dot Plot (Median Rate Path) | 3.8% - 4.4% over next cycle | Mar 14, 2026 | FOMC Statement |

Advanced Options

Option 1: Add Inflation Data

python "...	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file "" --with-inflation

Option 2: Add Employment Data

python "...	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file "" --with-employment

Option 3: Save to Markdown File

python "...	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file "fed_daily.md"

Option 4: JSON Output (For Automation)

python "...	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-mode json

Example Session

$ python "C:\Users\Legion 5i Pro\.openclaw\workspace\skills\fed-agent\scripts	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file ""

How It Works

What Data Is Being Used?

This skill uses publicly available Federal Reserve data:

  1. FOMC Statements
  2. Interest Rate Decisions
  3. Inflation Reports (CPI/PCE)
  4. Employment Data
  5. Federal Reserve Speeches

What Skills Are Used?

  • poll_polymarket_markets.py (for market context if needed)
  • summarize_news.py (for economic news aggregation)
  • fetch_econ_data.py (for direct data scraping)

Troubleshooting

No Output?

  1. Check that --output-file "" is used (empty string)
  2. Verify PowerShell compatibility with Python 3.8+
  3. Ensure no other process is blocking console output

Missing Data Points?

  • Run with specific flags: --with-inflation --with-employment
  • Some data may be unavailable due to delayed releases

Configuration (Optional)

Edit scripts/track_fed_policy.py in the root folder if you need to customize:

  • Default time periods for data retrieval
  • API endpoints for polling
  • Output formatting preferences

Example Commands

Basic Execution

python "C:\Users\Legion 5i Pro\.openclaw\workspace\skills\fed-agent\scripts	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file ""

With Inflation Data

python "...	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file "" --with-inflation

Save to File

python "...	rack_fed_policy.py" --output-file "fed_report.md"

Usage Guidance
This skill is inconsistent: the documentation promises live polling and multiple helper scripts, but the only included file prints a static dataset. Before installing or invoking it, inspect the code (you already have it) and confirm it meets your expectations. If you expect live Fed data, ask the author for the missing fetcher scripts or for network-calling code; as-is the skill is low-risk but misleading. If you plan to use it in automation, either (1) run it in a sandbox to verify behavior, (2) add or review the real data-fetching code yourself, or (3) decline until the package includes the claimed fetch/aggregation components. Additional evidence that would change this assessment: presence of network I/O calling external endpoints (increase risk), or updated package with actual fetcher scripts and a verifiable upstream source/homepage (reduce suspicion).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: fed-agent Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is a non-functional placeholder or mock-up for an economic analysis tool. While the documentation (SKILL.md) claims the tool polls live Federal Reserve data, the actual Python script (track_fed_policy.py) contains only hardcoded static data and lacks any logic for network requests, file system access, or argument parsing. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description promise live polling of Fed sources and aggregation (FOMC, CPI/PCE, speeches). The repo only contains a single script that prints a hardcoded FED_DATA list. SKILL.md also lists other helper scripts (poll_polymarket_markets.py, summarize_news.py, fetch_econ_data.py) that are not present. Asking to poll external data but shipping no network code is incoherent.
Instruction Scope
Instructions tell the agent to run a local Python script and claim it polls public Fed sources; however the actual script contains no network calls, does not read files or env vars, and only prints static content. The docs' claims about data sources and advanced options (with-inflation, with-employment, JSON output) are not implemented in the provided script.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided and the skill is instruction-only with a local script. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer, so there is low install-time risk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The code does not attempt to access secrets or external services as provided.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not marked always:true and uses normal invocation. It does not request persistent system privileges or modify other skills/configs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install fed-agent
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /fed-agent
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
