About this skill
The problem
Getting clean market data often requires expensive API keys, complex SDKs, or dealing with rate-limited scrapers. Developers need a way to pull quotes, history, and basic technical indicators without the overhead of enterprise financial platforms.
What it does
- Fetches real-time price snapshots, volume, and market cap for stocks, crypto, and FX pairs.
- Exports OHLC history to CSV with adjusted close prices for accurate backtesting.
- Calculates simple moving averages (SMA) across custom windows directly from price history.
- Generates side-by-side performance comparisons using returns or volatility metrics.
- Manages a lightweight local portfolio tracker to calculate total USD value across assets.
Frameworks & tools
Python, yquote CLI, Yahoo Finance public endpoints.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Manual prompting often results in hallucinated tickers or broken scraping logic when Yahoo Finance updates their DOM. This skill uses a dedicated CLI wrapper to ensure consistent data structures, proper CSV formatting for adj_close, and validated technical indicator math.
Use cases
- Generating CSV datasets for local charting or spreadsheet analysis.
- Performing quick YTD return comparisons between competing equities.
- Checking crypto and stock portfolio balances from the terminal.
- Validating SMA crossovers for personal trading research.
Known limitations
Requires the yquote Python package installed. Not suitable for high-frequency trading, options Greeks, or streaming intraday data.
