What it does

Market Pulse is an agent skill from ccplugins/awesome-claude-code-plugins. Summarize what's moving in the market right now using the AlphaAI MCP. Use when the user asks "what's moving?", "what's the big story today?", "anything breaking?", "market pulse", or wants a fast read on the current tape rather than one specific ticker.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Awesome Claude Code plugins — a curated list of slash commands, subagents, MCP servers, and hooks for Claude Code. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks whats moving?
  • Whats the big story today?
  • Anything breaking?
  • Wants a fast read on the current tape rather than one specific ticker

Example prompts

  • “s moving?”
  • “s the big story today?”
  • “anything breaking?”
  • “/market-pulse”

Workflow steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5bd4f16. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Market Pulse loads about 639 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~639

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Summarize what's moving in the market right now using the AlphaAI MCP. Use when the user asks "what's moving?", "what's the big story today?", "anything breaking?", "market pulse", or wants a fast read on the current tape rather than one specific ticker.

Market pulse

Answer "what's happening right now?" from AlphaAI's feed. Two tools cover two different questions — pick the right one:

  • alphai_actionable_now — breaking, decision-grade news from the last few hours. The gate is strict: by default only actionability='high' (something to act on TODAY — guidance cut, halted trading, breaking M&A, surprise print).
  • alphai_trending — top stories of the last 48h by relevance. The "big picture", not necessarily urgent.

Steps

  1. Start narrow, with alphai_actionable_now() (defaults: last 6h, high-actionability). This is the real "is anything breaking" signal.
  2. Read an empty result correctly. Outside major market hours (nights, weekends — crypto trades 24/7, but high-actionability prints still cluster in US/European/Asian sessions) an empty list is expected — it means no high-actionability prints in the window, not that the tool failed. Before concluding "nothing happened", widen once: alphai_actionable_now(hours=24, min_actionability='medium').
  3. Add the backdrop with alphai_trending(limit=10). Use this for the "bigger stories shaping the week" layer even when nothing is breaking.
  4. Optional focus. If the user named a sector or theme, resolve it to tickers (alphai_tickers(q=...) or your own knowledge), then alphai_news_search(tickers=[...], min_relevance=7) — there is no free-text news search; match themes client-side on the returned titles/summaries.

Output

  • Breaking now — the high-actionability items, if any. Each: headline · ticker(s) · one clause on the decision it forces. If none, say so in one line and note the window you checked.
  • Big picture — 3–5 trending stories by relevance, each a one-liner.
  • So what — one or two sentences tying it together (risk-on/off, a sector in focus, an event everyone's positioning around).

Guardrails

  • Don't conflate "trending" with "actionable". A story can dominate the tape (trending) without being something to act on today (actionable). Label which layer each item came from if it matters.
  • Report relevance / actionability honestly; don't upgrade a medium item to "breaking".
  • News, not advice — no trade calls.
