What it does
Stock Brief is an agent skill from ccplugins/awesome-claude-code-plugins. Produce a situational brief on a single stock/ticker — its recent high-relevance news, insider activity, and what to watch next — using the AlphaAI MCP. Use when the user asks to "brief me on <ticker", "what's going on with <company", "catch me up on NVDA", or wants a quick read on one name.
Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 to brief me on <ticker
- Whats going on with <company
- Catch me up on NVDA
- Wants a quick read on one name
Example prompts
- “brief me on <ticker”
- “s going on with <company”
- “catch me up on NVDA”
- “/stock-brief”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolve the ticker. If the user gave a company name, not a symbol, call
- Pull the ticker feed. Call alphai_ticker_news(ticker, collapse_stories=true).
- Optional context. If the user wants the wider tape, call
- Deep-dive on demand. If one story clearly drives the brief and the user
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
Stock Brief loads about 594 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 304 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Produce a situational brief on a single stock/ticker — its recent high-relevance news, insider activity, and what to watch next — using the AlphaAI MCP. Use when the user asks to "brief me on <ticker>", "what's going on with <company>", "catch me up on NVDA", or wants a quick read on one name.
Stock brief
Give a tight, decision-useful read on one ticker from AlphaAI's enriched feed. Not a price quote — a news brief: what's been happening, who's buying or selling, and what to keep an eye on.
Steps
- Resolve the ticker. If the user gave a company name, not a symbol, call
alphai_tickers(q=...)to find it. Ifalphai_ticker_newsreturnsunknown_ticker=true, tell the user and stop — don't invent coverage. - Pull the ticker feed. Call
alphai_ticker_news(ticker, collapse_stories=true).collapse_storiesfolds syndicated reprints into one row each and adds asources_countcorroboration signal — prefer it for a clean brief. Insider news is included by default; keep it. - Optional context. If the user wants the wider tape, call
alphai_trending(limit=5)and note any market-level story that touches this name or its sector. - Deep-dive on demand. If one story clearly drives the brief and the user
wants detail, fetch it with
alphai_article(uid)for the full enrichment (ticker analysis, key entities). The article body is not served — work from the enrichment and summary.
Output
Keep it to a screen. Structure:
- One-line read — the single most important thing about this name right now.
- Top stories — 3–5 bullets, each: headline · relevance score · one-clause
"why it matters". Lead with the highest
relevance_score. - Insider activity — any Form 4 / 13F rows from the feed: who, buy or sell, size if given. "No notable insider activity in the window" is a valid line.
- Watch next — 1–2 concrete things that would change the picture.
Guardrails
- Every story carries a 1–10
relevance_score; lead with the high ones and say the score so the user can calibrate. - This is news, not advice. Don't issue buy/sell calls or price targets — summarize what the reporting says and let the user decide.
- If the feed is thin, say so plainly rather than padding. A short honest brief beats a long speculative one.
