Requirements

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7872331. 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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- uv
- curl
- sh
- brew
- pip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- astral.sh
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

Yahoo Finance loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Yahoo Finance CLI

A Python CLI for fetching comprehensive stock data from Yahoo Finance using yfinance.

This repo ships a local executable script at {baseDir}/yf.py.

For historical backtest preparation, prefer: uv run {baseDir}/yf.py history AAPL.US MSFT.US --start 2026-03-09 --end 2026-03-12 --output json
For quick spot checks, prefer: uv run {baseDir}/yf.py price AAPL.US --output json
For broader multi-factor stock analysis, prefer the stock-analysis skill.

Requirements

Python 3.11+
uv (for inline script dependencies)

Installing uv

The script requires uv - an extremely fast Python package manager. Check if it's installed:

bash

uv --version

If not installed, install it using one of these methods:

macOS / Linux

bash

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

macOS (Homebrew)

bash

brew install uv

Windows

powershell

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

pip (any platform)

bash

pip install uv

After installation, restart your terminal or run:

bash

source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc on macOS

Installation

The yf script uses PEP 723 inline script metadata - dependencies are auto-installed on first run.

bash

# Make executable
chmod +x /path/to/skills/yahoo-finance/yf

# Optionally symlink to PATH for global access
ln -sf /path/to/skills/yahoo-finance/yf /usr/local/bin/yf

First run will install dependencies (yfinance, rich) to uv's cache. Subsequent runs are instant.

Troubleshooting

"command not found: uv"

Install uv using the instructions above.

Rate limiting / connection errors

Yahoo Finance may rate limit excessive requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

"No data" for a symbol

Verify the symbol exists: yf search "company name"
Some data (options, dividends) isn't available for all securities

Technical Notes

Uses PEP 723 inline script metadata for uv dependencies
Rich library provides colored, formatted tables
First run installs deps to uv cache (~5 seconds)
Subsequent runs are instant (cached environment)
Handles NaN/None values gracefully with fallbacks
