What it does

Alphaear News is an agent skill from ninehills/skills. Fetch hot finance news, unified trends, and prediction financial market data. Use when the user needs real-time financial news, trend reports from multiple finance sources (Weibo, Zhihu, WallstreetCN, etc.), or Polymarket finance market prediction data.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/sources.md`, `scripts/__init__.py` and `scripts/content_extractor.py`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Stock and market analysis. It works with Polymarket.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs real-time financial news
  • Trend reports from multiple finance sources (Weibo
  • Polymarket finance market prediction data

Example prompts

  • “/alphaear-news”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch Hot News & Trends
  2. Fetch Prediction Markets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3e82a7. 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 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Alphaear News loads about 269 tokens when it runs, and up to ~635 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 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
~269
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~635

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 73 words (~269 tokens).

“Fetch real-time hot news, generate unified trend reports, and retrieve Polymarket prediction data.”
