What it does

Alpha Vantage is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Access 20+ years of global financial data: equities, options, forex, crypto, commodities, economic indicators, and 50+ technical indicators.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. It works with Alpha Vantage. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/alpha-vantage”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY
  • A credential in YOUR_KEY

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get a free key at https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key (premium plans available for higher rate limits)
  2. Set as environment variable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    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:

    • alphavantage.co

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY
    • API_KEY

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

Context cost

Alpha Vantage loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.
