What it does

Nse Scanner is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. NSE scans: top gainers/losers, volume surges, 52w highs/lows

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/nse-scanner”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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 (its code samples are powershell).

    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:

    • nseindia.com

    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

Nse Scanner loads about 993 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~993

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.

NSE Scanner

Scan the NSE equity market for top movers, volume spikes, and price extremes using NSE's publicly accessible JSON APIs — no API key required.

When to Use

  • User asks for today's top gainers or losers on NSE
  • User wants stocks hitting 52-week highs or lows
  • User asks for unusual volume activity or surge stocks
  • User wants a quick market overview (advances vs declines)
  • User asks "which Nifty 50 stocks are up/down today?"

Examples

"Show me today's top 5 Nifty gainers" → Fetch gainers API, filter NIFTY data, sort by pChange descending, display top 5 with symbol, LTP, and % change.

"Any stocks hitting 52-week highs today?" → Fetch high52 endpoint and list symbols with their current price and % change.

"How is the overall market today — more advances or declines?" → Fetch pre-open market data, group by positive/negative pChange, show counts.

Cautions

  • NSE APIs require a session cookie obtained by first visiting https://www.nseindia.com — always initialize the session before API calls
  • NSE may rate-limit or block automated requests; add a small delay between calls if running bulk scans
  • Market data is available only during trading hours (Mon–Fri, 9:15 AM – 3:30 PM IST)
  • API endpoints and response structure may change — verify against NSE website if calls fail
