What it does

Ticker Snapshot is an agent skill from Yijia-Xiao/FinanceHarness. Quick structured overview of a single public equity — identity, sector, market cap, valuation ratios, current price, recent trend.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 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 Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: FinanceHarness: Autonomous Financial Deep Research Framework. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/ticker-snapshot”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pull data_equity_reference for identity, sector/industry, market cap,
  2. Pull data_equity_prices (1y) for the recent trend — SMA(20/50/200), any
  3. Write a short snapshot: what the company is, its scale and classification,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1163c5e. 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

Ticker Snapshot loads about 253 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~253

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.

Ticker snapshot

Produce a tight, grounded overview of one equity.

Workflow

  1. Pull data_equity_reference for identity, sector/industry, market cap, beta, current price, 52-week range, and P/E.
  2. Pull data_equity_prices (1y) for the recent trend — SMA(20/50/200), any golden/death cross, realized volatility.
  3. Write a short snapshot: what the company is, its scale and classification, where the price sits in its range, and the recent technical picture.

Principles

  • Report the numbers and named canon the tools return (SMA, golden/death cross); let the figures speak. Note when a field is unavailable rather than guessing.
  • Keep it to the essentials a reader needs to orient on the name quickly.
