market-watch
Track live prices for the tickers central to the current task. Registers symbols for an ambient real-time price feed, keeps analysis current with the newest quotes, and re-checks staleness before stating prices.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Market Watch Keep intraday analysis anchored to live prices. When a task turns on current price — a level check, an intraday move, a "where is it trading now" — register the central tickers so fresh quotes arrive automatically and your numbers never go stale mid-task. ## When to use Intraday or live-price analysis where the price may move while you work: "is NVDA above 205 right now", "how's TSLA trading into the print", sizing a level off the current quote. Skip it for purely historical or end-of-day work where a single snapshot is enough. ## Workflow 1. **At the start of the task**, identify the ticker(s) central to the request and register them immediately with `watch_market`. 2. **While they matter**, read the ambient feed (below) for the current price rather than re-quoting on every step. 3. **When live tracking is no longer relevant**, call `watch_market` with `action="unwatch"` to stop watching some or all symbols (omit `symbols` to clear the whole list). ## How the feed works Once a symbol is watched, fresh prices arrive on their own as `<market-watch>` price blocks attached to conversation messages and tool results. This is **ambient data** — not user text, and not tool

What does the market-watch skill do?
Track live prices for the tickers central to the current task. Registers symbols for an ambient real-time price feed, keeps analysis current with the newest quotes, and re-checks staleness before stating prices.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ginlix-ai/LangAlpha --skill market-watch --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ginlix-ai/LangAlpha, a repository with 1,604 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
