matlab-access-datafeed
Guide for accessing financial and economic data in MATLAB using the Datafeed Toolbox. Covers Bloomberg (market data via bloomberg/blp/bloombergHypermedia), FRED (Federal Reserve economic data via fredrs), and Haver Analytics (economic data via haver/haverdirect/haverview). Use when connecting to any of these data providers from MATLAB.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Datafeed Toolbox — Bloomberg, FRED, and Haver Analytics Access financial and economic data from three major providers through the MATLAB Datafeed Toolbox. ## When to Use - User wants to connect to **Bloomberg**, **FRED**, or **Haver Analytics** from MATLAB - User needs to retrieve market data (prices, history, real-time, reference data) via Bloomberg - User needs to retrieve economic time series from the St. Louis Fed (FRED) - User needs to fetch economic/financial time series from Haver Analytics databases - User needs help choosing between interfaces within a provider (e.g., bloomberg vs blp vs bloombergHypermedia, haver vs haverview) - User is writing MATLAB code involving securities, economic indicators, or data provider connectivity ## When NOT to Use - General financial modeling or portfolio optimization that doesn't involve data provider connectivity - Bloomberg Terminal keyboard shortcuts or Excel add-in questions (not MATLAB) - Data sources not covered here (e.g., Yahoo Finance, Reuters/Refinitiv) ## Provider Overview | Provider | Data Type | Interfaces | Reference | |----------|-----------|------------|-----------| | Bloomberg | Market data (equities, fixed income, deri

What does the matlab-access-datafeed skill do?
Guide for accessing financial and economic data in MATLAB using the Datafeed Toolbox. Covers Bloomberg (market data via bloomberg/blp/bloombergHypermedia), FRED (Federal Reserve economic data via fredrs), and Haver Analytics (economic data via haver/haverdirect/haverview). Use when connecting to any of these data providers from MATLAB.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-access-datafeed --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 matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 868 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.
