stock-snapshot
Fetch a stock quote snapshot with keyless curl — Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint, read with the discipline unofficial market data demands: timestamped, delayed-flagged, and never advice. Use when asked what's this stock at, how did the market do today, get me a ticker's recent range, or pull basic price history. Produces the quote with change and range context, the source-honesty caveats (unofficial, possibly delayed), the rerunnable command, and a hard no-advice line.

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.
# Stock Snapshot Skill Stock prices are the live-data request with the highest stakes-to-availability mismatch: everyone asks, keyless *official* sources barely exist, and the standard keyless answer — Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint — is unofficial, reshapeable, and possibly delayed. This skill uses it the only defensible way: clearly sourced, timestamped, delay-flagged, wrapped in the no-advice line, and honest that anything portfolio-grade belongs with a real brokerage feed. Within those fences, it's genuinely useful: quotes, day moves, and recent ranges in one curl. ## What This Skill Produces - **The snapshot** — last price, day change, day range, volume — with its timestamp and delay flag - **Context on request** — 52-week position, recent trend from the chart series (described, not extrapolated) - **The command** — exact curl, rerunnable - **The fences** — unofficial-source note and the no-advice line, every single time ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The ticker** — resolved carefully: company names map to multiple listings ("did you mean the NYSE or Frankfurt listing?"); exchange suffixes matter (`SAP.DE` vs `SAP`) and the wrong-listing answer is

What does the stock-snapshot skill do?
Fetch a stock quote snapshot with keyless curl — Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint, read with the discipline unofficial market data demands: timestamped, delayed-flagged, and never advice. Use when asked what's this stock at, how did the market do today, get me a ticker's recent range, or pull basic price history.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill stock-snapshot --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 mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 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.
