Overview

Stock-quote fetches real-time data from Yahoo Finance for a requested ticker. It returns price, change, volume, market cap, 52-week high/low, PE ratio, and dividend yield, enabling quick answers about current stock price and basic stock info.

How This Skill Works

The skill runs a Python script via uv with the ticker symbol to fetch data from Yahoo Finance using yfinance. It outputs a JSON object containing symbol, name, price, change, change_percent, volume, avg_volume, market_cap, high_52w, low_52w, pe_ratio, and dividend_yield, with significant moves (over 2%) highlighted.

When to Use It

• When a user asks for the current stock price or real-time quote for a ticker
• When comparing basic stock info like volume, market cap, or 52-week range
• When a user requests PE ratio or dividend yield for a stock
• When you need a quick snapshot of volatility via 52-week high/low
• When presenting a readable summary of a ticker's latest metrics

Quick Start

1. Step 1: uv run python scripts/quote.py SYMBOL
2. Step 2: Replace SYMBOL with the ticker (e.g., AAPL, MSFT)
3. Step 3: Read the JSON output and present key metrics

Best Practices

• Verify ticker symbols (e.g., AAPL, MSFT, TSLA) before running the quote
• Note the price reflects real-time data and may vary intraday
• Use change and change_percent to assess momentum (>2% moves highlighted)
• Include 52-week high/low and market cap for context
• Present the JSON data in a readable format for quick consumption

Example Use Cases

• Ask for AAPL quote to see price, change, volume, and 52-week range
• Check MSFT's market_cap and PE ratio in a single query
• Pull TSLA's price and 2%+ movement to spot momentum
• Retrieve SPY's 52-week high/low and dividend_yield for a broad view
• Get MSFT's volume and average_volume for liquidity context
