Teknium c49fa88b80 refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 to optional, github 6-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR, channel-gated teams pipeline (index −26%) (#98539)
* refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 skills to optional, github six-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR+nano-pdf, channel-gated teams pipeline

Maintainer-directed shipped-skills curation (skills index 1,900 -> ~1,400
tok/call on desktop; every session pays the index, so this is a per-call
diet on all installs):

- optional-skills moves (installable via skills hub, history preserved):
  creative comfyui/ascii-art/excalidraw/pretext/sketch/touchdesigner-mcp;
  ALL of mlops (huggingface-hub, llama-cpp, serving-llms-vllm,
  weights-and-biases, evaluating-llms-harness — subcategory structure
  kept); research-paper-writing (55 supporting files, 17.3K-tok load);
  openhue; blogwatcher (first taught the cronjob monitor-field watch
  pattern + web_extract instead of pre-cron manual workflows)
- DELETED session-librarian (Aug-12 'inspired by Perplexity Computer'
  port, never maintainer-intended; session_search covers discovery)
- github: six skills (auth, issues, pr-workflow, issue-to-pr,
  code-review, repo-management) merged into ONE software-development/
  github skill — routing body + complete per-workflow references;
  benbarclay authorship credited; codebase-inspection rides along;
  discipline pins from test_github_issue_to_pr_skill.py preserved
  against the reference body in the new test_github_skill.py
- pdf absorbs ocr-and-documents + nano-pdf as references/ + scripts
  (extract_pymupdf, extract_marker converted to the argparse house
  standard its contract test enforces)
- NEW session_platforms frontmatter gate (metadata.hermes): hides a
  skill from the index on gateway channels it is not for; fail-open on
  unknown platform; teams-meeting-pipeline gated to [teams, cron]
- blocked-page-recovery: research -> new web category; trigger-first
  description ('Use when a fetch fails: 403/429, paywall, WAF, bot
  wall.') so the model actually reaches for it on blocked fetches
- docs regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (195 pages); related_skills
  swept repo-wide; tests: 1672 passed (2 openclaw failures pre-existing
  on clean main, Windows-local)

* chore: ignore .skills_prompt_snapshot.json (local index cache, accidentally committed)

:::info The following is the complete skill definition that Hermes loads when this skill is triggered. This is what the agent sees as instructions when the skill is active. :::

Stocks Skill

Read-only market data via Yahoo Finance. Five commands: quote, search, history, compare, crypto. Python stdlib only — no API key, no pip installs. Yahoo's endpoint is unofficial and may rate-limit or change.

When to Use

  • User asks for a current stock price (AAPL, TSLA, MSFT, ...)
  • User wants to look up a ticker by company name
  • User wants OHLCV history or performance over a date range
  • User wants to compare several tickers side by side
  • User asks for a crypto price (BTC, ETH, SOL, ...)

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+ stdlib only. Optional: set ALPHA_VANTAGE_KEY to enrich market_cap, pe_ratio, and 52-week levels when Yahoo's crumb-protected fields come back null. Free key: https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key

How to Run

Invoke through the terminal tool. Once installed:

SCRIPT=~/.hermes/skills/finance/stocks/scripts/stocks_client.py
python $SCRIPT quote AAPL

All output is JSON on stdout — pipe through jq if you want to slice it.

Quick Reference

python $SCRIPT quote AAPL
python $SCRIPT quote AAPL MSFT GOOGL TSLA
python $SCRIPT search "Tesla"
python $SCRIPT history NVDA --range 6mo
python $SCRIPT compare AAPL MSFT GOOGL
python $SCRIPT crypto BTC ETH SOL

Commands

quote SYMBOL [SYMBOL2 ...]

Current price, change, change%, volume, 52-week high/low.

search QUERY

Find tickers by company name. Returns top 5: symbol, name, exchange, type.

history SYMBOL [--range RANGE]

Daily OHLCV plus stats (min, max, avg, total return %). Ranges: 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y, 5y. Default: 1mo.

compare SYMBOL1 SYMBOL2 [...]

Side-by-side: price, change%, 52-week performance.

crypto SYMBOL [SYMBOL2 ...]

Crypto prices. Pass BTC (the script appends -USD automatically).

Pitfalls

  • Yahoo Finance's API is unofficial. Endpoints can change or rate-limit without notice — if requests start failing, that's why.
  • market_cap and pe_ratio may return null on quote when Yahoo's crumb session isn't established. Set ALPHA_VANTAGE_KEY to backfill.
  • Add a small delay between bulk requests to avoid rate-limiting.
  • This is read-only — no order placement, no account integration.

Verification

python ~/.hermes/skills/finance/stocks/scripts/stocks_client.py quote AAPL

Returns a JSON object with symbol: "AAPL" and a numeric price field.
