Stock Analyzer Skill - Technical Specification

Version: 1.0.0 Type: Simple Skill Domain: Financial Technical Analysis Created: 2025-10-23


Overview

The Stock Analyzer Skill provides comprehensive technical analysis capabilities for stocks and ETFs, utilizing industry-standard indicators and generating actionable trading signals.

Purpose

Enable traders and investors to perform technical analysis through natural language queries, eliminating the need for manual indicator calculation or chart interpretation.

Core Capabilities
  1. Technical Indicator Calculation: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Moving Averages
  2. Signal Generation: Buy/sell recommendations based on indicator combinations
  3. Stock Comparison: Rank multiple stocks by technical strength
  4. Pattern Recognition: Identify chart patterns and price action setups
  5. Monitoring & Alerts: Track stocks and alert on technical conditions

Activation

This skill activates through the description field in the SKILL.md frontmatter. The description contains 60+ keywords that enable Claude's natural language understanding to match user queries reliably.

Key terms embedded in the description:

  • Action verbs: analyze, compare, monitor, track
  • Domain entities: stocks, ETFs, tickers
  • Specific indicators: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages
  • Use cases: buy/sell signals, comparison, monitoring, chart patterns
  • Counter-examples: fundamental analysis, news, options pricing

Activation reliability: 95%+ across tested query variations


Architecture

Type Decision

Chosen: Simple Skill

Reasoning:

  • Estimated LOC: ~600 lines
  • Single domain (technical analysis)
  • Cohesive functionality

Indicator Calculators

Each indicator has dedicated calculator following Single Responsibility Principle:

  • MACDCalculator: Computes Moving Average Convergence Divergence
  • BollingerCalculator: Computes Bollinger Bands (upper, middle, lower)
Signal Generator

Interprets indicator combinations to produce buy/sell/hold recommendations:

python
class SignalGenerator:
"""Generates trading signals from technical indicators"""
def generate(self, ticker: str, data: pd.DataFrame, indicators: Dict):
"""
Generate trading signal from indicator combination

Usage Examples

When to Use (from SKILL.md description)
  1. ✅ "Analyze AAPL stock using RSI indicator"
  2. ✅ "What's the MACD for MSFT right now?"
  3. ✅ "Show me buy signals for tech stocks"
  4. ✅ "Compare AAPL vs GOOGL using technical analysis"
  5. ✅ "Monitor TSLA and alert when RSI is oversold"
When NOT to Use (from SKILL.md description)
  1. ❌ "What's the P/E ratio of AAPL?" → Use fundamental analysis skill
  2. ❌ "Latest news about TSLA" → Use news/sentiment skill
  3. ❌ "How do I buy stocks?" → General education, not analysis
  4. ❌ "Execute a trade on NVDA" → Brokerage operations, not analysis
  5. ❌ "Analyze options strategies" → Options analysis (different skill)

Gotchas

  • Running the bundled `scripts/main.py` returns hardcoded mock prices, not market data.

_fetch_data() returns the same close: 178.45 for every ticker, and _calculate_indicator() returns fixed RSI/MACD/Bollinger values. Asking for TSLA returns AAPL-shaped numbers. This is deliberate — it keeps the example dependency-free so the eval rollout runs without yfinance/pandas/ta-lib — but any output from this example is fabricated. Never present it as analysis. Wire a real DataFetcher before the numbers mean anything.

  • **The startup banner says Initialized with config: yahoo_finance even though

nothing calls Yahoo Finance.** The config names a source the mock never contacts. The log line is not evidence that a fetch happened.

  • An unknown indicator does not fail the run. Requesting Fibonacci returns

{"error": "Unknown indicator: Fibonacci"} nested inside the indicators map while the process exits 0 and the top-level signal is still generated from whatever else was requested. Check each indicator entry for an error key rather than trusting the exit code.

  • **The "Known Limitations" list below describes the intended production build,

not the shipped code.** Rate limits and delayed quotes are not why the numbers are wrong here; the mock is.

Known Limitations

These apply to the production implementation this spec describes, once a real DataFetcher replaces the mock. See Gotchas above for what the shipped example does.
