How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

0
Common
Most of the 10 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Common

Very specific

Distinctive:
Read references/tradingeconomics.md for Trading Economics routing, input rules, and JSON contracts.
line 22
Very specific:

Very specific:

line 60
Very specific:

line 61

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 10 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Finance

Finance is the specialist skill for market and macroeconomic data. It depends on Browser Tools for managed Chrome, owner-token safety, copied profile sync, background tabs, cache flow, and cleanup. Keep Browser Tools generic. Do not add finance-specific helpers back to Browser Tools.

Source choice

User asks for	Prefer	Why
Ticker quote snapshots for equities, futures, indexes, FX, crypto	`scripts/yahoo-finance.mjs`	Fast quote API through the browser session
Perplexity finance quote snapshots or market overview	`scripts/perplexity-finance.mjs`	Uses Perplexity Finance authenticated browser API
Commodities, stock indexes, share treemap, currencies, bonds	`scripts/tradingeconomics-markets.mjs`	Broad Trading Economics market pages
Country indicator dashboards or available countries	`scripts/tradingeconomics-indicators.mjs`	Country tabs and `/matrix` country table
Country forecast pages	`scripts/tradingeconomics-forecasts.mjs`	Full Trading Economics forecast sections
Cross-country macro comparison	`scripts/tradingeconomics-country-list.mjs`	Trading Economics `/country-list/<indicator>` tables

Read references/tradingeconomics.md for Trading Economics routing, input rules, and JSON contracts.

Browser Tools dependency

Start a Browser Tools managed browser first when a helper needs live browser access. Use browser-tools start --task finance --sync, then export the owner token it prints.

Use --sync when current cookies matter or a provider looks logged out. Use the reported --port when Browser Tools did not use the default port.

Finance helpers import Browser Tools at runtime from the @rezkam/browser-tools package. They do not own Chrome lifecycle, profile discovery, cache directories, or DevTools safety.

Commands

# Yahoo quote snapshot
scripts/yahoo-finance.mjs --tickers "AMZN,BZ=F,^GSPC" --json --port <reported port>

# Perplexity Finance
scripts/perplexity-finance.mjs --tickers "AMZN,META,GC=F" --json --port <reported port>
scripts/perplexity-finance.mjs --market --json --port <reported port>

# Trading Economics markets
scripts/tradingeconomics-markets.mjs --market commodities --json --port <reported port>
scripts/tradingeconomics-markets.mjs --market currencies --json --port <reported port>

# Trading Economics country and comparison data
scripts/tradingeconomics-indicators.mjs --country sweden --json --port <reported port>
scripts/tradingeconomics-indicators.mjs --list-countries --json --port <reported port>
scripts/tradingeconomics-forecasts.mjs --country united-states --json --port <reported port>
scripts/tradingeconomics-country-list.mjs --indicator government-spending-to-gdp --countries "United States,Sweden,Germany" --json --port <reported port>

Operating rules

Use Browser Tools managed Chrome only. Never connect to main Chrome or unmanaged DevTools sessions.
Pass the owner token through --owner-token <token> or BROWSER_TOOLS_OWNER_TOKEN.
Prefer helper scripts over manual page scraping because they already handle background tabs, output sidecars, cache, and source-specific extraction.
Use --json for Trading Economics tasks and return a JSON object to the user.
Include source, captured_at, source URL, row counts or coverage, missing country information, and any provider errors in the final answer.
If the full output is too large, save it to /tmp/...json and return full_json_path plus a compact summary.
Stop Browser Tools with browser-tools stop --clean --port <reported port> --owner-token <token> if you started it for the task.

Local config and cache

Browser Tools owns local directories and profile discovery. Defaults work out of the box:

Config: ~/.agents/browser-tools/config.json
Browser cache and copied profiles: ~/.cache/pi-browser-tools
Artifacts: /tmp unless directories.artifactDir is configured

Users can change directories, Chrome binary, source Chrome profile location, aliases, and task profiles in the Browser Tools config. Finance should not store profile mappings in this repo.
