Market Pulse Skill

Generate concise, professional audio market briefings.

When to Use

•Morning market briefings
•End-of-day market summaries
•Quick audio updates on market movements
•Podcast-style financial content

Workflow

1. Gather Data

Search for current market data:

code

web_search: "S&P 500 Nasdaq Dow today [date]"
web_search: "VIX volatility fear greed index"
web_search: "[specific sector/stock] news today"

Key data points to collect:

•Index levels and % changes (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow)
•VIX level and trend
•Key movers (earnings, news-driven)
•Macro catalysts (Fed, earnings season, geopolitics)

2. Write the Script

Structure (60-90 seconds read time, ~150-200 words):

code

Opening: "Good [morning/afternoon]. Here's your market pulse for [day, date]."

Headline: What happened? (1-2 sentences on index moves)

Why: The driver behind the move (yields, earnings, macro event)

Context: Bigger picture - week/month trend, what it means

Forward look: 1-2 things to watch

Actionable: Brief portfolio implication (optional)

Close: "That's your market pulse. [Sign-off]"

3. Generate Audio

Use TTS tool:

code

tts(text="[script]", channel="telegram")

Save output to reports/market-pulse-[date].opus

4. Deliver

Send audio directly via message tool, or present the MEDIA path.

Style Guidelines

•Conversational but authoritative — like a smart friend who works in finance
•No jargon without context — explain terms briefly if needed
•Numbers are specific — "down four-tenths of a percent" not "slightly down"
•Always actionable — what does this mean for the listener?
•Time-aware — morning vs evening briefing tone differs

Example Output

See references/example-briefing.md for a sample script.

Customization

Adjust for audience:

•Casual: More personality, simpler language
•Professional: Denser data, sector-specific focus
•Quick hit: 30 seconds, just the headline + one insight
