  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by NousResearch on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Stocks AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/optional-skills/finance/stocks
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent.git /tmp/hermes-agent
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/hermes-agent/optional-skills/finance/stocks .claude/skills/stocks
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Stocks in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Stocks on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Stocks is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

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.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Stocks AI skill do?

Stock quotes, history, search, compare, crypto via Yahoo.

Why use Stocks on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Stocks is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Stocks in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/optional-skills/finance/stocks. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Stocks?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Stocks?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Stocks with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Stocks AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by NousResearch under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
