## What it does

The skill evaluates market health by combining long-term S&P 500 breadth metrics with the short-term Uptrend Stock Ratio. Instead of relying on chart uploads, it fetches raw tables directly. The included `fetch_breadth_csv.py` script pulls data from GitHub Pages. External API keys are not required.

Visual parsing via OpenCV proved fragile whenever chart formatting shifted. That failure makes direct CSV ingestion the primary method. The tool tracks 8-day moving average reversals from oversold levels, 200-day peaks, and color regime shifts between market phases.

Output summaries land in the `reports/` folder as structured markdown files in English. The skill focuses strictly on broad market indices. If you need single-ticker evaluation, the author points to `us-stock-analysis` instead.

description: This skill should be used when analyzing market breadth charts, specifically the S&P 500 Breadth Index (200-Day MA based) and the US Stock Market Uptrend Stock Ratio charts. Use this skill when the user provides breadth chart images for analysis, requests market breadth assessment, positioning strategy recommendations, or wants to understand medium-term strategic and short-term tactical market outlook based on breadth indicators. Also works WITHOUT chart images by fetching CSV data directly from public sources. All analysis and output are conducted in English.

# Breadth Chart Analyst

## Overview

This skill enables specialized analysis of two complementary market breadth charts that provide strategic (medium to long-term) and tactical (short-term) market perspectives. Analyze breadth chart images to assess market health, identify trading signals based on backtested strategies, and develop positioning recommendations. All thinking and output are conducted exclusively in English.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:
- User provides S&P 500 Breadth Index (200-Day MA based) chart images for analysis
- User provides US Stock Market Uptrend Stock Ratio chart images for analysis
- User requests market breadth assessment or market health evaluation
- User asks about medium-term strategic positioning based on breadth indicators
- User needs short-term tactical timing signals for swing trading
- User wants combined strategic and tactical market outlook
- **User requests breadth analysis WITHOUT providing chart images** (CSV data mode)

Do NOT use this skill when:
- User asks about individual stock analysis (use `us-stock-analysis` skill instead)
- User needs sector rotation analysis without breadth charts (use `sector-analyst` skill instead)
- User wants news-based market analysis (use `market-news-analyst` skill instead)

## Prerequisites

- **Chart Images Optional**: CSV data from public sources is the PRIMARY data source; chart images provide supplementary visual context
- **No API Keys Required**: CSV data is fetched from public GitHub Pages; no external API subscriptions needed
- **Language**: All analysis and output conducted in English

## Output

This skill generates markdown analysis reports saved to the `reports/` directory:
- Chart 1 only: `breadth_200ma_analysis_[YYYY-MM-DD].md`
- Chart 2 only: `uptrend_ratio_analysis_[YYYY-MM-DD].md`
- Both charts: `breadth_combined_analysis_[YYYY-MM-DD].md`
```
