## What it does

The skill walks the agent through a fixed sequence. First it searches the web for current index levels (S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow, Nikkei 225, Shanghai Composite, Hang Seng), currency rates, WTI crude, gold and silver, US Treasury yields and the VIX. Then it reads trend direction, risk appetite, volatility and where capital is rotating between sectors. The output is a report with an executive summary, US, Asian and European sections, forex and commodities, key events and risk factors.

A helper script, `scripts/market_utils.py`, handles the report header, session times, VIX interpretation and percentage formatting. Install `requirements.txt` before you run it. The `--as-of` flag takes an ISO-8601 timestamp with an offset or `Z` — a bare date is rejected, since Tokyo, London and New York status has to resolve to one instant. Session status accounts for holidays, lunch breaks, daylight saving and early closes.

Web search access is the one hard requirement; there are no API keys to set up. Two references load on demand: `references/indicators.md` for index levels and technical points, `references/analysis_patterns.md` for risk-on/risk-off criteria, inter-market correlations and seasonality.
