## What it does

The skill routes user stock queries to the `octagon-mcp` server using the `octagon-agent` tool. It resolves the equity ticker and fetches live data from `octagon-stock-data-agent`. The output details price changes, exchange venue, trading volume, day range, and market cap.

The skill will fail without a configured Octagon MCP server. Setup must happen beforehand. Ensure Octagon MCP is active in your agent configuration, such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Windsurf.

Beyond spot quotes, the skill provides technical indicators like 50-day and 200-day moving averages. These metrics clarify trend momentum and positions relative to 52-week boundaries.
