--- name: bloomberg description: Standardized Bloomberg skill for MediaUse. Includes Windows install, key onboarding, strict context/auth flow, full Bloomberg dynamic command map, and safety/rate controls.

MediaUse Bloomberg Skill

Use this skill to read Bloomberg RSS feeds and parse Bloomberg article pages with a consistent MediaUse workflow.

Scope

Use this skill when tasks target Bloomberg operations such as:

• Account: plugin health
• Feeds: list available RSS aliases
• Get: category top stories (main, markets, economics, industries, tech, politics, businessweek, opinions)
• Read: parse a Bloomberg article by URL (read news)

Bloomberg skill is read-focused. No publish/reply/engage write actions are defined.

1. Install MediaUse CLI

Install the MediaUse CLI in the user's own secure environment using the official npm package:

npm install -g @mediause/cli
mediause --version

If the CLI is already installed, run the version check again to confirm it is available in PATH.

Current support status:

• Windows: supported
• Linux: not supported yet
• macOS: not supported yet

Recommended skill install path:

• .mediause/skills/bloomberg/SKILL.md

2. Get and Configure MediaUse Key

2.1 Apply for key

1. Open https://mediause.dev/ in the user's browser.
2. Sign in to the user's account.
3. Open the Project settings.
4. Create or view the API key in the user's own secure environment; never paste it into chat, logs, terminal history, or a CLI command.

2.2 Configure key in CLI

mediause manage key --json

3. Core Flow (Mandatory Order)

Always follow this order:

First step on every run: execute install script once to auto-install/auto-upgrade the latest MediaUse CLI.

1. Discover site and commands.
2. Bind account context with use account.
3. Check status with auth health (for non-guest account).
4. Execute dynamic site actions.
5. Verify with trace/task.

3.1 Discover and plugin setup

mediause plugin list --json
mediause plugin add bloomberg --json
mediause bloomberg -h
mediause bloomberg get -h
mediause bloomberg read -h
mediause bloomberg feeds -h

3.2 Bind context before any action

use account must succeed before get/read/feeds operations.

use account argument format:

• <platform:account_id>
• account_id should be selected from mediause auth list --json.

Bloomberg supports guest read mode in common cases:

mediause auth list --json
mediause use account bloomberg:guest --policy balanced --json

3.3 Auth health precondition

auth health is valid only after successful use account.

For non-guest account:

mediause auth health --json

If auth health indicates not logged in/expired:

mediause auth login bloomberg --json
mediause use account bloomberg:<account_id> --policy balanced --json
mediause auth health --json

Guest mode notes:

• Prefer bloomberg:guest for read-only workflows.
• If bot checks or unusual traffic appear, reopen with visible browser for manual verification:

mediause use account bloomberg:guest --policy balanced --show --json

Risk reduction note:

• A visible --show session often lowers repeated anti-bot/challenge interception risk.

4. Bloomberg Dynamic Command Map (v1)

Source schema:

• plugin: plugin.bloomberg
• manifest capability tree: account, feeds, get, read

4.1 account.health

mediause bloomberg account health --json

4.2 feeds.list

List supported Bloomberg RSS aliases:

mediause bloomberg feeds list --json

Expected aliases include:

• main
• markets
• economics
• industries
• tech
• politics
• businessweek
• opinions

4.3 get.* (RSS top stories)

All get actions support:

• --limit <n> (optional)

Commands:

mediause bloomberg get main --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get markets --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get economics --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get industries --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get tech --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get politics --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get businessweek --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg get opinions --limit 10 --json

4.4 read.news

Read and parse a Bloomberg article page:

mediause bloomberg read news --link "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/..." --json

Parameters:

• --link (required): full Bloomberg article URL, or Bloomberg path resolvable by runtime

5. Workflow Examples

5.1 Daily macro monitoring

mediause use account bloomberg:guest --json
mediause bloomberg get economics --limit 20 --json
mediause bloomberg get markets --limit 20 --json
mediause trace last --json

5.2 Category scan and article deep read

mediause use account bloomberg:guest --json
mediause bloomberg get tech --limit 10 --json
mediause bloomberg read news --link "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/<article-id>" --json
mediause trace last --json

5.3 Feed alias discovery then selective retrieval

mediause use account bloomberg:guest --json
mediause bloomberg feeds list --json
mediause bloomberg get opinions --limit 10 --json
mediause trace last --json

6. Operational Constraints (Mandatory)

6.1 Read-only boundaries

Bloomberg skill command map is read-focused. Do not invent publish/reply/engage actions.

6.2 Frequency and pacing

Suggested limits:

• get.*: <= 60 calls per minute
• read.news: <= 20 calls per minute
• feeds.list / account.health: <= 20 calls per minute

Minimum spacing:

• get.*: >= 1 second
• read.news: >= 2 seconds
• feeds.list / account.health: >= 1 second

Same-target guardrail:

• Re-read same article URL: >= 10 seconds

If anti-bot, challenge page, or unusual traffic appears:

1. Stop burst requests.
2. Rebind context with --show and resolve manually.
3. Resume at reduced frequency.

6.3 Compliance

• Respect Bloomberg access controls and terms.
• Do not attempt bypass of paywall, bot checks, or authentication controls.
• Do not perform credential/session scraping.

6.4 Error handling

Always prefer --json output and inspect structured error fields.

Common recoverable patterns:

• bloomberg.get.failed: usually feed fetch/network/challenge issue
• bloomberg.get.empty: feed returned no parseable items
• bloomberg.read.parse_failed: page structure or access state mismatch
• bloomberg.read.robot_page: anti-bot/interstitial triggered

Recommended recovery sequence:

mediause use account bloomberg:guest --show --json
mediause bloomberg account health --json
mediause bloomberg get main --limit 10 --json
mediause trace last --json
