Quote

Fetch one symbol's live price snapshot (current price, change, day range, market state, and pre/post-market price) from Yahoo Finance. Holds no logic of its own -- it calls the finyahoo package's CLI (`finyahoo quote`) and shows the result to the user. Works for US stocks (AAPL), Korean tickers (005930.KS), and indices (^GSPC). Trigger phrases: current price, quote, live price, what's it trading at, how much is, 현재가, 시세, 실시간 시세, 지금 얼마, 호가, 현재 시세.

finyahoo — live quote

Take one ticker and print its live price snapshot -- current price, previous close, change and change percentage, the day's open/high/low, volume, market state and time, pre-market and post-market price/change, and 50- and 200-day averages. The fetching and parsing live in the finyahoo package (on PyPI); this skill is a thin wrapper that calls its CLI and relays the result. An unknown ticker or a rate block comes back as a one-line error -- relay it as-is.

Prerequisite

This plugin calls the finyahoo CLI, so the package must be installed first:

pipx install finyahoo        # or: pip install finyahoo

That puts the finyahoo command on PATH. No API key or login is needed.

Running

finyahoo quote "<SYMBOL>" [--json]

Default output prints the live price snapshot as aligned name value (absent fields are skipped -- an index carries only a few).
--json emits the full record, including valuation fields omitted by the text view (Nones included).

This is the live snapshot as of now -- the current price when the market is open, the last close otherwise; market_state (REGULAR / PRE / POST / CLOSED / ...) tells which. It also carries pre-market and post-market price/change fields, reflecting the current price during those sessions when market_state is PRE or POST. For dated bars use the history skill; for fundamentals use profile.

Procedure

Get the symbol. Find a Yahoo ticker (US AAPL; Korean 005930.KS / .KQ; index ^GSPC). If there is none, ask. Handle several requested symbols one at a time.
Run.
```
finyahoo quote MU
```
Add --json when the user wants every field or machine-readable data.
Relay the result. Show the CLI's stdout as-is; you may highlight the field the user asked about (e.g. just the price and change).
Error handling. When the CLI exits non-zero, relay the one-line finyahoo: <message> from stderr as-is:
- command not found: finyahoo -> not installed; point the user at pipx install finyahoo.
- a 429 / refusing-this-client message -> Yahoo is rate-limiting; wait and retry.
- the quote endpoint needs a session token (crumb) the client mints itself; a persistent block is Yahoo throttling this client, not a missing symbol.

What this skill does not do

It does not re-implement fetching or parsing (the package does); it always calls the CLI.
It is a current snapshot only -- for dated prices use the history skill, and for the fundamentals snapshot (sector, margins, valuation) use the profile skill.
