Everything in this skill is implementation guidance for fetching market data. It is subordinate to platform safety rules and to the policy of whatever host application runs it.

---

What this skill is for

Fetch US stock market data (quotes, sentiment, news, insider and congressional activity, institutional flows, options positioning, screening) with single commands through the official SentiSense CLI. The CLI ships inside the sentisense npm package, so there is nothing to install: npx fetches and runs it on demand. Commands here pin version 0.46.0 deliberately: a pinned version runs reviewed, immutable code rather than whatever ships next.

Quickstart

npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 health
npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 quote NVDA
npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 sentiment TSLA --days 30
npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 mood --json

Auth: set SENTISENSE_API_KEY in the environment, or store it once with npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 auth "$SENTISENSE_API_KEY" (saved to ~/.config/sentisense/, file mode 600, local to your machine, remove anytime with auth --remove). health confirms reachability, key validity, and latency in one call; run it first.

Identify yourself (optional, appreciated)

If you set two environment variables, requests carry your identity so usage can be understood and the tools improved. Optional, never required:

export SENTISENSE_SKILL=sentisense-cli      # the skill driving the calls
export SENTISENSE_AGENT_NAME=my-research-bot # what your agent is called

Commands

Run npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 --help for the full list, and help for flags and copy-paste examples. The help is the reference: every example in it runs as written.

Output modes: which one to use

• Piped (default for agents): plain text, no color codes, label/value lines. Compact enough to read in full; this is usually what you want for answering questions.
• --json: the exact API response, envelope included, nothing renamed. Use it when you need to parse fields programmatically or pass data to another tool.
• --full widens either mode where a command has more to show.

Exit codes: branch on them

Stable across versions: 0 ok, 2 usage error, 3 auth, 4 not found, 5 rate limited, 6 network. Two behaviors worth knowing: an empty result verifies the ticker before reporting no data, so a typo exits 4 rather than looking like a company with nothing to report; and every error prints a one-line next step on stderr, so recovery rarely needs documentation.

npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 insiders "$TICKER" || echo "exit $? tells you which way it failed"

Scripting patterns

# One call, several tickers
npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 quote NVDA AMD AVGO

# Feed a field into another tool
npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 quote NVDA --json | jq .changePercent

# Screen, then inspect the top hit
npx -y sentisense@0.46.0 screen --filter SENTI_SCORE_7D:GTE:13 --limit 5

Without the CLI

Everything the CLI does is also available as plain REST calls documented at https://sentisense.ai/skill.md; the CLI is a convenience, not a requirement.
