- description
- Monitor Bank of China FX rates and manage reusable GBP/HKD/JPY alert workflows. Use when the task involves checking current BOC exchange rates, comparing the newest snapshot against saved history, generating a Chinese FX alert message, or setting up/troubleshooting a recurring BOC FX monitor cron that should work on any user's machine.
Fx Monitor
Use the bundled portable checker instead of relying on host-specific scripts.
Workflow
- Run
python3 /home/xhp/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fx-monitor/scripts/check_boc_fx.py. - Parse the key-value output.
- Handle results by
STATUS:
- ALERT: send one concise Chinese alert message. - NO_ALERT: return NO_REPLY unless the user explicitly asked for a status report. - ERROR: report a short Chinese failure message with MESSAGE.
Output rules
For alert messages:
- Start with
【汇率告警】. - Include the Bank of China page publish time.
- Mention all triggered conditions naturally in one sentence.
- Prefer the wording pattern
英镑现汇卖出价下跌 .../港币现汇买入价上涨 .../日元现汇卖出价下跌 .... - Include comparison values when available.
If the user asks for a normal status report instead of an alert-only run, include:
- whether an alert triggered
- current GBP spot sell
- current HKD spot buy
- current JPY spot sell
- page publish time
- whether this run wrote a new history snapshot implicitly from the returned data when relevant
Bundled files
- Checker script:
/home/xhp/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fx-monitor/scripts/check_boc_fx.py - Default history CSV:
/home/xhp/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fx-monitor/data/boc_fx_history.csv
Notes
- The checker fetches the public Bank of China FX page directly and stores snapshots locally.
- The first successful run usually creates the baseline history row and returns
NO_ALERT; comparison-based alerts begin once at least two snapshots exist. - If the task is about cron management, keep only the FX monitor cron enabled unless the user asks otherwise.
- If a user wants custom thresholds or another history file path, pass CLI flags instead of editing the script first.
