⚠️ Critical: Scope Words Only
This skill takes a market scope word as its argument — NOT a company ticker. Passing AAPL, TSLA, or any bare ticker symbol will cause an error. Always map the user's intent to a scope word from the table below.
Valid Scopes
| Scope | Coverage |
|---|---|
GLOBAL | All regions combined (default if nothing specified) |
US | S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones, Russell 2000, VIX |
EUROPE | UK + Germany + Netherlands combined |
UK | FTSE 100 |
GERMANY | DAX |
NETHERLANDS | AEX / Euronext |
ASIA | Japan + South Korea combined |
JAPAN | Nikkei 225 |
SOUTH_KOREA | KOSPI |

Notes
- Uses
uv runinternally — no manual pip install or venv setup needed. - Do NOT pass a bare company ticker (e.g.
AAPL) — it will error. Use scope words only. - For a user asking about a German stock like
RHM.DE, useEUROPEorGERMANYfor market context. - Do NOT use web search or curl to fetch market news — always use this script.
- Do NOT use the
market-news.shwrapper — calluv run src/main.pydirectly as shown above.
