Preface¶

Visualizing stock data typically involves writing custom scripts to call market data APIs and then combining the results into charts. The problem with this approach is that most market data APIs require an API Key, making application and quota management additional overhead. Furthermore, once the data retrieval is successful, a separate set of HTML output logic must be written to present the results to others. This Skill combines these two steps into one: it uses akshare to retrieve market data (requiring no API Key) and directly generates a viewable stock data dashboard HTML file. The following section introduces the positioning, capabilities, and usage precautions of this Skill.

What is This¶

The “Stock Data Dashboard Generator (Generate & Use · Stock Dashboard HTML)” is an Agent Skill designed for stock data visualization. Located at @user_af163eaa/z-stock-dashboard, it is maintained by the publisher user_af163eaa. The current version is 1.0.1, sourced from the community, and categorized under data-analysis.

It solves the following problem: once a dashboard requirement is proposed within a conversation, the Agent calls this Skill to complete market data retrieval and dashboard HTML generation. The output is ready to use immediately, eliminating the need for manual page assembly.

Core Functions¶

1. Retrieve market data using akshare. Akshare is an open-source market data interface library. The Skill’s tag is requires_api_key=false, meaning data can be retrieved without applying for an API Key, thus skipping the key configuration step.

2. Generate a stock data visualization dashboard HTML. After retrieving the data, the Skill directly produces a visualized dashboard page. It is ready to use upon generation, making it suitable for on-demand production and direct distribution within conversations.

Installation and Activation¶

The official page was inaccessible during retrieval (https://www.skillhub.cn/skills/user_af163eaa/z-stock-dashboard). As the retrieved materials did not provide installation commands, directory structures, or configuration fields, this article does not offer unverified installation steps. This Skill is based on the general SKILL.md format. Under normal circumstances, it can be invoked in a conversation after being added via the official address in a client that supports this format. Specific operations should follow the official page instructions.

Typical Usage¶

As no official reproducible examples were provided in the materials, the following describes its working method based on the brief introduction. Specific parameters and invocation forms should refer to the Skill’s actual documentation:

1. Propose a stock dashboard requirement within the conversation, such as specifying the stocks of interest and the data to be presented on the dashboard.
2. The Agent calls this Skill to retrieve the corresponding market data via akshare.
3. The Skill generates the data into a visualized dashboard HTML, which is ready to be opened and viewed immediately upon output.

Use Cases and Precautions¶

Suitable for scenarios where there is a need to quickly produce stock data dashboards within a conversation while skipping the API Key application process.

Points to note:

1. Data source dependence on akshare. Akshare’s data comes from public interfaces. Its coverage and update frequency are subject to limitations imposed by upstream data sources. Data for certain individual assets may not be retrievable or may be delayed. It is recommended to verify critical data with trading software.
2. Ratings and download counts reflect only the popularity of the Skill on SkillHub and do not represent data accuracy or guarantees of investment returns. The dashboard is for data display purposes only.
3. Official page retrieval failure. As the official page failed to be retrieved, please refer to the official address for installation and invocation details. This article does not repeat unverified content.

Conclusion¶

The value of this Skill lies in compressing the process of “retrieving market data + producing a dashboard” into a single step that requires no API Key. It is suitable for temporarily generating stock data pages within a conversation. Official Address: https://api.skillhub.cn/user_af163eaa/z-stock-dashboard.
