Would a Taiwan stock market data skill be welcome as a contribution?
Hi, and thanks for Dexter.
I'd like to check whether a Taiwan market data skill would be a welcome contribution before I open a PR.
What it would add. A taiwan-stocks skill covering TWSE / TPEx listings — daily prices, the Taiwan-specific monthly revenue disclosure, index levels, securities reference data, the official delisting list, and per-dataset data-quality reconciliation. Dexter's built-in finance tools are US-focused and don't serve Taiwan listings, so this is a coverage addition.
How it fits. It follows the src/skills/ convention exactly — a SKILL.md with name / description frontmatter plus supplementary reference files (a measured free-tier matrix and worked examples), the same shape as the existing dcf and write-memo skills. It uses Dexter's built-in tools rather than adding any: web_fetch for the key-free endpoints, and bash + curl for the authenticated ones (since the API takes its key as an X-API-Key header).
Zero-config trial. Five sample tickers (2330, 2317, 2454, 0050, 2603) return real data with no API key, so the skill is usable the moment it's installed — no signup to try it.
Scope and intent. It's a data-retrieval skill only. It's instructed never to recommend buying, selling or holding, never to state a direction, and to return records with their source and as-of date. Analysis is the calling agent's job. It's for research and educational use.
The skill is already published standalone if you'd like to preview exactly what would land: https://github.com/Anthonychiu1205/taiwan-stocks-dexter-skill
A couple of questions before I send anything:
- Are you open to regional market-data skills in the main repo, or would you prefer these live as external/community skills?
- If welcome, any preference on PR shape or size, or conventions I should match beyond what's visible in the existing skills? I have the skill and its reference files ready to open as a focused PR whenever suits. Happy to adjust.
Thanks!
