new-scanner

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a guided blueprint to add a new data scanner (e.g., Twitter, Bloomberg) to the Alpacalyzer pipeline, enabling automated discovery of trading opportunities from external data sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured scaffolding for new scanner development, including the conventional file layout and tests.
• Consistency with existing patterns for data collection, ticker extraction, deduplication, and error handling.
• Use Case: When expanding coverage to a new data source, such as Reddit or StockTwits, this skill streamlines creation and ensures the scanner integrates with the pipeline.

Quick Start

Create a new scanner named 'reddit_scanner' following the project's patterns, implement src/alpacalyzer/scanners/reddit_scanner.py, and add tests in tests/test_reddit_scanner.py.
