SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Getting timely, sentiment-analyzed news for a specific crypto token, perpetual contract, or stock usually requires manual searching across many sources. This Skill fetches backend-analyzed news items with bullish/bearish sentiment labels for a single asset, with a web fallback chain for macro or uncovered topics. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Asset-Scoped News Fetching: Run tribes-cli news fetch with --kind token|perp|stock to retrieve headlines, sources, timestamps, and sentiment for one asset, with cursor-based pagination. - Sentiment Analysis: Each item carries a bullish | bearish | neutral | unknown label, enabling a quick net-sentiment read for trading decisions. - Web Fallback Chain: When the CLI has no matching kind (macro, commodities) or fails, fall back to targeted web search, RSS feeds, and browser-based fetching. - Use Case: Before trading NVDA or a BTC perp, fetch the latest analyzed news, summarize headline themes and net sentiment, and derive a trading implication. ## Quick Start Fetch the latest sentiment-analyzed news for the BTC perpetual and summarize the headline themes and net sentiment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch news and sentiment for a crypto token?▼

Run `tribes-cli news fetch --kind token --chain-id <id> --token-id <address>` with the exact chain ID and token contract address. Resolve a bare symbol first with `tribes-cli token search --query <symbol>` to get the correct chainId and address.

How do I get news for a stock or perp like BTC or NVDA?▼

Use `tribes-cli news fetch --kind perp --coin BTC` for perpetuals or `--kind stock --ticker NVDA` for stocks. Keep any dex prefix on perp symbols and uppercase stock tickers before calling.

What sentiment values does the news API return?▼

Sentiment values are exactly `bullish`, `bearish`, `neutral`, or `unknown`. Use this vocabulary in your own notes and summaries rather than terms like positive or negative.

Why does the news fetch command time out or take so long?▼

The CLI polls the backend every 30 seconds with up to 10 retries while analysis completes, so worst case is about 300 seconds. Always set a bash timeout of at least 120 seconds, preferably 300.

When should I use the web fallback instead of the news CLI?▼

Use the web fallback for macro or commodity narratives with no CLI kind, or after auth errors persist, repeated API failures, or empty results. Start with web search, then RSS feeds, then a browser skill for blocked pages.

What should I not use this news skill for?▼

Do not use it for numeric macro indicators like CPI, yields, or VIX (use macros), event odds or market-implied probabilities (use prediction), or general web lookups unrelated to a specific asset (use web search).
