Finance Lite (Core Publish Bundle)

Slim publish bundle focused on core briefing commands.

Runtime requirements (explicit)

• Required environment variable: FINNHUB_API_KEY
• Optional environment variable: NASDAQ_DATALINK_API_KEY (alias: NASDAQ_DATA_LINK_API_KEY)
• Required binaries: node, curl

Set in environment:

• export FINNHUB_API_KEY="<your_finnhub_key>"
• export NASDAQ_DATALINK_API_KEY="<your_nasdaq_key>"

Dispatch (deterministic)

• brief → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs brief
• macro → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs macro
• bench → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs bench
• list → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs list
• add <TICKER> → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs add <TICKER>
• add <TICKER> bench → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs add <TICKER> bench
• remove <TICKER> → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs remove <TICKER>
• <TICKER> → node ./scripts/finance_lite/brief.mjs <TICKER>

Behavior + persistence notes

• The tool performs outbound requests to finance/news endpoints (FRED/Finnhub/Nasdaq/Finviz-linked feeds).
• The tool writes local cache under ./scripts/finance_lite/.cache/ (inside the bundle runtime directory).
• add/remove commands modify bundled ./scripts/finance_lite/watchlist.json.
• This core bundle does not include calendar/event-sync commands.

Scope and guardrails

• Decision-support only (not investment advice).
• Lead with dominant active driver first, then secondary factors.
• Keep output concise, structured, and source-aware.

Required output floor

Always include:

• Header: 📈 Finance Lite — YYYY-MM-DD (PT)
• Macro blocks: Inflation, Labor, Growth, Rates/Risk, Housing
• Benchmarks: SPY and GLD
• NVDA line and critical headlines section
• Notes:
  • Note: SPY/GLD trend uses Nasdaq (daily lag). NVDA is quote-only (no Finnhub candles).
  • ⚠️ Decision-support only; watch upcoming macro events & earnings.
