## Description

Summarize what's moving in the market right now using the AlphaAI MCP. Use when the user asks "what's moving?", "what's the big story today?", "anything breaking?", "market pulse", or wants a fast read on the current tape rather than one specific ticker.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Market pulse

Answer "what's happening *right now*?" from AlphaAI's feed. Two tools cover two
different questions, pick the right one:

- **`alphai_actionable_now`**, breaking, *decision-grade* news from the last few
  hours. The gate is strict: by default only `actionability='high'` (something to
  act on TODAY, guidance cut, halted trading, breaking M&A, surprise print).
- **`alphai_trending`**, top stories of the last 48h by relevance. The "big
  picture", not necessarily urgent.

## Steps

1. **Start narrow, with `alphai_actionable_now()`** (defaults: last 6h,
   high-actionability). This is the real "is anything breaking" signal.
2. **Read an empty result correctly.** Outside major market hours (nights,
   weekends, crypto trades 24/7, but high-actionability prints still cluster in
   US/European/Asian sessions) an empty list is *expected*, it means no
   high-actionability prints in the window, **not** that the tool failed. Before
   concluding "nothing happened", widen once: `alphai_actionable_now(hours=24, min_actionability='medium')`.
3. **Add the backdrop with `alphai_trending(limit=10)`.** Use this for the
   "bigger stories shaping the week" layer even when nothing is breaking.
4. **Optional focus.** If the user named a sector or theme, resolve it to
   tickers (`alphai_tickers(q=...)` or your own knowledge), then
   `alphai_news_search(tickers=[...], min_relevance=7)`, there is no free-text
   news search; match themes client-side on the returned titles/summaries.

## Output

- **Breaking now**, the high-actionability items, if any. Each: headline ·
  ticker(s) · one clause on the decision it forces. If none, say so in one line
  and note the window you checked.
- **Big picture**, 3, 5 trending stories by relevance, each a one-liner.
- **So what**, one or two sentences tying it together (risk-on/off, a sector in
  focus, an event everyone's positioning around).
