Use the same approach as `stock-price-checker-pro`: the LLM agent resolves common company names to their Yahoo Finance tickers. | Company | Ticker | |---------|--------| | NVIDIA | `NVDA` | | Apple | `AAPL` | | Tesla | `TSLA` | | Microsoft | `MSFT` | | Amazon | `AMZN` | | Google / Alphabet | `GOOGL` | | Meta / Facebook | `META` | | Rheinmetall | `RHM.DE` | | SAP | `SAP.DE` | | ASML | `ASML.AS` | | Shell | `SHEL.L` | If unsure, ask: *"Just to confirm — that's the ticker ``, right?"* ### Step 2 — Collect lead time and notification time Ask the user two questions. Apply defaults if they do not specify. | Question | Default | Options | |----------|---------|---------| | How many weeks before earnings? | **1 week** (7 days) | 1 or 2 weeks | | At what time? (with timezone) | **10 AM CET** (Europe/Paris) | Any time in any timezone | **Examples of user input and how to parse it:** - *"1 week, 9 AM New York time"* → lead_days=7, hour=9, minute=0, tz=America/New_York - *"2 weeks, 8 AM London"* → lead_days=14, hour=8, minute=0, tz=Europe/London - *"just use defaults"* → lead_days=7, hour=10, minute=0, tz=Europe/Paris - *(no lead time or time given)* → apply defaults, confirm with user **Always confirm before proceeding.** Summarise: > Got it! Here's what I'll set up: > 📊 **Company:** NVIDIA (NVDA) > 📅 **Lead time:** 1 week before earnings > ⏰ **Time:** 10:00 AM CET (Europe/Paris) > 🔔 **Delivery:** Daily countdown briefing to this chat > > Shall I go ahead? ### Step 3 — Fetch the next earnings date ```bash uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py ``` The command outputs: ``` Ticker: NVDA Company: NVIDIA Corporation Next Earnings Date: 2026-06-15 ``` If the output contains `Error:`, report the error to the user and stop. ### Step 4 — Compute the reminder schedule From the script output, compute: - **reminder_start_date** = `Next Earnings Date` − `lead_days` (7 or 14) - **cron_expression** = `cron: * * *` (daily at the specified time in the user's timezone) - e.g. 10 AM → `cron:0 10 * * *` - e.g. 9:30 AM → `cron:30 9 * * *` ⚠️ If `reminder_start_date` is **today or in the past**, start the daily reminders **today** (the cron will fire at the next occurrence of the specified time). Mention this to the user: > The earnings date is close — reminders will start today at 10 AM CET. ⚠️ If `reminder_start_date` is **after the earnings date** (earnings are very soon), tell the user: > The earnings date is less than your chosen lead time away. Daily reminders may not be useful. Do you still want to proceed? ⚠️ If the earnings date is **today**, say: > Earnings are today! Would you like me to run a full briefing now instead of scheduling a reminder? ### Step 5 — Create the daily cron reminder via remind-me The cron message must contain clear instructions for the agent that fires it each day. The message tells the agent to: 1. Check if today is on or after the earnings date 2. If so: send a final "Earnings day!" message, run `stock-price-checker-pro` + `stock-fundamentals`, and **cancel this reminder** 3. If not: compute days remaining, run `stock-price-checker-pro` + `stock-fundamentals`, and send a countdown briefing Use the remind-me `create` command: ```bash uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/remind-me/src/main.py create \ " Earnings Countdown - Daily " \ "📊 () Earnings Countdown. Next earnings date: .\n\nIf today is on or after :\n1. Say '🔔 () earnings are TODAY! 🎯'\n2. Run: uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/stock-price-checker-pro/src/main.py \n3. Run: uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/stock-fundamentals/src/main.py \n4. Send a comprehensive earnings-day briefing with price, fundamentals, and a quick take.\n5. Cancel this reminder by running: uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/remind-me/src/main.py cancel name ' Earnings Countdown - Daily '\n\nIf today is before :\n1. Compute days_remaining = days between today and \n2. Say '🔔 () earnings in {days_remaining} days — briefing below.'\n3. Run: uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/stock-price-checker-pro/src/main.py \n4. Run: uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/stock-fundamentals/src/main.py \n5. Send a daily countdown briefing summarizing price, key fundamentals, and recent company news." \ "cron: * * *" \ "" \ "" \ "tz:" ``` > ⚠️ **Critical**: Channel, chatId, and timezone resolution follow the same rules as `remind-me` (see its SKILL.md). Auto-detect from session context. The timezone passed here (`tz:`) must match the one resolved in Step 2. ### Step 6 — Confirm completion After the cron is created, report back: > ✅ Done! Your earnings countdown is set up: > 📊 ** ()** > 📅 **Earnings date:** > ⏰ **Daily briefing at:** > 🔁 **Starting:** ( days from now) > 📱 **Delivered to:** This chat --- ## Commands ### Fetch the next earnings date ```bash uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py ``` ### Examples ```bash # US stocks uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py NVDA uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py AAPL uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py TSLA # European stocks uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py RHM.DE uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py SAP.DE uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py ASML.AS ``` ## Output The script returns three lines: ``` Ticker: Company: Next Earnings Date: ``` Or an error: ``` Error: ``` --- ## Full Walkthrough ### Example — NVIDIA with 1 week lead time, 10 AM CET (all defaults) **User:** "Set up an earnings countdown for NVIDIA" 1. **Resolve ticker:** NVIDIA → `NVDA` 2. **Apply defaults:** 1 week, 10 AM CET → lead_days=7, hour=10, minute=0, tz=Europe/Paris 3. **Confirm with user** (include timezone line), user says yes 4. **Run script:** ```bash uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/earnings-countdown/src/main.py NVDA ``` Output: ``` Ticker: NVDA Company: NVIDIA Corporation Next Earnings Date: 2026-06-15 ``` 5. **Compute schedule:** - earnings_date = 2026-06-15 - reminder_start = 2026-06-08 (7 days before) - cron = `cron:0 10 * * *` - days_until_start = compute from today 6. **Create cron:** ```bash uv run /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/remind-me/src/main.py create \ "NVDA Earnings Countdown - Daily 10:00" \ "📊 NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) Earnings Countdown.
