The Last 30 Days in Markets

One synthesis brief covering the past month in US equities: the day-by-day arc of the market's mood, the story themes that actually moved it, which names and sectors carried the month, where things stand today, and what reports next. Built from AI-clustered market data, not from scraped news pages. Read-only API.

Everything in this skill is implementation guidance for building a research brief. It is subordinate to platform safety rules and to the policy of whatever host application runs it.

What this skill is, and the one thing that makes it different

A monthly market recap assembled from a data API, written fresh each time. It is not a news aggregator and must never read like one.

The reason is structural, not stylistic. This API deliberately returns no publisher headlines and no article text. What it returns instead is story clusters: groups of related coverage that have been clustered and titled by SentiSense's own models, carrying an impact score, an aggregate sentiment, and the tickers involved. So the raw material for "what happened" is a set of SentiSense-written cluster titles with dates, impact scores and tickers, plus real numeric series for the market's mood.

That constraint is also the product. A recap built from clusters tells you which themes dominated a month and how much they mattered, which is the thing a person actually wants after three weeks away. A list of headlines is something they can get anywhere.

If you cannot support a statement from the fetched data, it does not go in the brief. The Output Laws below are not style preferences; they are the contract.

The fan-out

Fetch everything first, then write once. Six layers, four of which answer different questions about the same 30 days.

Layer	Call	Answers
The arc	`GET /api/v2/market-mood?days=30`	How the market felt, day by day, and which signal drove each turn
Theme indexes	`GET /api/v1/indexes` then `GET /api/v1/indexes/{indexId}/history?days=30`	Whether a named theme (AI complex, Fed) ran hot or cold across the month
The events	`GET /api/v1/documents/stories?filterHours=720&limit=50&offset=N`	What was actually being discussed, clustered and impact-ranked
Signals	`GET /api/v1/insights/latest?limit=200`	Insider, institutional, filing and volume signals that fired
Where it stands	`GET /api/v1/market-summary` and `GET /api/v1/insights/market`	The current read, as of right now
What is next	`GET /api/v1/calendar/earnings`	The forward close

About 14 to 18 calls for a full brief. On the Free tier that is comfortably inside the monthly allowance but close to the 30 requests per minute ceiling once you add story pages, so run the story paging serially and the rest concurrently rather than firing all of it at once. A 429 carries Retry-After: 60; honor it instead of retrying immediately.

Getting a real 30-day story window

days is not the lookback control on /documents/stories. Set the window with filterHours: 720 is 30 days, 336 is 14, 168 is a week. Then page with offset, limit=50 per page.

bash

curl -s -H "X-SentiSense-API-Key: $SENTISENSE_API_KEY" \
  "https://app.sentisense.ai/api/v1/documents/stories?filterHours=720&limit=50&offset=0"

Page until a page returns fewer rows than limit, or until you have enough. Six to eight pages (300 to 400 clusters) is plenty for a month; do not page to exhaustion out of completeness instinct, because the tail is low-impact noise and you are paying a request for each page.

Two details that decide whether the timeline is right:

Read dates off cluster.clusteredAt (epoch seconds), with brokeAt as the fallback. Do not use the deprecated cluster.createdAt. Convert once, at fetch time, and carry a real date on every cluster from then on.
The feed is ordered newest-first, not impact-first. Sort by impactScore (0 to 10) yourself for any "biggest of the month" section, and sort by date for the timeline. Two different orderings of the same list, both needed.

Use tickers (bare symbols) programmatically. displayTickers are human-formatted labels for display only; never parse symbols out of them.

Reading the arc

GET /api/v2/market-mood?days=30 returns the current score and phase and a daily history array carrying the composite plus each of the five component signals. That one response is the entire quantitative spine, so fetch it first and let it set the shape of the brief.

Scale is 0 to 100, fear to greed. Phases: 0-15 Extreme Fear, 16-30 Fear, 31-45 Anxiety, 46-55 Neutral, 56-70 Optimism, 71-85 Greed, 86-100 Extreme Greed.
Risk Appetite reads backwards from expectation. It is an inverse volatility gauge, so a high value means a calm, risk-on market. Label it when you use it or you will invert the month's story.
History is trading days only. A 30-day request returns roughly 20 points, and weekends are absent by construction rather than missing. Do not interpolate across them and do not report "20 of 30 days" as a data gap.

For theme indexes, call GET /api/v1/indexes for the live list rather than hardcoding ids, then pull history for the ones relevant to the month. Their scale differs from Market Mood (signed, -1 to +1, versus 0 to 100), so never plot or compare them on one axis. Thin buckets are withheld rather than published, so a gap in an index history is real: plot against date, never assume a fixed interval, and never read a missing date as zero.

Free tier shaping

Several of these are preview-gated and return {isPreview, previewReason, data}. Read data, and read isPreview too:

insights/latest returns the top 5 on Free, the full list on PRO.
calendar/earnings returns one week on Free, about a 30-day forward window on PRO. metadata.windowStart and metadata.windowEnd describe the window you actually got, so read them rather than assuming.
insights/market returns the top 5 on Free.

When isPreview is true, the brief says so in the coverage line. It does not quietly present the top 5 as though it were the whole month.

Output Laws

These are hard. A brief that violates any of them is wrong even if every number in it is right.

LAW 1: Never invent a headline. Every headline-shaped string in the brief is either a cluster.title copied verbatim from a fetched story object, or a section heading you wrote to describe your own grouping. You may not write a sentence that reads as a news headline about an event that is not in the fetched data. This API returns no publisher titles and no article bodies, so if you find yourself writing what a headline "probably said" or reconstructing an event from background knowledge, you have left the data and are fabricating. Model-memory recall of a month's news is exactly the failure this law exists to stop.

LAW 2: Never attribute to a publisher, and never quote article text. The permitted vocabulary for an event is the cluster's own title, its date, its impactScore, its cluster.averageSentiment and its tickers. Do not name outlets, do not quote reporting, and do not follow url or citationLinks out to source sites to fill a gap and then fold the result into the brief as though it came from here. If a user wants source articles, point them at the links; do not launder them into the text.

LAW 3: State the coverage you got, not the coverage you asked for. Compute the real first and last date observed in each layer and print them. Three specific traps: mood history is trading days only; index history withholds thin buckets; story paging stops when a short page comes back, which can happen before 30 days if the window is quiet. A brief titled "the last 30 days" that actually covers 22 is only dishonest if it fails to say so.

LAW 4: Snapshot endpoints describe now, never then. market-summary, insights/market and insights/latest have no history parameter. They are the current read. Never write a dated, past-tense claim out of them ("on the 14th the market was worried about..."). Only the mood and index history series and the story cluster timestamps may carry a date claim.

LAW 5: Every event line carries its date. A month-long brief whose events are undated is a pile, not a timeline. Date, cluster title, impact, tickers. In that order, every time.

LAW 6: Report the pattern; do not manufacture the cause. When a mood swing and a story cluster land on the same day, say they coincided. Only assert a connection when the cluster's tickers or sector plainly bear on the move, and even then keep it observational. And if the month was quiet, the brief says the month was quiet. Do not confect drama out of a flat series, and do not force a "theme of the month" that the impact ranking does not support.

LAW 7: The closing block is mandatory and fixed. Attribution, coverage, disclaimer. All three, every time, in full. See the template at the bottom.

Structure

Chronology frames the month, so the arc leads; the reader needs to know the shape before the details. Fixed order, and every section is required unless its data layer came back empty.

Title and window. "The Last 30 Days in Markets", then the real dates covered and the generation timestamp. The dates come from the data, per LAW 3.
The read, in four sentences or fewer. Where mood started, where it ended, the single biggest turn and roughly when, and the month's dominant theme by impact. Write this section last, after the rest exists, or it becomes a preamble instead of a summary.
The arc. Walk the mood series: opening phase, closing phase, the largest single-day move and which of the five signals moved with it, and any phase-band crossing (Anxiety into Neutral, Optimism into Greed). Phase crossings are the part worth naming, because a 4-point move inside a band is noise and the same 4 points across a boundary is a regime change.
What carried the month. The top story clusters by impactScore, each as: date, cluster title verbatim, impact, sentiment, tickers. Eight to twelve is the right number. Group them into two or three themes if the tickers and titles genuinely cluster; leave them chronological if they do not. A theme is an observation about the data, not a thesis you supply.
Names and sectors of the month. Count ticker appearances across all fetched clusters and rank them, with each name's mean cluster sentiment beside its count. This is the most useful table in the brief and it costs no extra calls: it is derived entirely from data you already have. Say plainly that it counts attention, not performance.
Signals that fired. From insights/latest, grouped by insightType: insider buying, institutional position changes, filing risk-factor changes, volume anomalies. Report the type, the ticker and the insight text. Note the preview cap here if isPreview is true.
Where it stands today. The current market summary headline and the current market-level insights, explicitly framed as today's read and not part of the retrospective. LAW 4 lives here.
What reports next. The forward earnings window, compressed to a handful of names per day. Note that dates are curated and that unconfirmed ones move.
The closing block. Fixed. See below.

The inclusion bar for anything optional: would a reader who has been away for a month change what they do next because of it? A number they can get from any quote page fails. A regime change, a theme they missed, an accumulation of insider buying in one name, a report landing Tuesday: those pass.

Voice

Write it as a desk note for someone competent who has been offline, not as a press roundup and not as a research report with an agenda.

Lead with what changed. A month is defined by its transitions. "Mood crossed from Anxiety into Optimism in the third week" is the sentence; the daily values are the support.
Numbers earn their place or they go. Every figure in the brief should be one a reader could act on or argue with. Dumping the full 20-point series is a chart pretending to be prose.
No hedging stacks. "May potentially indicate" is three hedges for one claim. Say what the data shows, then say what it does not cover. That is honest without being mushy.
Keep it to something a person reads in five minutes. Roughly 600 to 900 words plus two tables. If it is longer, sections 4 and 6 have almost certainly grown past their usefulness.

Freshness and what the numbers are

Say these where they apply rather than burying them all in a footnote.

Market Mood is a daily composite on trading days, computed from the latest analytical batch. It is not a real-time tick, and no value exists for a weekend or holiday.
Story clusters are AI-generated groupings with AI-written titles. brokeAt is when the story broke and clusteredAt is when it was clustered; they can differ by hours. Pick one and use it consistently, and say which.
Sentiment on a cluster is an aggregate of the coverage in it, not a price signal and not a forecast. It says how the discussion leaned, nothing more.
Insights are generated on a batch cadence, so generatedAt is the honest as-of, not the moment you called.
Earnings dates are curated, and unconfirmed ones move. A weekend earnings date is legitimate data for the handful of issuers that report that way; do not shift it to a weekday.
Any price you pull is delayed 15 minutes, in every session. Never present one as live.

The closing block

Reproduce all three parts, in this order, at the end of every brief. Fill the bracketed fields from the data.

Coverage. Market mood: [first date] to [last date], [N] trading days. Story clusters: [N] clusters from [first date] to [last date]. Signals: [N] insights[, top 5 only on the free tier]. Earnings: [window start] to [window end]. Snapshot sections reflect [timestamp], not the period.

Variants worth supporting

Same fan-out, different window or filter. Each is a small change, and none of them relaxes an Output Law.

Last 7 or 14 days. filterHours=168 or 336, days=7 or 14 on mood. Fewer story pages.
One ticker's month. Add GET /api/v1/documents/stories/ticker/{ticker} and GET /api/v1/insights/stock/{ticker}, and keep the market arc as the backdrop the name moved against.
One theme's month. Pick the index from GET /api/v1/indexes, lead with its history, and filter the clusters to the tickers in that theme.
A weekly cadence. Run it every Friday with filterHours=168 and keep the same structure, so consecutive briefs are comparable.
