Agent Times Skill for ClawHub Adds Real-Time News, Weather, and Token Price Queries
The Agent Times skill for ClawHub gives AI agents real-time context from a single command. It allows agents to answer specific queries using live data sources without requiring API keys.
Installation and Usage
Install the skill with:
npx clawhub install agenttimesOnce installed, your agent can handle queries like:
- "What's happening with NVDA?" – Returns news articles with sentiment analysis
- "$SPY" – Performs ticker-specific financial searches
- "Weather in Tokyo" – Provides structured weather forecasts
- "Bitcoin price" – Retrieves real-time prices from Pyth Network
Data Sources and Features
The skill aggregates content from 3,576 feeds totaling over 228,000 articles. It includes sentiment scoring, entity extraction, and credibility tiering for news content. The developer notes they're actively expanding coverage and requests feedback on queries that return poor results.
This type of skill is useful for developers building AI agents that need current information without managing multiple API integrations. The no-API-key requirement simplifies deployment.
