TradingView ReaderFinance Skill
A macOS-oriented command guide for an external opencli adapter. Its documented data commands are read-only, but setup installs code, relaunches TradingView and accesses session cookies. The three-file snapshot excludes the adapter implementation and contradicts itself about cookie extraction. Options interpretation and connection checks need correction. This is separate from the official TradingView MCP; installation and authenticated requests were not tested.

How the assessment score works
Pineify weights evidence recorded from the captured files: Skill structure 15%, Instruction clarity 20%, Dependency transparency 20%, Permission transparency 20%, Safety guardrails 15%, Finance task fit 10%. Each signal receives full credit for Yes, one-quarter credit for unknown, and none for No.
The score is not an output accuracy test or user rating. Read the findings and financial assumptions even when the score is high. Risk labels summarize recorded permissions and findings; they do not measure investment risk or certify that installation is safe.

Permissions
FilesystemRead
YesThe workflow reads the included command reference and executes installed opencli/plugin files; session access is separately recorded as credentials.
FilesystemWrite
Yesnpm and plugin installation write local files; screenshots and redirected CSV/JSON create user-selected files.
NetworkAccess
YesThe skill connects to TradingView.app via CDP on localhost:9222 and makes HTTP requests to scanner.tradingview.com and news-headlines.tradingview.com using session cookies.
ShellExecution
YesThe skill instructs the agent to use opencli commands in the shell, including launching TradingView with CDP enabled.
CodeExecution
Yesnpm, npx and the separate plugin execute third-party code; chart-state uses CDP Runtime.evaluate. The implementation is outside this three-document snapshot.
ExternalCredentials
YesSKILL.md explicitly retrieves logged-in TradingView session cookies through Storage.getCookies and reuses them in Node HTTP requests. No API key does not mean no credentials.
Dependencies
opencli
External opencli package; source gives conflicting Node minimums of 21 and 22
CLI tool providing the tradingview plugin interface for market data queries via CDP.
tradingview opencli plugin
opencli plugin install github:himself65/finance-skills/tradingview
Plugin providing the tradingview command set for opencli, connecting via CDP.
TradingView.app
TradingView desktop app installed on macOS, logged in
macOS desktop application providing the TradingView session and market data access.
Node.js
Node.js >= 21 (or Bun >= 1.0)
JavaScript runtime required by opencli for CDP communication.
Data sources named by the Skill
TradingView Desktop App (CDP)
Chrome DevTools Protocol connection to TradingView desktop app, providing access to scanner.tradingview.com APIs for quotes, options chains, screener, news, watchlists, and alerts.

Read-only data access still uses sensitive session credentials
README says no cookie extraction; SKILL.md explicitly uses Storage.getCookies and sends authenticated HTTP requests from Node. The external adapter code is absent from this snapshot. Review its credential handling and local debug-port exposure separately; never print session cookies. Installation and relaunch execute code and change local state even when market/account commands are intended to be read-only.
Medium
This snapshot is a third-party CDP adapter, not the official MCP
TradingView now documents an official authenticated MCP server. It is a separate integration and does not validate this adapter or guarantee identical tools. The captured alert-tier counts, field totals, caching and subscription diagnoses are unverified implementation claims; check current provider limits and actual responses rather than repeating them as guarantees.
Medium
macOS-only — requires TradingView desktop app
The skill requires TradingView.app installed on macOS and a CDP relaunch step. It does not work on Linux, Windows, or Claude.ai sandbox.
Medium
Dependency manifest is absent from the snapshot
No requirements.txt or package.json is included in the captured directory.
Medium
Options comparisons require matched inputs and executable quotes
Comparing call and put IV at the same ATM strike does not measure skew across strikes or deltas. Compare a consistent expiry, timestamp, option convention and moneyness. A theoretical price above midpoint can reflect model assumptions or stale quotes; it is not evidence of realizable mispricing. Check bid/ask, spread, currency, IV units and source timestamp. A filtered chain can legitimately exclude spot, so its minimum/maximum strike test is not a general freshness check.
Low
Accesses TradingView session cookies via CDP
The skill harvests session cookies via CDP Storage.getCookies to authenticate HTTP requests. These are authentication credentials. README denies cookie extraction while SKILL.md explicitly describes it; inspect the external plugin before trusting its handling.
