Manage a US stock/ETF watchlist file - add, remove, update, list and validate tickers with thesis, entry, price targets, stop, tags, and per-ticker alert rules. Use when the user says things like "add NVDA to my watchlist", "set a stop on AAPL at 210", "what's on my watchlist", "remove TSLA", or "tag these as semis".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Watchlist Manager (US markets)

Maintains a single source-of-truth watchlist file that the `price-alerts` and `watchlist-brief` skills read.
Informational tool only. **Never place, modify, or cancel a trade.** Editing the watchlist is not trading.

## File location
Shared with `price-alerts` and `watchlist-brief`. Survives `npx skills add` reinstall. Do **not** `cd` into this skill folder to run scripts (that folder is replaced on update). Run from the **project root** by path, e.g. `python3 .claude/skills/watchlist-manager/scripts/watchlist.py init`.

1. `$WATCHLIST_FILE` if set.
2. Else `./watchlist.json` in the **project** directory. If cwd is inside `.claude/skills/<name>` or `.agents/skills/<name>` (this folder, or `scripts/`), walk up to the project root and use **that** `watchlist.json` so the skill folder and project root cannot diverge. YAML `watchlist.yaml` works if PyYAML is installed and you pass `--file`.
3. Else `~/.config/us-watchlist-alerts/watchlist.json` (Windows: `%APPDATA%\us-watchlist-alerts\watchlist.json`; or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/us-watchlist-alerts/`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eli-alvarado/us-watchlist-alerts/watchlist-manager@sha256:c43b268ee370a82b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.4bedc9f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
