# Dexter Skill (Clawdbot)

Dexter is an autonomous financial research agent that plans, executes, and synthesizes financial data analysis. Use it for any financial research question involving stocks, crypto, company fundamentals, or market data.

## When to Use Dexter

Use Dexter for:
- Stock prices (current and historical)
- Financial statements (income, balance sheet, cash flow)
- Financial metrics (P/E, P/B, margins, market cap, etc.)
- SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K)
- Analyst estimates
- Insider trades
- Company news
- Crypto prices
- Comparative financial analysis
- Revenue trends and growth rates

**Note**: Dexter's Financial Datasets API covers primarily US stocks. For international stocks (like European exchanges), it falls back to web search via Tavily.

## Installation

If Dexter is not installed, follow these steps:

### 1. Clone and Install

```bash
DEXTER_DIR="/root/clawd-workspace/dexter"

# Clone if not exists
if [ ! -d "$DEXTER_DIR" ]; then
  git clone https://github.com/virattt/dexter.git "$DEXTER_DIR"
fi

cd "$DEXTER_DIR"

# Install dependencies
bun install
```

### 2. Configure API Keys

Create `.env` file with required API keys:

```bash
cat > "$DEXTER_DIR/.env" << 'EOF'
# LLM API Keys (at least one required)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-key

# Stock Market API Key - Get from https://financialdatasets.ai
FINANCIAL_DATASETS_API_KEY=your-financial-datasets-key

# Web Search API Key - Get from https://tavily.com (optional but recommended)
TAVILY_API_KEY=your-tavily-key
EOF
```

**API Key Sources:**
- Anthropic: https://console.anthropic.com/
- Financial Datasets: https://financialdatasets.ai (free tier available)
- Tavily: https://tavily.com (optional, for web search fallback)

### 3. Patch for Anthropic-Only Usage

Dexter's tool executor defaults to OpenAI's `gpt-5-mini`. If using Anthropic only, patch it:

```bash
# Fix hardcoded OpenAI model in tool-executor.ts
sed -i "s/const SMALL_MODEL = 'gpt-5-mini';/const SMALL_MODEL = 'claude-3-5-haiku-l...
