Stock Liquidity

# Stock Liquidity Analysis Skill

Analyzes stock liquidity across multiple dimensions — bid-ask spreads, volume patterns, order book depth, estimated market impact, and turnover ratios — using data from Yahoo Finance via [yfinance](https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance).

Liquidity matters because it determines the real cost of trading. The quoted price is not what you actually pay — spreads, slippage, and market impact all eat into returns, especially for larger positions or less liquid names.

## Step 1: Ensure Dependencies Are Available

**Current environment status:**

```
!`python3 -c "import yfinance, pandas, numpy; print(f'yfinance={yfinance.__version__} pandas={pandas.__version__} numpy={numpy.__version__}')" 2>/dev/null || echo "DEPS_MISSING"`
```

If `DEPS_MISSING`, install required packages:

```python
import subprocess, sys
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "-q", "yfinance", "pandas", "numpy"])
```

If already installed, skip and proceed.

## Step 2: Route to the Correct Sub-Skill

Classify the user's request and jump to the matching section. If the user asks for a general liquidity assessment without specifying a particular metric, run **Sub-Skill A** (Liquidity Dashboard) which computes all key metrics together.

| User Request | Route To | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| General liquidity check, "how liquid is X" | **Sub-Skill A: Liquidity Dashboard** | "how liquid is AAPL", "liquidity analysis for TSLA", "is this stock liquid enough" |
| Bid-ask spread, trading costs, effective spread | **Sub-Skill B: Spread Analysis** | "bid-ask spread for AMD", "what's the spread on NVDA options", "trading cost estimate" |
| Volume, ADTV, dollar volume, volume profile | **Sub-Skill C: Volume Analysis** | "volume analysis MSFT", "average daily volume", "volume profile for SPY" |
| Order book depth, market depth, level 2 | **Sub-Skill D: Order Book Depth** | "order book depth for AAPL", "market depth", "show me the book" |
| Market impact, slippage, execution cost for large orders | **Sub-Skill E: Market Impact** | "how much would 50k shares move the price", "slippage estimate", "market impact of $1M order" |
| Turnover ratio, trading activity relative to float | **Sub-Skill F: Turnover Ratio** | "turnover ratio for GME", "float turnover", "how actively traded is this" |
| Compare liquidity across multiple stocks | **Sub-Skill A** (multi-ticker mode) | "compare liquidity AAPL vs TSLA", "which is more liquid AMD or INTC" |

### Defaults

| Parameter | Default |
|---|---|
| Lookback period | `3mo` (3 months) |
| Data interval | `1d` (daily) |
| Market impact model | Square-root model |
| Intraday interval (when needed) | `5m` |

## Sub-Skill A: Liquidity Dashboard

**Goal**: Produce a comprehensive liquidity snapshot combining all key metrics for one or more tickers.

### A1: Fetch data and compute all metrics

```python
import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

def liquidity_dashboard(ticker_symbol, period=
