🎯 Activation System (3-Layer Architecture)

This skill demonstrates the 3-Layer Activation System v3.0 for reliable skill detection.

Layer 1: Keywords (Exact Phrase Matching)

Purpose: High-precision activation for explicit requests

Keywords (15 total):

[
  "analyze stock",           // Primary action
  "stock analysis",          // Alternative phrasing
  "technical analysis for",  // Domain-specific
  "RSI indicator",          // Specific indicator 1
  "MACD indicator",         // Specific indicator 2
  "Bollinger Bands",        // Specific indicator 3
  "buy signal for",         // Signal requests
  "sell signal for",        // Signal requests
  "compare stocks",         // Comparison action
  "stock comparison",       // Alternative
  "monitor stock",          // Monitoring action
  "track stock price",      // Tracking action
  "chart pattern",          // Pattern analysis
  "moving average for",     // Technical indicator
  "stock momentum"          // Momentum analysis
]

Coverage:

• ✅ Action verbs: analyze, compare, monitor, track
• ✅ Domain entities: stock, ticker, indicator
• ✅ Specific indicators: RSI, MACD, Bollinger
• ✅ Use cases: signals, comparison, monitoring

Layer 2: Patterns (Flexible Regex Matching)

Purpose: Capture natural language variations and combinations

Patterns (7 total):

(?i)(analyze|analysis)\s+.*\s+(stock|stocks?|ticker|equity|equities)s?

Matches: "analyze AAPL stock", "analysis of tech stocks", "analyze this ticker"

Pattern 2: Technical Analysis Request

(?i)(technical|chart)\s+(analysis|indicators?)\s+(for|of|on)

Pattern 4: Signal Generation

(?i)(buy|sell)\s+(signal|recommendation|suggestion)\s+(for|using)

Matches: "buy signal for NVDA", "sell recommendation using RSI", "buy suggestion for AAPL"

Pattern 5: Stock Comparison

(?i)(compare|comparison|rank)\s+.*\s+stocks?\s+(using|by|with)

Indicator Calculators

Each indicator has dedicated calculator following Single Responsibility Principle:

• RSICalculator: Computes Relative Strength Index
• MACDCalculator: Computes Moving Average Convergence Divergence
• BollingerCalculator: Computes Bollinger Bands (upper, middle, lower)

Signal Generator

Interprets indicator combinations to produce buy/sell/hold recommenda
