Etf PremiumSAFE
A collection of skills for AI financial analysis.
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Calculate the premium or discount of an ETF's market price relative to its Net Asset Value (NAV).
When it triggers
- "Is SPY trading at a premium?"
- "AGG premium to NAV"
- "Compare bond ETF discounts"
- "Which ETFs have the biggest discount right now?"
- "Why is BITO at a premium?"
- "ETF premium screener"
- "Why did this ETF jump 13% when its holdings only moved 7%?"
- "Is the rally driven by dealer gamma hedging?"
- "How long until the premium converges?"
- Any request involving ETF market price vs underlying NAV, or decomposing a sudden ETF surge
What it does
- Fetches the ETF's current market price and NAV from Yahoo Finance
- Calculates
(Price - NAV) / NAV × 100to get the premium/discount percentage - Provides context: is this deviation normal for this ETF category?
- Compares against bid-ask spread to filter out market microstructure noise
- Supports single ETF analysis, multi-ETF comparison, screener mode, and gamma-squeeze decomposition (split a surge into NAV-driven vs structural components, quantify dealer gamma exposure, and assess convergence timeline)
Platform
CLI agents only (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) — requires Python and yfinance.
Setup
No setup required. The skill auto-installs yfinance if needed.

description: >
Calculate an ETF's premium or discount to NAV from Yahoo Finance data (yfinance),
compare or screen ETFs by premium, explain why a gap exists, and decompose a sudden
ETF move into NAV-driven vs structural components (dealer gamma exposure, blocked AP
arbitrage, sentiment). Use this skill whenever the user asks whether an ETF trades
above or below NAV, compares ETF premiums or discounts, screens for the biggest
ones, asks about ETF arbitrage or premium convergence, or wants to know why an ETF
jumped or diverged from its holdings — including gamma squeezes, dealer gamma
exposure (GEX), and blocked creation/redemption. Especially relevant for leveraged,
inverse, international, bond, commodity, and crypto ETFs (IBIT, BITO, HYG, KWEB).

# ETF Premium/Discount Analysis Skill
Calculates the premium or discount of an ETF's market price relative to its Net Asset Value (NAV) using data from Yahoo Finance via [yfinance](https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance).
**Why this matters:** An ETF's market price can diverge from the value of its underlying holdings (NAV). When you buy at a premium, you're overpaying relative to the assets; at a discount, you're getting a bargain. This divergence is typically small for liquid US equity ETFs but can be significant for bond ETFs, international ETFs, leveraged/inverse products, and crypto ETFs — especially during periods of market stress.
**Important**: For research and educational purposes only. Not financial advice. yfinance is not affiliated with Yahoo, Inc.

## Step 1: Ensure Dependencies Are Available
**Current environment status:**
```
!`python3 -c "exec('try:\n import yfinance, pandas, numpy\n print(f\'yfinance={yfinance.__version__} pandas={pandas.__version__} numpy={numpy.__version__}\')\nexcept Exception:\n print(\'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 a general question about an ETF's premium or discount without specifying a particular analysis type, default to **Sub-Skill A** (Single ETF Snapshot).
| User Request | Route To | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Single ETF premium/discount | **Sub-Skill A: Single ETF Snapshot** | "is SPY at a premium?", "AGG premium to NAV", "BITO premium" |
| Compare multiple ETFs | **Sub-Skill B: Multi-ETF Comparison** | "compare bond ETF discounts", "which has bigger premium IBIT or BITO", "rank these ETFs by premium" |
| Screener / find extreme premiums | **Sub-Skill C: Premium Screener** | "which ETFs have biggest discount", "find ETFs trading below NAV", "premium screener" |
| Deep analysis with context | **Sub-Skill D: Premium Deep Dive** | "why is HYG at a discount", "is ARKK premium normal", "ETF premium analysis with context" |
| Sudden premium surge / gamma squeeze | **Sub-Skill E: Premium Surge Decomposition** | "why did KWEB jump 13% today", "is this ETF rally driven by gamma", "decompose today's ETF move", "dealer GEX for SOXL", "how long until the premium converges" |
### Defaults
| Parameter | Default |
|---|---|
| Data source | yfinance `navPrice` field |
| Price field | `regularMarketPrice` (falls back to `previousClose`) |
| Screener universe | Common ETF list by category (see Sub-Skill C) |

## Sub-Skill A: Single ETF Snapshot
**Goal**: Show the current premium/discount for one ETF with context about what's normal, plus a peer comparison to show how it stacks up against similar ETFs.

Questions
What does the Etf Premium skill do?
A collection of skills for AI financial analysis.
Is Etf Premium safe to install?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.
What can Etf Premium access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
Which assistants does Etf Premium work with?
Its documentation mentions claude-code and codex. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (317cbce031f1), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
