TradingView Reader (Read-Only)

Reads TradingView's desktop macOS app for quotes, options chains, and chart state via opencli and a CDP attach to the running TradingView.app process. Powered by the tradingview plugin in this repo's opencli-plugins/tradingview tree (a separate plugin from opencli's built-in adapters, installed via opencli's monorepo subpath syntax).

This skill is read-only. Designed for analysis: pulling options chains, checking IV/greeks, capturing chart state. It does NOT place trades, post ideas, modify watchlists, or change chart layouts.

Headless alternative: for plain quotes, TA readouts, screeners, futures, or a greeks-free options chain, prefer the sibling tradingview-mcp skill (bundled MCP server, no desktop app, no CDP relaunch). Use this skill when you need greeks / per-strike IV skew, expiries with contract counts, or account-bound data (watchlists, alerts, charts, TV news).

Important: Unlike browser-based opencli readers (twitter, linkedin), this one talks directly to a running TradingView desktop app over Chrome DevTools Protocol. The user must (a) have TradingView.app installed, and (b) be logged in inside that app. The plugin handles relaunching with the debug port.

How it works: data commands read the app's session cookies over CDP and call TradingView's HTTP APIs from Node directly, so no Browser Bridge extension or apps.yaml registration is needed.

Step 1: Ensure opencli + Plugin Are Installed and Ready
