vn-finance-mentor is a Python library for Vietnam/US market data, deterministic research signals, backtesting, and self-hosted paper monitoring. The AI plugin provides Vietnamese market analysis for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, with repository marketplaces for Codex and Claude Code.
Version 0.2.0 adds the self-hosted VN/US market monitor runtime alongside the existing data and strategy APIs.
Ask natural language questions — the plugin auto-routes to the right analysis workflow:
"Analyze FPT stock"
"Market overview today"
"Compare VNM vs MSN"
"Latest news sentiment for HPG"<p align="center"> <a href="https://github.com/hongbietcode/vn-finance-mentor/releases/latest"> <img src="assets/image.png" alt="VN Finance Mentor analyzing HPG stock" width="800" /> </a> <br /> <em>Claude Code analyzing HPG stock — orchestrating fundamental and technical agents in parallel. <a href="https://github.com/hongbietcode/vn-finance-mentor/releases/latest">Download plugin →</a></em> </p>
source="AUTO" with source, attempted_sources, market, fetched_at, data_timestamp, delayed_seconds, and coverage provenanceNO_TRADEThe Python distribution is vn-finance-mentor, the npm installer is vn-finance-mentor-cli, and its executable is vn-finance-mentor. Python code continues to import claude_finance_kit; monitor commands use cfk.
Use Python 3.12 for the verified setup. The package currently declares Python 3.10+, but Python 3.10 has a known import failure involving datetime.UTC.
From the repository root:
python3.12 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .For realtime monitoring, install the extra in the same environment:
python -m pip install -e ".[monitor]"<details> <summary><strong>Install published packages</strong></summary>
To install a published Python release from PyPI:
pip install vn-finance-mentorFor realtime monitoring:
pip install "vn-finance-mentor[monitor]"
cfk monitor init
cfk monitor doctor
cfk monitor run</details>
monitor doctor performs live data, stream-auth/entitlement, and Telegram authentication probes by default. Use --offline only for a local configuration check.
<details> <summary><strong>Codex</strong></summary>
Install through the repository marketplace
From the repository root, register the marketplace with Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add .
codex plugin marketplace listThe Codex marketplace catalog exposes the bundled plugin. Restart the ChatGPT desktop app, open the Plugins Directory, choose the VN Finance Mentor marketplace, and install VN Finance Mentor.
Generate a plugin template in another project
Build the installer from this checkout:
cd cli
npm ci
npm run build
cd ..In the target project, run the built installer using its absolute path:
node /absolute/path/to/vn-finance-mentor/cli/dist/index.js init --ai codex-plugin
codex plugin marketplace add .The Codex plugin template creates .codex/plugins/vn-finance-mentor/ and registers it in .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. Other plugins and marketplace metadata are preserved; an existing vn-finance-mentor entry is replaced. Install VN Finance Mentor from that marketplace in the Plugins Directory.
After npm publication, the installer command is also available as npx vn-finance-mentor-cli init --ai codex-plugin.
Install a standalone skill
Use codex when you want the skill directly in .agents/skills/vn-finance-mentor/:
node /absolute/path/to/vn-finance-mentor/cli/dist/index.js init --ai codexRestart Codex if the skill does not appear immediately, then invoke $vn-finance-mentor or ask a Vietnamese market analysis question naturally.
For uninstall commands and the full CLI reference, see the CLI README.

Once installed, just ask naturally — the plugin auto-invokes the right skill:
"Analyze FPT stock" → vn-finance-mentor (stock deep dive)
"Market overview today" → vn-finance-mentor (market briefing)
"Compare VNM vs MSN" → vn-finance-mentor (comparative)
"Latest news sentiment for HPG" → vn-finance-mentor (news sentiment)To invoke the skill explicitly, use $vn-finance-mentor in Codex or /vn-finance-mentor in Claude Code, followed by your question.

The self-hosted monitor ships in 0.2.0 and is configured with cfk monitor. cfk monitor init creates both monitor.toml and a local .env.example. Populate the secrets for the providers you intend to use before running cfk monitor doctor and cfk monitor run:
SSI_CONSUMER_ID
SSI_CONSUMER_SECRET
DNSE_API_KEY
DNSE_API_SECRET
ALPACA_API_KEY
ALPACA_API_SECRET
FMP_API_KEY
CFK_SEC_USER_AGENT
CFK_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
CFK_TELEGRAM_CHAT_IDAn explicit VN watchlist can fall back to AUTO intraday polling when SSI/DNSE stream credentials are unavailable. The runtime labels that mode degraded, blocks BUY and never treats it as all-market scanning. SSI credentials and ALL entitlement remain mandatory for a full-market VN stream. US can use degraded FMP polling when Alpaca is unavailable, but still requires FMP_API_KEY.
Passing validation is tied to the exact market, regime, benchmark, strategy name, parameter set, source-data fingerprint, and freshness window. Feed timestamps that are stale, out of order, duplicated, or too far in the future block BUY. Outside the configured weekday exchange hours the feed is idle; incoming extended-hours records are quarantined, and holiday calendars are not inferred. SQLite commits signal dedupe, paper state, and the Telegram outbox atomically so a notification failure does not lose the signal or stop the monitor. Completed minute aggregates are restored after a restart; routine HOLD states are not sent as recurring alerts.
The monitor writes a daily HTML report to reports/monitor-YYYY-MM-DD-report.html. The cfk backtest command writes a backtest HTML report to reports/{symbol}-{strategy}-backtest-report.html.

cd cli

npm run build # Build CLI TypeScript
npm run bump -- patch # Bump version (patch|minor|major)npm run bump synchronizes the Python, npm, and plugin versions. The Codex marketplace reads the bundled plugin's manifest version.
The release workflow creates a release when a pull request merges into main, publishes Python/npm packages, and attaches the plugin ZIP. The publish workflow also handles published GitHub releases. Pushing a tag alone does not trigger either workflow.
To publish only the Python package at the version in pyproject.toml, run:
gh workflow run publish.yml --repo hongbietcode/vn-finance-mentor --ref mainPyPI Trusted Publishing must authorize repository hongbietcode/vn-finance-mentor, workflow publish.yml, and environment release. Configure a pending publisher in PyPI account publishing settings before the first release under a new package name. The merge-triggered release workflow uses release.yml and needs its own trusted publisher.
To build the plugin archive locally, run npm run package inside cli/ after building the installer. The output is cli/vn-finance-mentor-<version>.zip and includes both plugin manifests. The repository marketplace catalog is distributed with the repository itself.
