Claude Trading Skills is a collection of Claude Code workflows for individual investors who want structured market analysis, charting, economic-calendar review, screening, trade planning, journaling, and risk management. It is designed for people using long-term investing, ETFs, dividend stocks, and disciplined swing trading, and the catalogue entries package these workflows as skills, agents, commands, settings, and instructions.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.12481 | $0.12481 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04992 | $0.04992 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02496 | $0.02496 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01248 | $0.01248 |
Grade C, and why
claude-trading-skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Repository Purpose
This repository contains Claude Skills for equity investors and traders. Each skill packages domain-specific prompts, knowledge bases, and helper scripts to assist with market analysis, technical charting, economic calendar monitoring, and trading strategy development. Skills are designed to work in both Claude's web app and Claude Code environments.
⚠️ Important: Some skills require paid API subscriptions (FMP API and/or FINVIZ Elite) to function. See the API Key Management section for detailed requirements by skill.
Repository Architecture
Skill Structure
Each skill follows a standardized directory structure:
<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md # Required: Skill definition with YAML frontmatter
├── references/ # Knowledge bases loaded into Claude's context
├── scripts/ # Executable Python scripts (not auto-loaded)
└── assets/ # Templates and resources for output generation
SKILL.md Format:
- YAML frontmatter with
nameanddescriptionfields namemust match the directory name for proper skill detection- Description defines when the skill should be triggered
- Body contains workflow instructions written in imperative/infinitive form
- All instructions assume Claude will execute them, not the user
Progressive Loading:
- Metadata (YAML frontmatter) loads first for skill detection
- SKILL.md body loads when skill is invoked
- References load conditionally based on analysis needs
- Scripts execute on demand, never auto-loaded into context
Key Design Patterns
Knowledge Base Organization:
references/contains markdown files with domain knowledge (sector rotation patterns, technical analysis frameworks, news source credibility guides)- Knowledge bases provide context without requiring Claude to have specialized training
- References are read selectively during skill execution to minimize token usage
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

claude-trading-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tradermonty/claude-trading-skills (3,373 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 12,481 tokens to every session, about $0.0499 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
