alpacalyzer-algo-trader: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/pydantic-model/SKILL.md

pydantic-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kimrejstrom/alpacalyzer-algo-trader. It costs 33 tokens per session (805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project-specific instructions for creating Pydantic data models, configuration objects, and event types. Pydantic is a Python library that checks and converts structured data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding trading data models, strategy configuration, event types, execution state, or agent response models in the specified project.
Why use it?
It keeps new models consistent with the project’s existing patterns and adds checks for unreliable input, including responses from language models.

This is kimrejstrom/alpacalyzer-algo-trader's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on alpacalyzer-algo-trader itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pydantic-model scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Scope Constraint

Model Purpose Location
Trading data (signals, positions) src/alpacalyzer/data/models.py
Strategy configuration src/alpacalyzer/strategies/config.py
Event types (logging) src/alpacalyzer/events/models.py
Execution state src/alpacalyzer/execution/state.py
Agent responses src/alpacalyzer/data/models.py

Steps

1. Study existing models

Read src/alpacalyzer/data/models.py for the established patterns. Also check src/alpacalyzer/strategies/config.py and src/alpacalyzer/events/models.py.

Key patterns: Pydantic v2 syntax (model_dump(), ConfigDict, field_validator with @classmethod), Field() with descriptions for GPT guidance, validators for business logic.

LLM output resilience

Models that receive LLM output need extra hardening because LLMs frequently return wrong types, missing fields, or invented enum values. Patterns used in TradingStrategy:

  • Defaults for commonly-omitted fields: quantity: int = 0, entry_point: float = 0.0, strategy_notes: str = ""
  • Type coercion validators: field_validator("risk_reward_ratio", mode="before") parses "1:1.47"1.47
  • Flexible input types: entry_criteria: list[EntryCriteria | str] accepts both structured dicts and plain strings
  • Enum normalization: EntryCriteria.entry_type validator maps near-miss values like "price_above_ma50""above_ma50"
  • Default collections: entry_criteria: list[...] = Field(default_factory=list) instead of required list

2. Create model

Follow these conventions:

  • Inherit from pydantic.BaseModel
  • Use Field(description=...) for all fields (helps GPT structured output)
  • Add @field_validator for business constraints (e.g., stop_loss_pct < target_pct)
  • Add @model_validator(mode='after') for cross-field validation
  • Use Literal for constrained string choices

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.

pydantic-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository kimrejstrom/alpacalyzer-algo-trader (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 805 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
