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.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00069 | $0.02296 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00918 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00459 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00230 |
Grade A, and why
contrarian-setup-gate 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Contrarian Setup Gate
Overview
Synthesize the outputs of Jason Shapiro's 3-step contrarian process into one actionable state. cot-contrarian-detector (step 1) flags crowded positioning, news-reaction-failure-analyzer (step 2) tests whether the market failed to react to news favorable to the crowd, and technical-analyst's contrarian-confirmation mode (step 3) confirms weekly price-action evidence of a reversal. This gate reads those three report JSONs and applies an explicit, exhaustively-tested precedence rule set to produce one setup_status, with a fail-closed reason attached to every input that could not be confirmed.
The gate does no fetching, no API calls, and no computation beyond validating and combining the three inputs it is given. It is the pipeline's synthesis center, not a data source.
When to Use
- After running cot-contrarian-detector (always required -- this is the pipeline's entry point)
- Mid-pipeline, with only the detector report, to see the CROWDED state and what steps remain
- After running news-reaction-failure-analyzer, to see whether the setup advances to WATCHING_PRICE or is REJECTED
- After running technical-analyst's contrarian-confirmation mode, to see whether the setup reaches READY_FOR_PLAN
- Before handing a symbol's direction and stop level to a position-sizing skill
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+
- No API keys -- this skill is fully offline
- A cot-contrarian-detector JSON report for the symbol under evaluation (required)
- Optionally, a news-reaction-failure-analyzer JSON report for the same symbol (step 2)
- Optionally, a technical-analyst contrarian-confirmation JSON report for the same symbol (step 3)

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.

contrarian-setup-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository tradermonty/claude-trading-skills (3,373 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 2,296 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
