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.

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 | $0.00053 | $0.01479 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00740 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00296 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00148 |
Grade A, and why
pre-trade-discipline-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 9d 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pre-Trade Discipline Gate
Overview
Evaluate whether a planned manual order should proceed before it is placed at the broker. This skill reads a local checklist plus optional market-regime, circuit-breaker, and trader-memory-core artifacts. It produces a pre_trade_discipline_decision artifact and can link that artifact back to the related thesis without changing the thesis review schedule.
The gate is intentionally offline. It does not place orders, cancel orders, call a broker API, or fetch market data.
When to Use
- Immediately before placing any manual entry order
- When a candidate has passed chart validation and position sizing
- After a recent loss, to avoid revenge trades during the cooldown window
- When the workflow has an upstream
exposure_decisionandcircuit_breaker_decision - When you want checklist adherence to be visible in later trader-memory-core reviews
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+
- A local JSON or YAML answers file with candidate-level checklist answers
- Optional trader-memory-core thesis state under
state/theses/ - Optional
exposure_decisionJSON from market-regime-daily / exposure-coach - Optional
circuit_breaker_decisionJSON from drawdown-circuit-breaker
Workflow
Step 1: Prepare the Checklist
Create a JSON or YAML file with candidate answers. Only actionable manual-order intents are gated. Watchlist and ignore intents are journaled as NO_ACTIONABLE_ORDERS.
{
"candidates": [
{
"symbol": "AAPL",
"thesis_id": "th_aapl_gm_20260703_0001",
"order_intent": "ENTRY_READY",
"entry_in_written_plan": true,
"stop_predefined": true,
"size_within_plan": true,
"planned_risk_dollars": 500,
"actual_risk_dollars": 500,
"notes": "Entry matches the journaled breakout plan."
}
]
}
Actionable intents are ENTRY_READY, ACTIONABLE, ACTIONABLE_DAY1, and MANUAL_ORDER. Non-actionable intents such as WATCHLIST, DELAYED_EP_WATCH, PEAD_HANDOFF, IGNORE, and REJECTED are recorded but do not create an order permission.
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

pre-trade-discipline-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository tradermonty/claude-trading-skills (2,813 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,479 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
