A third-party GitHub repository called claude-trading-skills packages dozens of equity-trading Skills for Claude Code and Claude’s web app. The project has attracted nearly 4,000 stars since launch, reflecting interest in applying Claude to structured research, portfolio review, and trade journaling.
Anthropic’s Skill format bundles instructions, resources, and optional scripts for a bounded task. This project connects those modules through YAML workflow manifests that define execution order, decision gates, and outputs. Claude performs analysis and runs checklists; the user retains responsibility for buy, sell, and position-sizing decisions.
Inside the skill catalog
The catalog separates market analysis, portfolio management, opportunity screening, trade planning, and performance review into inspectable modules.
| Category | Included Skills | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Market Regime | market-breadth-analyzer, uptrend-analyzer, exposure-coach | Assess market participation, trend conditions, and appropriate exposure. |
| Core Portfolio | portfolio-manager, value-dividend-screener | Review long-term holdings and screen for value and dividend characteristics. |
| Swing Opportunities | vcp-screener, canslim-screener, breakout-trade-planner | Find and plan technical swing-trading candidates. |
| Trade Planning | position-sizer, technical-analyst, pre-trade-discipline-gate | Define entries, exits, risk, and position size before a trade. |
| Trade Memory | trader-memory-core, signal-postmortem | Track theses, outcomes, mistakes, and lessons across trades. |
Five workflows connect the modules
YAML workflow manifests turn individual Skills into repeatable routines. Each manifest names the required modules, their sequence, the applicable gates, and the artifacts produced.
