Install the Claude Trading Skills skill
A community skill: it installs from its own repository and your agent runs the project's instructions locally with your own model. SkillGild lists it and credits the author; nothing runs on SkillGild.
With the SkillGild CLI (needs git). It clones tradermonty/claude-trading-skills and copies the skill folder into the right place for your agent; use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.
Copy the skill folders into ~/.claude/skills/ (or upload the .skill files to Claude.ai Settings > Skills)
Or copy the folder yourself from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills into ~/.claude/skills/claude-trading-skills/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor or ~/.gemini/skills/ for Gemini CLI, then start a new session.

Questions
How do I install the Claude Trading Skills skill in Claude Code?
Run skillgild install claude-trading-skills --agent claude-code: the SkillGild CLI clones tradermonty/claude-trading-skills and copies the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/claude-trading-skills. You can also use the project's own commands shown above, or copy the folder yourself. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.
Is Claude Trading Skills free and open source?
Yes. The upstream repository is published under the MIT license by tradermonty. SkillGild lists and credits it and installs it from source; it does not host or run it.
Which agents does Claude Trading Skills work with?
The project lists Claude Code, Claude.ai. It is a plain Agent Skills folder (SKILL.md plus supporting files), so any client that reads that format can load it.
Does Claude Trading Skills run on SkillGild?
No. Claude Trading Skills is a community skill: your agent runs its instructions locally with your own model, and SkillGild lists, credits and installs it. Hosted SkillGild skills are marked differently and run through the SkillGild MCP server.
What does Claude Trading Skills need to work?
Optional Financial Modeling Prep, FINVIZ Elite and Alpaca keys. Everything else is the usual: a coding agent that loads skills and the folder installed where that agent looks for it.
