alva skillA

alva is agent-read markdown (skill) from alva-ai/skills: Use this skill when the user asks for financial data ("price of BTC", "P/E ratio of NVDA"), market analysis, stock or crypto research, quant strategies, backtesting ("backtest a momentum strategy"), tracking assets or portfolios, Thesis publication, guided Thesis drafting, explicitly requested polishing, or help turning investing ideas into live playbooks, dashboards, and analytics on Alva. Powered by 250+ financial data sources across crypto, equities, macro, on-chain, and social data, along wi.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Exact content
mdr add alva-ai/skills/alva@sha256:2566c716a4fc3cbd
