Work safely in the Trading repository for Alpaca helpers, backtesting, journaling, scheduling, and related PowerShell modules. Prefer additive changes, preserve existing trading logic unless the user asks otherwise, and default to paper-trading-safe guidance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Alpaca Trading ## Intent Support safe paper trading, Alpaca automation, broker workflow analysis, and Trading repo changes without increasing live trading risk. ## Do Not Use When - Do not use for financial advice, guaranteed performance claims, live order execution without explicit user instruction, or unrelated trading platforms. - Required context is missing and cannot be reasonably inferred. - A more specific skill in this repo is a better match. Use this skill when the user is working in the `Trading` repository on Alpaca-connected scripts, backtesting workflows, journaling, scheduling, or reusable PowerShell Alpaca modules. ## Trigger When - The user mentions the `Trading` repo, Alpaca scripts, paper trading, backtesting, journaling, scheduler jobs, or Alpaca PowerShell modules. - The task touches `Alpaca/`, `Backtesting/`, `Journal/`, `Scheduler/`, `src/`, `Tests/`, `rsi_macd_bot/`, or `btc-signal-executor/`. - The user wants to build, extend, debug, document, test, or review repo workflows around Alpaca trading. ## Repo Shape The current repository is a mixed Python and PowerShell project with these main areas: ```text Trading/ |-- Alpaca/ |-- Backtesting/ …

How to install
mdr add mickpletcher/ai-skills/alpaca-trading@sha256:2e0c7187ade7f951The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
