algorithmic-trading — Claude Code skill: trading systems, backtests
A skill for building trading systems: strategy development, backtesting, execution algorithms and market microstructure.
npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill algorithmic-trading -a claude-codeWhat algorithmic-trading does
The skill kicks in when you write a trading system, backtest a strategy, or dig into why order execution misbehaves. It grounds every answer in three reference files and treats them as the source of truth for the domain.
For creation, the agent consults references/patterns.md, which dictates how things should be built — generic approaches get dropped when a specific pattern exists there. For diagnosis it reads references/sharp_edges.md, a list of critical failures and why they happen, so it can explain the risk to you. For review it uses references/validations.md, the strict rules it validates your inputs against. If your request conflicts with those files, the skill corrects you and points at the reference.
Worth installing if you already work with trading logic and want the agent to follow fixed patterns instead of inventing them. The three reference files are the content here — without them in your project there is nothing for the skill to lean on.
What it helps with
- scaffold a trading strategy from an existing pattern
- run a backtest and find where it lies
- trace why an order execution failed
- validate strategy inputs against strict rules
- assess risk before pushing a system to production
Example prompts for the agent
- Help me design a trading strategy — start from
references/patterns.md - My backtest keeps failing, walk through
references/sharp_edges.mdand tell me what breaks - Check my strategy parameters against
references/validations.md

Questions about algorithmic-trading
How do I install algorithmic-trading in Claude Code?
Run npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill algorithmic-trading -a claude-code. The skill file then lands at ~/.claude/skills/algorithmic-trading/SKILL.md.
What does algorithmic-trading do?
It helps you build trading systems, backtest strategies, implement execution algorithms and analyze market microstructure. Answers come from the skill's reference files rather than generic advice.
What does the skill need to work?
Three files: references/patterns.md, references/sharp_edges.md and references/validations.md. They are the source of truth for the domain, and the skill points to them for creation, diagnosis and review.
