What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
backtest
Quick backtest a strategy on a symbol. Creates a complete .py script with data fetch, signals, backtest, stats, and plots.
.claude/skills/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)backtest/ SKILL.md -
optimize
Optimize strategy parameters using VectorBT. Tests parameter combinations and generates heatmaps.
.claude/skills/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)optimize/ SKILL.md -
quick-stats
Quickly fetch data and print key backtest stats for a symbol with a default EMA crossover strategy. No file creation needed - runs inline in a notebook cell or prints to console.
.claude/skills/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)quick-stats/ SKILL.md -
setup
Set up the Python backtesting environment. Detects OS, creates virtual environment, installs dependencies (openalgo, ta-lib, vectorbt, plotly), and creates the backtesting folder structure.
.claude/skills/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)setup/ SKILL.md -
strategy-compare
Compare multiple strategies or directions (long vs short vs both) on the same symbol. Generates side-by-side stats table.
.claude/skills/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)strategy-compare/ SKILL.md -
vectorbt-expert

Use when user asks to backtest strategies, create entry/exit signals, analyze portfolio performance, optimize parameters, fetch historical data, use VectorBT/vectorbt, compare strategies, position sizing, equity curves, drawdown charts, or trade analysis. Also triggers for openalgo.ta helpers (exrem, crossover, crossunder, flip, donchian, supertrend).

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
