/install sim-trading-mvp
Description
Run a paper-trading / simulated investing workflow with explicit style selection, fixed risk rules, three decision windows per trading day, optional cron set...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: run a disciplined paper-trading loop, keep account and trade logs, and optionally schedule decision jobs. Before installing or enabling automation: 1) Confirm the filesystem paths (account.json, trades.jsonl) so the agent doesn't read/write unexpected locations. 2) Review and approve any cron commands the skill would add — don't allow automatic scheduling without your consent. 3) Keep your Finnhub (or other market-data) API key in your local runtime (.env or secret store); do not put it into the skill files or public repos. 4) Inspect the included script (update_account.py) — it's small and benign; run it manually first if you want. 5) If you don't want the agent to act autonomously on a schedule, avoid adding the cron jobs or restrict the skill's invocation. If you want more assurance, run the skill in an isolated session or workspace and verify the created files and cron entries match your expectations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sim-trading-mvp
Version: 0.2.1
The skill implements a comprehensive paper-trading simulator with clear instructions for the AI agent to maintain a model portfolio. It includes a Python script (scripts/update_account.py) for calculating account equity and return percentages, and provides templates for cron-based automation (references/cron-setup.md) and reporting. The instructions in SKILL.md emphasize data integrity, explicitly forbid the fabrication of market data, and provide sound security advice regarding the handling of API keys (e.g., using .env files instead of hardcoding). All high-risk capabilities, such as file I/O and scheduled tasks, are directly aligned with the stated purpose of a persistent, automated trading simulation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the actual behavior: a stateful simulated trading workflow that reads/writes project files, logs decisions, optionally schedules cron jobs, and uses a market-data API (Finnhub) as a recommended source. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or surprising installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to read/write account.json and trades.jsonl, consult market data (recommended Finnhub), and optionally create/inspect cron jobs. Those actions are in-scope for a persistent sim-trader, but they do grant filesystem and scheduling access — the user should confirm project paths and cron changes before enabling automation.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only with one small Python utility (update_account.py) included. Low disk footprint and no remote downloads or extracted archives.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars, but recommends (and implicitly expects) a local API key for Finnhub kept in a project .env or other local runtime config. This implicit dependency is reasonable, but users should avoid placing keys in public skill files and ensure keys live only in their runtime environment.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not force persistent inclusion (always:false) and has no install step, but its cron guidance shows how it can be scheduled to run autonomously. Autonomous scheduling is reasonable for the use case, but the user must explicitly confirm automation to avoid unintended recurring runs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sim-trading-mvp - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sim-trading-mvp - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
