Description
Create and manage AI-powered trading bots via natural language. Paper & live trading, portfolio monitoring, backtesting, stock quotes, and options chains.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent, but treat any third-party trading API key as sensitive: (1) verify the vendor (vibetrader.markets) and TLS certificate before using your real account; (2) prefer paper mode first and test actions; (3) review how the vendor links broker accounts (Alpaca) and what permissions the API key grants; (4) consider creating a limited-scope key or rotating it after use; and (5) if you have strict security policies, confirm the cloud-run endpoint and privacy/terms on vibetrader.markets/docs before enabling live trading.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vibetrader
Version: 1.0.2
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for VibeTrader is classified as benign. All files consistently describe a skill for managing AI-powered trading bots, requiring a `VIBETRADER_API_KEY` and connecting to a specific external service endpoint (`https://vibetrader-mcp-289016366682.us-central1.run.app`). There is no evidence of malicious prompt injection in `SKILL.md` or `README.md`, nor any attempts at data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or obfuscation. The requested permissions and network access are directly aligned with the stated purpose of interacting with a trading platform.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (AI trading bots) match the declared requirement (VIBETRADER_API_KEY) and the SKILL.md endpoints for bot/portfolio/trading operations. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or system access are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to call a remote REST API and MCP server (both hosted under a Google Cloud Run URL) and to use the VIBETRADER_API_KEY via Authorization header. It also tells users where to set the env var in the OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json). The instructions do not ask the agent to read other local files, secrets, or system state.
Install Mechanism
No install specification or code is included (instruction-only). Nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by an installer in this package.
Credentials
Only a single service-specific API key (VIBETRADER_API_KEY) is required, which is proportionate for a cloud-managed trading service. No other secret or unrelated env vars are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and uses the platform's default autonomous-invocation setting. It does not request elevated or persistent system privileges or attempt to modify other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vibetrader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
