Automate your first stock trade on paper
For investors new to automation: Claude turns your idea into one clear rule, then runs it as a paper-only moving-average bot on Alpaca. You get a guided setup, a check that sends nothing, one confirmed paper order at a time, and a decision journal to review. It can never place real-money orders. Not financial advice.

How this works
- It is a skill: written instructions Claude reads when your request matches what the skill is for. You do not call it by name; just ask for the task.
- While it works, it reads and changes files in the places it lists, nowhere else.
- It runs these commands on your computer: node scripts/bot.mjs, node scripts/selftest.mjs.
- It talks to paper-api.alpaca.markets, data.alpaca.markets over the internet.
- It needs settings from you before it runs: ALPACA_API_KEY_ID, ALPACA_API_SECRET_KEY, ALPACA_LIVE. Values stay on your computer.
- Nothing runs until you choose to use it, and you can remove it any time.
What it can access
What this kit declares, in the same words the CLI shows before you install. On Claude Code the CLI turns these into permission rules, so the agent stops anything undeclared.
Command
Runs the command: node scripts/bot.mjs (with any arguments, without asking)
