StealIt

Price Alerts. Rings when a price target, a stop or the opening bell hits: above / below / stop rules, percent moves from the previous close, and the NYSE opening bell, each ringing once so you are not spammed. Knows NYSE hours with the 2026 and 2027 holidays and 1:00 p.m. early closes, fetches free delayed quotes (Yahoo chart JSON, Stooq CSV) one ticker at a time, and writes trader/prices.json for the other skills. Use when the user says "alert me when", "tell me if AAPL hits", "set a stop", "price target", "watch my stocks", "is the market open", "when does the market open", "get me prices", or to refresh prices before sizing, risk or tax.

Install

Research and paper-trading tools, not financial advice. Orders go to your broker only after you approve them, and paper trading is the default. Open the repository

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add Jakeschincariol/trader-skill --skill trader-alerts

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use Trader Alerts

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /trader-alerts.

It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
