Budget Manager. Sizes every position to your budget before anything is bought: keeps a cash buffer, caps any one stock (the excess is shared out to the others), drops slices under your minimum order, rounds so every dollar is used, supports fractional or whole shares, and writes the proposed buy orders to trader/orders.json in the exact shape of Alpaca's place_stock_order (notional as a string). Nothing is placed. Use when the user says "I have $5,000", "size my trades", "how much of each should I buy", "manage my budget", "split my money", "keep 10% in cash", "no stock over 25%", "set my rules", or after /trader-copycat writes targets.

How to use Trader Budget
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-budget.
It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
