Skills for cTrader CLI¶

Skills help your AI agent understand how to work with cTrader CLI. They are published in the cTrader skills GitHub repository.

Note

Skills add instructions and reference files for the agent to read. They do not replace cTrader CLI setup.

Install skills¶

Open Windows PowerShell, or a terminal on macOS or Linux, and run:

npx skills add spotware/ctrader-skills --agent '*' --skill ctrader-cli --yes --global

List the globally installed skills:
```
npx skills ls -g
```
Confirm that ctrader-cli appears in the output. The installer writes to disk, so if your agent is already running, restart it so that it can load the new skills.
To check that the agent is using the skills, ask it to report your cTrader CLI version. The agent should run a read-only command:
```
ctrader-cli --version
```

Warning

Never use a trading command as your first test. Start with read-only commands such as --version, accounts or symbols.

To update the installed skills later, run:

npx skills update ctrader-cli -g -y

If your agent is already running, restart it afterwards so that it reads the updated skills.

Note

Confirm any unfamiliar command against the CLI references before you run it.

Skills improve how reliably an agent drives cTrader CLI, but they do not remove your responsibility for what runs against your account.

Warning

An AI agent can produce and execute commands that place, modify or close real trades.
