Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill enables programmatic access to Alpaca Markets for automated trading, portfolio management, and market data retrieval via their REST API. It supports both live and paper trading accounts for stocks, options, and crypto.
To use the Alpaca API, you need an API key and secret. Obtain these from your Alpaca account dashboard. Paper trading: https://paper-api.alpaca.markets Live trading: https://api.alpaca.markets Set environment variables: ALPACA_API_KEY ALPACA_API_SECRET ALPACA_BASE_URL (optional; defaults to paper trading URL)
Use paper trading credentials by default. Do not use live trading credentials until you have audited the code path you plan to run. Keep ALPACA_BASE_URL unset unless you intentionally need a non-default environment. Consider running the helper scripts in an isolated container or VM during evaluation.
Place a stock or crypto order: POST /v2/orders Fetch account balance: GET /v2/account Get positions (stocks/options/crypto): GET /v2/positions List orders: GET /v2/orders
Get Account: GET /v2/account Place Order: POST /v2/orders (stocks, options, crypto) List Orders: GET /v2/orders Get Order: GET /v2/orders/{order_id} Replace Order: PATCH /v2/orders/{order_id} Cancel Order: DELETE /v2/orders/{order_id} Cancel All Orders: DELETE /v2/orders Get Positions: GET /v2/positions Close Position: DELETE /v2/positions/{symbol} Close All Positions: DELETE /v2/positions Get Assets: GET /v2/assets
Use Alpaca Market Data API endpoints for crypto quotes and bars (see references/api_reference.md).
