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 integrates with Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS) and IB Gateway through ib_insync, exposing operational IBKR workflows through: A unified Python CLI: scripts/ibkr_cli.py A bash CLI wrapper: scripts/ibkr.sh Compatibility alias: scripts/openclaw.sh Backward-compatible script entrypoints: scripts/get_account_info.py scripts/get_historical_data.py scripts/place_order.py
Interactive Brokers account with API permissions. TWS or IB Gateway running with API enabled. Python 3.9+ recommended. ib_insync installed: pip install ib_insync
All CLIs support connection overrides using flags or env vars. Environment variables: IBKR_HOST (default 127.0.0.1) IBKR_PORT (default 7497) IBKR_CLIENT_ID (default 1) IBKR_ACCOUNT (optional) Examples: IBKR_PORT=4002 IBKR_CLIENT_ID=14 ./scripts/ibkr.sh account-summary python3 scripts/ibkr_cli.py positions --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7496 --account DU123456
./scripts/ibkr.sh <command> [args] Supported commands: account (account summary + positions) account-summary positions portfolio pnl quote historical place-order cancel-order open-orders executions contract-details scanner ./scripts/openclaw.sh is an alias to the same CLI surface.

For CASH, default whatToShow is MIDPOINT unless explicitly overridden.

python3 scripts/ibkr_cli.py scanner --instrument STK --location-code STK.US.MAJOR --scan-code TOP_PERC_GAIN --rows 25
Legacy scripts remain supported and now delegate to the unified CLI: get_account_info.py get_historical_data.py (legacy positional mode still works) place_order.py (legacy positional mode still works)
The CLI returns non-zero exit codes for: Import/dependency failures Connection failures Contract qualification failures Invalid arguments Missing open order for cancellation
