Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/financial-services-plugins at 574ed3624a.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The fx-carry-trade skill allows AI agents to analyze and execute foreign exchange carry trade strategies. It can identify currency pairs with interest rate differentials, calculate potential profits based on current rates and historical data, and simulate trade execution. This skill aims to automate a complex financial strategy typically requiring significant manual analysis.

When to use it

  • Portfolio Diversification: Explore potential investment opportunities beyond traditional asset classes by leveraging carry trades.
  • Automated Trading Strategy Backtesting: Quickly test the viability of different carry trade strategies under various market conditions.
  • Financial Research & Analysis: Gain insights into currency relationships and interest rate impacts on foreign exchange markets.
  • Educational Purposes: Understand the mechanics and risks associated with FX carry trades in a simulated environment.

Key capabilities

  • Interest Rate Differential Calculation
  • Carry Trade Profit Simulation
  • Historical Data Analysis (implied)
  • Currency Pair Identification

Example prompts

  • "Analyze potential carry trade opportunities between USD and JPY."
  • "Simulate a EUR/CHF carry trade for the next 3 months, assuming current interest rates remain constant."
  • "What are the historical performance trends of AUD/NZD carry trades?"

Tips & gotchas

The accuracy of simulations depends on the quality of underlying data and assumptions. This skill is intended for informational and educational purposes; actual trading carries significant financial risk.
