Quick Install

Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mahmoud20138/Tradecraft.git
/plugin install tradecraft@tradecraft

The full HTTPS URL is recommended because the owner/repo shorthand can resolve to SSH on some machines and fail if GitHub isn't in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. See INSTALL.md for the full setup.

Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The default free data path is cross-platform (yfinance, no credentials). The optional MT5 upgrade path is Windows-only (MetaQuotes ships the MetaTrader5 Python package for Windows only). See the platform support matrix for details.

For live market data on the fetch-quotes / analyze-* combination skills (free path, no account, no API key):

pip install -r "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/requirements.txt"

The 5 entry points

Start here. These five commands cover the full collection:

Command	What it does
/tradecraft:analyze <SYMBOL>	One-shot deep analysis for any ticker — regime, structure, entry, SL/TP, JSON plan
/tradecraft:search [keyword]	Find the right specialist skill by keyword; no arg shows the 5-entry-point menu
/tradecraft:markets [watchlist]	Live watchlist snapshot (last, H4 bias, ATR, session) via free yfinance path
/tradecraft:recommendations [watchlist] [N]	Top N ranked trade setups across the watchlist right now
/tradecraft:strategies [name] [symbol]	Strategy selector and deep-dive (ICT, SMC, breakout, scalp, swing, trend)

Examples

/tradecraft:analyze XAUUSD                             # one-shot gold analysis
/tradecraft:search risk sizing                         # find skills matching "risk sizing"
/tradecraft:markets                                    # scan default watchlist
/tradecraft:recommendations XAUUSD,US30,EURUSD 3       # top 3 setups from those 3 symbols
/tradecraft:strategies ict XAUUSD                      # ICT deep-dive tuned for gold

Power users: direct skill invocation

All 169 skills are still directly invokable as /tradecraft:<skill-name> — the 5 entry points are an ergonomic layer, nothing is hidden. See the full list in COMMANDS.md, grouped by domain with per-skill descriptions.

Each skill is also model-invocable — Claude will auto-select the right one based on your task context. Run /help to browse under the tradecraft: namespace. Full step-by-step setup (including optional MT5 for broker-exact prices) is in INSTALL.md.
