Place and manage orders on behalf of accounts via the Alpaca Broker API — order creation (qty vs notional, fractional shares, order types/TIF/classes), order status lifecycle, replace/cancel, positions, and trading-account buying power. Use when building trading, recurring-invest, or portfolio flows on Alpaca in any language.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'alpaca-broker-trading-orders' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alpaca-broker-trading-orders' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alpaca-broker-trading-orders already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '0e7c35163ae462730de1f4a0bfafceac82b7d59b' -- 'skills/broker-api/trading-orders' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/broker-api/trading-orders' ~/.agents/skills/'alpaca-broker-trading-orders' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'alpaca-broker-trading-orders' ~/.claude/skills/'alpaca-broker-trading-orders' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
