What this skill can do

Install

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'trader-budget' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'trader-budget' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named trader-budget already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3d0f4ef6986f4984b7c6bd46f7ff4f87744c3abd' -- 'trader-budget' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'trader-budget' ~/.agents/skills/'trader-budget' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'trader-budget' ~/.claude/skills/'trader-budget' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
