What it does

Mmr Skill is an agent skill from 9600dev/mmr. Operate the MMR algorithmic trading platform on Interactive Brokers. Trade stocks and options, manage portfolios, scan for ideas, create trade proposals with auto position sizing, manage universes, download historical data, analyze options chains, and control strategies. All operations are available via async Python helper methods.

Its SKILL.md is about 18k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/DATA.md`, `references/STRATEGIES.md` and `references/SWEEPS.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting and Proposals and quotes. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Python based algorithmic trading platform for Interactive Brokers.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting
  • Tasks that involve Proposals and quotes

Example prompts

  • “/mmr-skill”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker
  • A credential in MMR_APPROVER_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. MMRHelpers.propose(symbol, action, ...) — creates a reviewable plan
  2. Inspect sizing_result, portfolio_risk, related proposals
  3. MMRHelpers.approve(proposal_id) — executes after review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ac9b3d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • ft.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MMR_APPROVER_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mmr Skill loads about 18k tokens when it runs, and up to ~27k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,774 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~18k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~27k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,774 words (~18,059 tokens).

“LLMVM: Use ... blocks to call MMRHelpers methods. All methods are async. Most return JSON dicts (access data via result["data"]). Trading actions (buy, sell, cancel) return strings.”
