What it does

Options Pricing is an agent skill from agiprolabs/claude-trading-skills. [STUB] Options pricing models including Black-Scholes, binomial trees, Monte Carlo, implied volatility surfaces, and Greeks for crypto options

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/planned_features.md` and `scripts/black_scholes.py`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Pricing strategy. The repository describes itself as: 68 trading, DeFi, and quantitative finance Agent Skills. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other tools. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pricing strategy

Example prompts

  • “/options-pricing”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Implement binomial tree pricing for American-style options
  2. Add Monte Carlo simulation for exotic payoffs
  3. Build IV surface construction from market quotes
  4. Integrate Deribit API for live options chain data
  5. Add portfolio Greeks aggregation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 981e1d7. 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:

    • uv
    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Options Pricing loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 512 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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.

[STUB] Options pricing models including Black-Scholes, binomial trees, Monte Carlo, implied volatility surfaces, and Greeks for crypto options

Options Pricing

Status: STUB — This skill provides a basic Black-Scholes implementation and an overview of planned capabilities. Full implementation is awaiting community contribution.

Options pricing is the quantitative foundation of derivatives trading. For crypto markets, options on BTC and ETH trade actively on Deribit, Lyra, and Aevo, while Solana options are emerging on platforms like Zeta Markets and PsyOptions. Understanding pricing models, implied volatility surfaces, and Greeks is essential for hedging, volatility trading, and constructing structured products.

This skill is informational and analytical only. It does not provide financial advice or trading recommendations.


Current Capabilities

This stub includes a working Black-Scholes calculator with Greeks computation and a basic implied volatility solver. See scripts/black_scholes.py for the implementation.

python
import math
from scipy.stats import norm

def black_scholes_call(S: float, K: float, T: float, r: float, sigma: float) -> float:
    """Price a European call option using Black-Scholes.

    Args:
        S: Current underlying price.
        K: Strike price.
        T: Time to expiration in years.
        r: Risk-free rate (annualized).
        sigma: Volatility (annualized).

    Returns:
        Theoretical call option price.
    """
    d1 = (math.log(S / K) + (r + 0.5 * sigma**2) * T) / (sigma * math.sqrt(T))
    d2 = d1 - sigma * math.sqrt(T)
    return S * norm.cdf(d1) - K * math.exp(-r * T) * norm.cdf(d2)

Run the demo:

bash
python scripts/black_scholes.py --demo

The included scripts/black_scholes.py uses only the Python standard library (math module) and runs without any dependencies.


Use Cases

Show full SKILL.md (209 more words)Show less
Hedging

Compute delta-neutral hedge ratios for crypto spot positions using options. Calculate the number of put contracts needed to protect a portfolio against downside moves.

Volatility Trading

Compare implied volatility to realized volatility to identify over/underpriced options. When IV significantly exceeds realized vol, selling premium may be favorable (and vice versa).

Structured Products

Price structured products that combine options at different strikes and expirations. Analyze payoff profiles and breakeven points before execution.

Risk Assessment

Use Greeks to understand portfolio-level exposure to price moves (delta), acceleration (gamma), time decay (theta), and volatility changes (vega).


Quick Reference: Black-Scholes Formulas

Call price:

C = S * N(d1) - K * e^(-rT) * N(d2)

Put price:

P = K * e^(-rT) * N(-d2) - S * N(-d1)

Where:

d1 = [ln(S/K) + (r + σ²/2) * T] / (σ * √T)
d2 = d1 - σ * √T

Put-call parity:

C - P = S - K * e^(-rT)

What does Options Pricing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Options Pricing needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (uv and python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Options Pricing access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Options Pricing safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Options Pricing use?

Options Pricing is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Options Pricing use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
