What it does

Indicator Catalog is an agent skill from facioquo/stock-indicators-dotnet. Write {Name}.Catalog.cs listings with CatalogListingBuilder — parameters, results, chart panes, isRequired and isReusable rules — register them in Catalog.Listings.cs, refresh the catalog shape snapshot, and write {Name}CatalogTests. Use when creating or editing a src/Indicators//{Name}.Catalog.cs file, adding or renaming an indicator parameter or result property, editing src/Common/Catalog/Catalog.Listings.cs, or when a test under tests/Library/Common/Catalog/ fails.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: Stock Indicators for .NET is a C NuGet package that transforms raw equity, commodity, forex, or cryptocurrency financial market price quotes into technical indicators and trading… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing a src/Indicators//{Name}.Catalog.cs file
  • Renaming an indicator parameter
  • Result property
  • Editing src/Common/Catalog/Catalog.Listings.cs

Example prompts

  • “/indicator-catalog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e439ae4. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Indicator Catalog loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 591 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Write `{Name}.Catalog.cs` listings with `CatalogListingBuilder` — parameters, results, chart panes, `isRequired` and `isReusable` rules — register them in `Catalog.Listings.cs`, refresh the catalog shape snapshot, and write `{Name}CatalogTests`. Use when creating or editing a `src/Indicators/**/{Name}.Catalog.cs` file, adding or renaming an indicator parameter or result property, editing `src/Common/Catalog/Catalog.Listings.cs`, or when a test under `tests/Library/Common/Catalog/` fails.

Indicator catalog development

The catalog drives automated execution, code generation, and charting, so every listing must bind to a real method, parameter, and result property. The tests in tests/Library/Common/Catalog/ enforce most rules below across every listing.

Listing file

src/Indicators/{folder}/{Name}/{Name}.Catalog.cs declares one CommonListing and one listing per supported style. src/Indicators/e-j/Ema/Ema.Catalog.cs is the reference:

csharp
public static partial class Ema
{
    internal static readonly IndicatorListing CommonListing =
        new CatalogListingBuilder()
            .WithName("Exponential Moving Average")
            .WithId("EMA")
            .WithCategory(Category.MovingAverage)
            .AddParameter<int>("lookbackPeriods", "Lookback Period", description: "Number of periods for the EMA calculation", isRequired: true, defaultValue: 20, minimum: 2, maximum: 250)
            .AddResult(nameof(EmaResult.Ema), "EMA", IndicatorResult.PricePane, ResultType.Default, isReusable: true)
            .Build();

    internal static readonly IndicatorListing SeriesListing =
        new CatalogListingBuilder(CommonListing)
            .WithStyle(Style.Series)
            .WithMethodName("ToEma")
            .Build();

    // BufferListing: Style.Buffer + "ToEmaList"; StreamListing: Style.Stream + "ToEmaHub"
}
  • Set .WithMethodName() only on style listings: To{Name} for Series, To{Name}List for Buffer, To{Name}Hub for Stream.
  • Build() derives ResultRecordType from the method name, so a method of the wrong style reports the wrong result shape.
  • WithId sets the UIID that names the regression baseline file ({uiid-lowercase}.standard.json) and the Catalog.Get(id, style) lookup.
  • Pick the Category an existing peer uses; MACD, Ichimoku, and Pivot Points are PriceTrend, and Beta and ATR are PriceCharacteristic.

Parameters

Builder methodParameter type
AddParameter<T>()int, double, decimal, and other primitive values; always pass minimum and maximum
AddEnumParameter<T>()Enums
AddDateParameter()DateTime
AddSeriesParameter()An IReadOnlyList<IReusable> input, such as the comparison series of Beta, Correlation, and PRS
  • parameterName matches the method's parameter name exactly; a mismatch makes a catalog-bound caller silently receive the default instead of the supplied value.
  • Declare parameters as an unbroken run in signature order. ListingExecutor binds them positionally and picks an overload by argument count.
  • Set isRequired: false exactly when the C# signature gives the parameter a default, and set defaultValue equal to that C# default.
  • When omitting the argument instead selects a shorter overload, use isRequired: false only if the listing declares no defaultValue (VWAP startDate). If the shorter overload behaves differently from the advertised default (ToPrs(sourceEval, sourceBase) computes no PrsPercent), use isRequired: true; callers reach the shorter form with WithoutParam(name) at execution time.

Results

AddResult(dataName, displayName, chartPane, dataType, isReusable):

  • dataName is nameof(TResult.Property), never a string literal, so a renamed property fails the build. displayName is a literal human label.
  • chartPane is IndicatorResult.PricePane for a value at price level, a shared pane name (conventionally the indicator name, such as "Macd") for results with common non-price units, and null for a non-numeric result such as a pattern match.
  • isReusable: true marks exactly one result on an IReusable model, the property that Value returns. An ISeries model marks none. Build() throws when more than one is marked.
  • ResultType sets the chart form: Default, Centerline, Channel, Bar, BarStacked, or Point.

Registration and shape snapshot

Register each listing inside PopulateCatalog() in src/Common/Catalog/Catalog.Listings.cs. Blocks sort alphabetically by indicator ID, are separated by a blank line, and open with a // {ID} ({Full Name}) comment, or // {Full Name} when no abbreviation is conventional. Within a block the order is Buffer, Series, Stream:

csharp
// EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
_listings.Add(Ema.BufferListing);
_listings.Add(Ema.SeriesListing);
_listings.Add(Ema.StreamListing);

// Beta
_listings.Add(Beta.SeriesListing);

Adding or changing a parameter or result changes tests/Library/TestData/catalog/shape.snapshot.txt. Regenerate it, review the diff, then rerun the test without the variable to confirm it passes; the regeneration run reports Inconclusive:

bash
UPDATE_CATALOG_SHAPE=1 dotnet test tests/Library/Tests.Indicators.csproj --filter CatalogShapeMatchesSnapshot

Tests

tests/Library/Indicators/{folder}/{Name}/{Name}CatalogTests.cs declares public class {Name}CatalogTests : TestBase in namespace Catalogging, with one {Name}{Style}_InCatalog_ReturnsAllVariants() method per style asserting Name, Uiid, Style, Category, MethodName, and the parameter and result counts. tests/Library/Indicators/t-z/Wma/WmaCatalogTests.cs is a minimal example.

The catalog-wide tests verify method binding per style, dataName and parameterName resolution, parameter order, isRequired and default agreement with the C# signature, chart panes, and the shape snapshot. They do not check names, categories, or value ranges, so keep the per-indicator test.

Do not do these

  • Do not call .WithMethodName() on CommonListing.
  • Do not write a dataName as a string literal where nameof can reach the member.
  • Do not mark isReusable: true on an ISeries model or on more than one result.
  • Do not set isRequired: false with a defaultValue the C# signature does not apply when the argument is omitted.
  • Do not hand-edit shape.snapshot.txt; regenerate it.
