What it does

Capitoltrades CLI is an agent skill from ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB. Queries US congressional stock trades (STOCK Act disclosures) on capitoltrades.com via the cli-web-capitoltrades command-line tool — trades with rich filters, politician profiles and leaderboards, issuer lookup with price history, plus insight articles, buzz, and press. Use when the user asks about congress trades, politician stock trades, STOCK Act disclosures, Capitol Trades, insider trading by politicians, or which stocks members of Congress are buying or selling. Prefer this CLI over fetching the Capitol…

Its SKILL.md is about 970 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: Claude Code plugin that generates production-grade Python CLIs for any web app. 20 CLIs and counting. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about congress trades
  • Politician stock trades
  • STOCK Act disclosures
  • Insider trading by politicians

Example prompts

  • “Use the capitoltrades-cli skill to query US congressional stock trades (STOCK Act disclosures) on capitoltrades.com via the cli-web-capitoltrades…”
  • “/capitoltrades-cli”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931e201. 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:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, 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

Capitoltrades CLI loads about 971 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~971

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.

Queries US congressional stock trades (STOCK Act disclosures) on capitoltrades.com via the cli-web-capitoltrades command-line tool — trades with rich filters, politician profiles and leaderboards, issuer lookup with price history, plus insight articles, buzz, and press. Use when the user asks about congress trades, politician stock trades, STOCK Act disclosures, Capitol Trades, insider trading by politicians, or which stocks members of Congress are buying or selling. Prefer this CLI over fetching the Capitol Trades website. No authentication required.

cli-web-capitoltrades

Query Capitol Trades — US congressional stock-trade disclosures (read-only, no auth, CloudFront bypass built in). Install: pip install cli-web-capitoltrades

Commands

CommandPurposeKey options
trades listBrowse/filter trades--politician ID, --issuer ID, --party, --chamber, --tx-type buy|sell|exchange, --sector, --size, --sort traded|pubdate|filedafter|tradesize, --sort-direction, --page, --page-size

politicians listPoliticians tracked on the site--party, --chamber, --state CA, --page, --page-size
politicians topLeaderboard by trade count or volume--by trades|volume, --party, --chamber, --page-size
politicians get POLITICIAN_IDProfile by bioguide ID (e.g. Y000067)
issuers listList issuers (companies, bonds, funds)--sector, --page, --page-size
issuers search QUERYSearch issuers; returns price history, stats, sector--full (full price history)
issuers get ISSUER_IDIssuer detail by internal ID (e.g. 435544)
articles list / articles get SLUGCapitol Trades insight articles--page, --page-size
buzz list / buzz get SLUGCurated stock-market news snippets--page, --page-size
press list / press get SLUGPress coverage about Capitol Trades--page, --page-size

ID conventions: politicians use bioguide IDs (Y000067), issuers use internal numeric IDs (435544) — issuers search and trades by-ticker resolve tickers for you.

Examples

bash
# Latest congressional trades
cli-web-capitoltrades --json trades list --page-size 25

# Who's trading NVDA? Buys only, by Democrats
cli-web-capitoltrades --json trades by-ticker NVDA --tx-type buy --party democrat

# Most active senators by traded volume
cli-web-capitoltrades --json politicians top --by volume --chamber senate

# All trades by a specific politician (bioguide ID from politicians list/top)
cli-web-capitoltrades --json trades list --politician P000197 --sort traded

# Issuer lookup with price history and stats
cli-web-capitoltrades --json issuers search "Apple" --full

JSON output

--json is a top-level flag and goes before the command group: cli-web-capitoltrades --json trades list (not after the subcommand). Success responses are {"success": true, "data": ...}; errors are {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}.

Utilities

cli-web-capitoltrades doctor [--json] self-diagnoses the local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-capitoltrades mcp-serve serves the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

  • --size brackets for trade value: <1k, 1k-15k, 15k-50k, 50k-100k, 100k-250k, 250k-500k, 500k-1m, 1m-5m, 5m-25m, 25m-50m.
  • Workflow for "what is politician X trading": politicians list --state ... or politicians top → take the bioguide ID → trades list --politician ID.
  • Running with no subcommand opens an interactive REPL.
