What it does
Minervini Vcp is an agent skill from questflowai/investorskills. Use when evaluating Mark Minervini-style VCP setups: volatility contraction, tight price action, moving-average alignment, relative strength, breakout trigger, and structural stop placement.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `invest.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Investor Skills is an open-source library that turns durable investing judgment into portable, structured formats. It collects how great investors think, filter opportunities… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Evaluating Mark Minervini-style VCP setups: volatility contraction
- Tight price action
- Moving-average alignment
- Relative strength
Example prompts
- “/minervini-vcp”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm stage-2 uptrend and moving-average alignment.
- Check relative strength and leadership.
- Identify contraction sequence: each pullback should get smaller and tighter.
- Confirm volume dries up near the pivot.
- Define pivot, entry, stop, first add, and invalidation.
- Reject loose, extended, or lagging setups.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2844d78. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
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
Minervini Vcp loads about 601 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Minervini VCP
Use this skill to apply Mark Minervini-style Volatility Contraction Pattern analysis: find leading stocks in uptrends, wait for volatility to contract through successive pullbacks, buy the breakout through a pivot, and cut quickly if the setup fails.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- VCP pattern review
- Platform/base breakout analysis
- Tightness and volatility contraction checks
- Moving-average and relative-strength alignment
- Entry, stop, and add plan for a growth leader
Trigger phrases include Minervini, VCP, volatility contraction, tightness, platform, pivot, SEPA, stage 2, and breakout.
Do Not Use When
- The stock is below key moving averages or in a downtrend.
- The base is wide, loose, and volatile.
- The breakout is far extended from the pivot.
- The user wants long-term value analysis only.
Inputs Needed
- Ticker, timeframe, and recent OHLCV
- Moving averages: 50-day, 150-day, 200-day if available
- Relative strength versus market and industry
- VCP contractions, pivot, volume dry-up, and breakout volume
- Earnings/sales growth if available
- Risk budget if sizing is requested
Process
- Confirm stage-2 uptrend and moving-average alignment.
- Check relative strength and leadership.
- Identify contraction sequence: each pullback should get smaller and tighter.
- Confirm volume dries up near the pivot.
- Define pivot, entry, stop, first add, and invalidation.
- Reject loose, extended, or lagging setups.
Output Format
# Minervini VCP View: [Stock]
## Verdict
Buyable Breakout / Watch Pivot / Too Loose / Extended / Failed / Pass
## Trend Template
## VCP Structure
## Pivot And Stop
## Volume And Relative Strength
## Trade Plan
## Missing DataGuardrails
- Do not buy loose VCPs.
- Do not buy below declining key moving averages.
- Do not chase far above the pivot.
- Do not widen stops after entry.
- Do not average down.
Questflow Use
In Questflow, this skill is best used as a technical breakout module for detecting VCP/platform setups, defining stop levels, and monitoring breakout follow-through.
