What it does

Trader Signal is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Generate trading signals using npx neural-trader anomaly detection engine with Z-score scoring and neural prediction

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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 Data & Analytics, covering Trading and backtesting and Anomaly detection. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting
  • Tasks that involve Anomaly detection

Example prompts

  • “/trader-signal”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_retrieve, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_delete, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predict, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ensure neural-trader is available
  2. Scan for signals
  3. If --strategy specified, load strategy filters
  4. neural-trader classifies anomalies automatically
  5. Use SONA for regime prediction
  6. Search historical pattern matches
  7. Present ranked signals: instrument, direction, confidence, anomaly type, entry/stop/target
  8. Store signals with a 24-hour TTL (intraday signals shouldn't pollute long-running memory; the MemoryConsolidator.sweepExpired() pass…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c04654. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_retrieve
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_delete
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predict
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and npm, 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

Trader Signal loads about 605 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~605

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_retriev

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.

Generate trading signals using neural-trader's anomaly detection engine.

Steps:

  1. Ensure neural-trader is available: npm ls neural-trader 2>/dev/null || npm install --ignore-scripts neural-trader
  2. Scan for signals:
    bash
    npx neural-trader --signal scan --symbols <TICKERS>
    With a specific strategy:
    bash
    npx neural-trader --signal scan --strategy <name> --symbols <TICKERS>
  3. If --strategy specified, load strategy filters: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_retrieve({ key: "strategy-NAME", namespace: "trading-strategies" })
  4. neural-trader classifies anomalies automatically:
    • spike (maxZ > 5): breakout — momentum entry or mean-reversion fade
    • drift (sustained high Z): trend forming — trend-following signal
    • flatline (low Z): consolidation — prepare for breakout
    • oscillation (alternating): range-bound — mean-reversion at extremes
    • pattern-break (multiple dims): regime change — close and reassess
    • cluster-outlier (>50% dims): multi-factor dislocation — arbitrage
  5. Use SONA for regime prediction: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predict({ input: "anomaly types: [DETECTED], scores: [SCORES]" })
  6. Search historical pattern matches: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search({ query: "ANOMALY_TYPE score RANGE", namespace: "trading-signals" })
  7. Present ranked signals: instrument, direction, confidence, anomaly type, entry/stop/target
  8. Store signals with a 24-hour TTL (intraday signals shouldn't pollute long-running memory; the MemoryConsolidator.sweepExpired() pass introduced in ADR-125 Phase 4 — shipped in @claude-flow/memory@3.0.0-alpha.18 — sweeps them out after they expire): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store({ key: "signal-TIMESTAMP", value: "SIGNALS_JSON", namespace: "trading-signals", expiresAt: Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 })
