What it does

Alert System is an agent skill from Signal-Execution-Labs/forex-trading-ai-agent. Set price alerts, volume alerts, indicator alerts (RSI/MACD), and news alerts for crypto trading.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/alert_monitor.py`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: About AI quantitative trading platform for crypto, stocks, and forex with backtesting, live trading, market data, and multi-agent research.vibe-trading…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting

Example prompts

  • “/alert-system”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define alert conditions (price, indicator, volume)
  2. Add to ~/.kit/alerts.json
  3. Run alert monitor as background service
  4. Configure notification channels

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8a6047. 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:

    • python3

    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

Alert System loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Workflow

Setting Up Alerts
  1. Define alert conditions (price, indicator, volume)
  2. Add to ~/.kit/alerts.json
  3. Run alert monitor as background service
  4. Configure notification channels
Alert Types
TypeTriggerUse Case
price_abovePrice >= targetTake profit
price_belowPrice <= targetStop loss, buy dip
pct_changeX% move in Y timeVolatility
volume_spikeVolume > X * averageBreakout
rsi_highRSI >= 70Overbought
rsi_lowRSI <= 30Oversold
macd_crossMACD/Signal crossTrend change
Notification Channels
  • Telegram - Via K.I.T. bot
  • Sound - System alert sound
  • Email - For critical alerts
  • Push - Mobile notification
Best Practices
  1. Don't set alerts too close to current price (noise)
  2. Use multiple confirmation (price + volume + indicator)
  3. Set both entry and exit alerts
  4. Review and clean up old alerts regularly

When should I use Alert System?

Alert System fits situations like: tasks that involve Trading and backtesting.

How do I install Alert System in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Signal-Execution-Labs/forex-trading-ai-agent --skill alert-system -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/alert-system in Signal-Execution-Labs/forex-trading-ai-agent) into .claude/skills/alert-system in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Alert System in Codex?
