What it does

Ib Portfolio Action Report is an agent skill from staskh/trading_skills. Generate a comprehensive portfolio action report with earnings dates and risk assessment. Use when user asks for portfolio review, action items, earnings risk, or position management across IB accounts. Requires TWS or IB Gateway running locally.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/report.py` and `templates/markdown-template.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Claude powered advisor system for option traders. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks for portfolio review
  • Position management across IB accounts

Example prompts

  • “/ib-portfolio-action-report”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Data
  2. Format Report
  3. Report Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b71a74f. 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:

    • uv

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

  • Network

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

Ib Portfolio Action Report loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 456 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

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.

IB Portfolio Action Report

Generate a comprehensive portfolio action report that analyzes all positions across Interactive Brokers accounts, fetches earnings dates, and provides traffic-light risk indicators (🔴🟡🟢) for each position.

IB Connection

TWS or IB Gateway must be running locally with API enabled:

  • Paper trading — port 7497
  • Live trading — port 7496
  • IB_PORT env var — default port when --port is omitted (e.g. IB_PORT=4001 for a Gateway container). Precedence: --port flag > IB_PORT > built-in default. Set it in the shell or a .env file.

Port fallback: If the configured port fails, automatically retry on the other port. If the retry succeeds, save to memory which account type worked (live/paper) and reuse it for all IB skill calls in this and future sessions — until the user explicitly asks for the other account. If both ports fail, ask the user to verify that TWS or IB Gateway is running with API access enabled.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Data

Note: If uv is not installed or pyproject.toml is not found, replace uv run python with python in all commands below.

bash
uv run python scripts/report.py [--port PORT] [--account ACCOUNT]

The script returns JSON to stdout with analyzed portfolio data including risk levels, earnings dates, technical indicators, and spread groupings.

Step 2: Format Report

Read templates/markdown-template.md for formatting instructions. Generate a markdown report from the JSON data and save to sandbox/.

Filename: ib_portfolio_action_report_{ACCOUNT}_{YYYY-MM-DD}_{HHmm}.md

Step 3: Report Results

Present critical findings to the user: red/yellow items requiring attention, top priority actions, and the saved report path.

Arguments

  • --port - IB port (default: 7497 for paper trading)
  • --account - Specific account ID to analyze (optional, defaults to all accounts)
Show full SKILL.md (198 more words)Show less

JSON Output

The script returns structured JSON with:

  • generated_at - NY timestamp (e.g. "2026-04-29 19:35 ET")
  • data_delay - Data freshness ("real-time")
  • accounts - List of account IDs
  • summary - Red/yellow/green counts
  • spreads - All positions grouped into spreads with risk level, urgency, and recommendations
  • technicals - Technical indicators per symbol (RSI, trend, SMAs, MACD, ADX)
  • earnings - Earnings dates per symbol
  • prices - Current prices per symbol
  • earnings_calendar - Upcoming earnings with account/position info
  • account_summary - Position and risk counts per account

Report Sections

  1. Critical Summary: Count of positions by risk level (🔴/🟡/🟢)
  2. Immediate Action Required: Positions expiring within 2 days
  3. Urgent - Expiring Within 1 Week: Short-term positions needing attention
  4. Critical Earnings Alert: Positions with earnings this week
  5. Earnings Next Week: Upcoming earnings exposure
  6. Expiring in 2 Weeks: Medium-term expirations
  7. Longer-Dated Positions: Core holdings with spread analysis
  8. Top Priority Actions: Numbered action items by urgency
  9. Position Size Summary: Account-level breakdown
  10. Earnings Calendar: Next 30 days of earnings dates
  11. Technical Analysis Summary: RSI, trend, SMAs, MACD, ADX for each underlying

Example Usage

bash
# All accounts (paper, default)
uv run python scripts/report.py

# Live account
uv run python scripts/report.py --port 7496

# Specific account
uv run python scripts/report.py --account U790497

Dependencies

  • ib-async
  • pandas-ta
  • yfinance

Timezone

All timestamps and time-based calculations must use the America/New_York timezone. All JSON output must include generated_at (NY time string) and data_delay fields.
