What it does

Exposure Coach is an agent skill from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. Generate a one-page Market Posture summary with net exposure ceiling, growth-vs-value bias, participation breadth, and new-entry-allowed vs cash-priority recommendation by integrating signals from breadth, regime, and flow analysis skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/exposure_framework.md`, `references/regime_exposure_map.md` and `scripts/calculate_exposure.py`).

The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for equity investors and traders — market analysis, technical charting, economic calendars, screeners, and trading strategy development. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/exposure-coach”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in FMP_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Upstream Skill Outputs
  2. Run Exposure Scoring Engine
  3. Interpret the Market Posture Summary
  4. Apply Exposure Guidance

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c8d58f0. 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 3 files 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • FMP_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Exposure Coach loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 610 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

Generate a one-page Market Posture summary with net exposure ceiling, growth-vs-value bias, participation breadth, and new-entry-allowed vs cash-priority recommendation by integrating signals from breadth, regime, and flow analysis skills.

Exposure Coach

Overview

Exposure Coach synthesizes outputs from market-breadth-analyzer, uptrend-analyzer, macro-regime-detector, market-top-detector, ftd-detector, theme-detector, sector-analyst, and institutional-flow-tracker into a unified control-plane decision. The skill answers the solo trader's core question: "How much capital should I commit to equities right now?" before any individual stock analysis begins.

When to Use

  • Before initiating any new stock positions to determine appropriate capital commitment
  • At the start of each trading week to calibrate portfolio exposure
  • When multiple market signals conflict and a unified posture is needed
  • After significant macro or market events to reassess exposure ceiling
  • When transitioning between market regimes (broadening, concentration, contraction)

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+
  • FMP API key (set FMP_API_KEY environment variable) for institutional-flow-tracker data
  • Input JSON files from upstream skills (see Workflow Step 1)
  • Standard library + argparse, json, datetime

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Upstream Skill Outputs

Collect the most recent JSON outputs from integrated skills. Each file provides a specific signal dimension:

SkillOutput File PatternSignal Provided
market-breadth-analyzerbreadth_*.jsonAdvance/decline ratios, new highs/lows
uptrend-analyzeruptrend_*.jsonUptrend participation percentage
macro-regime-detectorregime_*.jsonCurrent regime (Concentration, Broadening, etc.)
market-top-detectortop_risk_*.jsonDistribution day count, top probability score
ftd-detectorftd_*.jsonFollow-Through Day quality (market bottom confirmation)
theme-detectortheme_detector_*.json or theme_*.jsonActive investment themes and rotation
sector-analystsector_*.jsonSector performance rankings
institutional-flow-trackerinstitutional_*.jsonNet institutional buying/selling
Step 2: Run Exposure Scoring Engine

Execute the exposure scoring script with paths to upstream outputs:

bash
python3 skills/exposure-coach/scripts/calculate_exposure.py \
  --breadth reports/breadth_latest.json \
  --uptrend reports/uptrend_latest.json \
  --regime reports/regime_latest.json \
  --top-risk reports/top_risk_latest.json \
  --ftd reports/ftd_latest.json \
  --theme reports/theme_latest.json \
  --sector reports/sector_latest.json \
  --institutional reports/institutional_latest.json \
  --output-dir reports/

The script accepts partial inputs; missing files reduce confidence but do not block execution.

Canonical macro-regime reports must include nested regime.confidence and composite.data_quality with valid integer component counts. Missing or malformed availability metadata, very_low confidence, and zero usable components are treated as missing critical input. They do not contribute a regime score or bias, and the normal missing-input haircut and confidence cap apply. Never override this degradation by manually copying the report's regime label into the exposure decision.

Verification pitfall: After each run, inspect the generated JSON fields inputs_provided and inputs_missing. If a file you passed on the CLI still appears in inputs_missing (for example a theme-detector JSON that the exposure engine did not recognize), report the affected dimension as degraded and keep confidence capped; do not assume the supplied input was incorporated just because the CLI argument was present.

Theme-detector ingestion caveat: The theme detector commonly emits theme_detector_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.json with a themes object. If that file is not recognized by calculate_exposure.py and theme remains in inputs_missing, do not fold theme strength into the exposure ceiling manually. Instead, keep the Exposure Coach confidence capped, state that the theme dimension was not incorporated, and summarize theme/sector findings separately in the broader trading brief.

Step 3: Interpret the Market Posture Summary

Review the generated posture report containing:

  1. Exposure Ceiling -- Maximum recommended equity allocation (0-100%)
  2. Bias Direction -- Growth vs Value tilt based on regime and flow
  3. Participation Assessment -- Broad (healthy) vs Narrow (fragile) market
  4. Action Recommendation -- NEW_ENTRY_ALLOWED, REDUCE_ONLY, or CASH_PRIORITY
  5. Confidence Level -- HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW based on input completeness
Step 4: Apply Exposure Guidance

Map the posture recommendation to portfolio actions:

RecommendationAction
NEW_ENTRY_ALLOWEDProceed with stock-level analysis and new positions
REDUCE_ONLYNo new entries; trim existing positions on strength
CASH_PRIORITYRaise cash aggressively; avoid all new commitments

Markdown Report

The markdown report provides a one-page summary suitable for quick review:

# Market Posture Summary
**Date:** 2026-03-16 | **Confidence:** HIGH

## Exposure Ceiling: 70%

| Dimension | Score | Status |
|-----------|-------|--------|
| Breadth | 65 | Healthy |
| Uptrend Participation | 72% | Broad |
| Regime | Broadening | Favorable |
| Top Risk | 25 | Low |

## Recommendation: NEW_ENTRY_ALLOWED

**Bias:** Growth > Value
**Participation:** Broad (healthy internals)

### Rationale
Broad participation with low distribution day count supports elevated equity exposure.
New positions allowed within the 70% ceiling.

Reports are saved to reports/ with filenames exposure_posture_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.{json,md}.

Resources

  • scripts/calculate_exposure.py -- Main orchestrator that scores and synthesizes inputs
  • references/exposure_framework.md -- Scoring rules and threshold definitions
  • references/regime_exposure_map.md -- Regime-to-exposure ceiling mappings

Key Principles

  1. Safety First -- Default to lower exposure when inputs are incomplete or conflicting
  2. Regime Alignment -- Let macro regime set the baseline; breadth adjusts within bounds
  3. Actionable Output -- Always produce a clear recommendation, not just data aggregation
