trader-pelosi
The Pelosi Tracker. Watches the stock trades members of Congress must disclose under the STOCK Act: reads the House Clerk's public Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) as soon as they are posted, alerts once per new filing, and turns each PDF into clean rows (who, owner, stock, ticker, buy or sell, options strike and expiry, trade date, amount range, how many days it took to disclose). Flags trades in stocks you hold. Senate reports are covered by a documented manual route. Use when the user says "what is Pelosi buying", "track Nancy Pelosi", "Congress trades", "politician stock trades", "did any congressman buy X", "alert me when Pelosi files", or "run the Pelosi skill".

trader-pelosi
Members of Congress have to report their trades, their spouse's and their dependent children's. The House Clerk posts every report as a PDF and lists them all in one index file per year. This skill reads that index, notices the moment a new report appears, and reads the report for you.
It is fast. It is not early. A PTR is due within 30 days of the member learning of the trade and never more than 45 days after it, so by the time anyone can read it the trade is days or weeks old. There is no inside information here: only public filings, read quickly. Say that every time.
Tool in this folder (standard library Python; pdftotext from poppler is
optional, to read the PDFs locally):
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" --help
What it reads and writes
- Reads
https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/<YEAR>FD.zip(one<Member>per filing: name, district, FilingType, FilingDate, DocID) and each PTR at.../public_disc/ptr-pdfs/<YEAR>/<DocID>.pdf. - Writes
trader/state/pelosi.json(the DocIDs already shown, so each PTR alerts once) and keeps downloaded PDFs intrader/state/ptr-pdfs/. - Reads
trader/portfolio.json(if it exists) to flag trades in what you hold.
The rules
- Quote the filing, not a tracker. Every row comes from the PTR PDF on the Clerk's site, with its DocID and link. Third-party trackers are fine for browsing but can be off (Capitol Trades showed Pelosi's trade dates one day earlier than her PTRs). The PTR wins.
- Amounts are ranges. "$1,000,001 - $5,000,000", never "$3 million".
- Owner matters. SP is the spouse, JT joint, DC a dependent child, blank the member. Pelosi's 2026 trades are all SP: Paul Pelosi.
- Say the delay. Each row shows how many days passed between the trade and the filing; over 45 is flagged as late.
- Options are options. A call bought with a strike and an expiry is not a share purchase. The tool reads contracts, strike and expiry from the description and marks exercises.
Step 1: what has been filed
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" index --member pelosi
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" index --since 2026-10-01 # every member
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" index --member "Josh Gottheimer" --year 2025
--member takes a last name, "First Last" or "Last, First", and repeats.
--type '' lists every filing type (annual reports are type O).
Step 2: watch for new ones
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" new --member pelosi --read
Shows only PTRs not seen at the last check (the first run shows the last 45
days), downloads and reads them with --read, and records them in the state
file. Exit code 1 means nothing new. In January it also checks last year's
index. The Clerk rebuilds the index file about once a day (the copy read on
2026-10-13 was stamped 09:00 that morning), so checking every hour on weekdays
is plenty: run it with /loop 1h or a scheduled task.
Step 3: read a report
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" fetch 20035143
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/ptr.py" parse ptr.txt --filed 2026-08-21 --json
fetch saves the PDF and, if pdftotext is installed, prints the rows. If it
is not installed, open the saved PDF and read it directly: you can read PDFs.
parse turns pdftotext -layout text into rows. Check the row count against
the PDF when a report runs over several pages.
Example: the reel's alert
NEW Periodic Transaction Report: Hon. Nancy Pelosi (CA11) filed 2026-08-21, doc 20035143
- spouse purchase, Bloom Energy Corporation Class A Common Stock (BE): 100 call
options, $100 strike, expires 2027-06-17, $1,000,001 - $5,000,000, traded
2026-07-24, disclosed 28 days later
The same PTR also shows 10,000 and 5,000 BE shares, a second block of 100 BE calls on 07/28, Intel shares and 50 Intel calls ($50 strike, 6/17/27), and a private real estate LLC with no ticker. Her other 2026 PTRs: 20033725 (01/23), 20034836 (06/23, Intel and Uber calls) and 20035553 (10/02, a real estate LLC). Then: "This is a public disclosure filed 28 days after the trade. It says what Paul Pelosi bought in July, not what anyone will buy next."
If the user wants to act on it, it goes the long way: shares only (the config
has allow_options: false), sized by /trader-budget, checked by
/trader-risk, placed by /trader-broker only after their yes.
The Senate: the manual route
Senate reports live at https://efdsearch.senate.gov. Before searching, the
site asks you to tick a box agreeing to the legal limits on how the reports
may be used. That is an agreement for the person to accept, so this skill
does not click it or automate it. The route:
- The user opens
https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/in their browser and accepts the agreement themselves. - They pick the report type "Periodic Transactions", type the senator's last name, set the date range and search.
- They open the report: electronic filings show a table of transactions, paper filings are scanned images.
- They paste the table (or a screenshot, or the saved page) into the chat, and you write it up in the same shape as the House rows, with the report link, and the same 45-day caveat.
What it never does
- Never says or implies a member has inside information, or that copying a politician beats the market. No return claims.
- Never presents a range as an exact dollar figure or a tracker's date as the trade date.
- Never places an order, and never copies options trades.
- Never automates the Senate agreement or any login.
Safety
- Education and tooling, not financial advice. Nothing in this pack is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
- Paper trading by default (
"paper": trueintrader/config.json). - Nothing places an order except
/trader-broker, and only after/trader-riskpasses AND the user types an explicit yes for that order in the chat, AND the brokerage tool is set to "Needs approval" in Claude (Customize > Connectors > tool permissions) so Claude's own "Allow once / Deny" card appears too. Never "Always allow" an order tool. - No options, margin, shorting or leverage unless the config allows it and the user confirms.
- Congressional trades are PUBLIC disclosures filed up to 45 days after the trade (STOCK Act). This skill reads them fast; it has no inside information, and it says so.

trader-screener
jakeschincariol/trader-skill
The Stock Screener. Checks a list of companies against the user's own rules (revenue growth, margins, EPS, P/E, earnings yield, sector, anything in the metrics file), says exactly which rule each company passes or fails and by how much, and ranks the ones that pass into a shortlist. Reads the metrics /trader-analyst writes from SEC filings, or any CSV. Use when the user says "screen for stocks", "find me companies that", "filter my watchlist", "which of these pass my rules", "shortlist candidates", "rank these stocks", or "growing companies under 30 times earnings".

Open the skill to read its SKILL.md instructions.
trader-rebalance
jakeschincariol/trader-skill
Rebalancer. Brings the portfolio back to its target weights when it drifts: values every holding at current prices, works out each stock's drift from its target in percentage points, trades only the stocks outside a band (default 5 points), keeps the cash buffer and the per-stock cap, skips tiny trades, lists sells before buys, and writes the trades to trader/orders.json as proposals. Use when the user says "rebalance", "my portfolio drifted", "bring it back to the targets", "I added money", "the new 13F changed the weights", "am I overweight", or on a schedule (monthly or quarterly) after /trader-copycat updates the targets.
trader-copycat
jakeschincariol/trader-skill
The Reverse Engineer. Reads a famous investor's public SEC filings (the quarterly 13F-HR, plus Form 4 if you want the insider trades) and rebuilds their portfolio as weights you can copy: every position, its share of the fund, what they bought, added, trimmed and sold since the last quarter, with tickers matched to every CUSIP. Then it writes trader/targets.json so the budget skill can size it to your money. Use when the user says "copy Buffett", "copy Berkshire", "what does Ackman own", "reverse engineer this investor", "show me their 13F", "what did they buy last quarter", "copy the top 5", or names any fund or famous investor.
trader-risk
jakeschincariol/trader-skill
Risk Manager. Checks every proposed order against your limits before it can reach the broker and blocks anything over them: blocked tickers, max order size, minimum order, max position percent after the fill, the cash buffer, margin, short sales, options and crypto (off unless allowed), malformed orders, duplicates and a daily order limit. Prints PASS or BLOCK with the reason for each order and records the verdicts so trader-broker only shows an order that passed. Use when the user says "check my orders", "is this safe", "risk check", "does this break my rules", "can I place this", or before /trader-broker, always.
trader-alerts
jakeschincariol/trader-skill
Price Alerts. Rings when a price target, a stop or the opening bell hits: above / below / stop rules, percent moves from the previous close, and the NYSE opening bell, each ringing once so you are not spammed. Knows NYSE hours with the 2026 and 2027 holidays and 1:00 p.m. early closes, fetches free delayed quotes (Yahoo chart JSON, Stooq CSV) one ticker at a time, and writes trader/prices.json for the other skills. Use when the user says "alert me when", "tell me if AAPL hits", "set a stop", "price target", "watch my stocks", "is the market open", "when does the market open", "get me prices", or to refresh prices before sizing, risk or tax.
