Guide users through Interactive Brokers CLI operations — from installing IB Gateway/TWS and ibkr-cli itself, to trading stocks, monitoring accounts, retrieving market data, reading financial news, exploring options chains, screening stocks with market scanners, querying company fundamentals, viewing historical trades, checking P&L, reviewing fund transfers, and tracking dividends. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Interactive Brokers, IBKR, TWS, IB Gateway, stock trading via CLI, checking portfolios or positions, getting quotes, placing orders, reading stock news, options chain, greeks, stock screener, market scanner, top gainers, most active, company fundamentals, financial statements, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, ownership, institutional holders, trade history, realized P&L, unrealized P&L, fund transfers, deposits, withdrawals, dividends, interest, or anything related to brokerage account management through a terminal. Even if the user doesn't say "ibkr" explicitly, trigger when they want to buy/sell stocks from the command line, check their brokerage account, read news about a stock, look up options data, screen for stocks, check company financials, view trade history, check profit and loss, review fund movements, or set up an API connection to a broker.

What this skill does

It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 159,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
