  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by HKUDS on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Trade Journal AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/HKUDS/Vibe-Trading/tree/main/agent/src/skills/trade-journal
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HKUDS/Vibe-Trading.git /tmp/Vibe-Trading
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Vibe-Trading/agent/src/skills/trade-journal .claude/skills/trade-journal
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Trade Journal in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Trade Journal on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Trade Journal is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Trade Journal Analysis

Purpose

Users upload broker exports (交割单) and get an honest, data-grounded portrait of their own trading. Two layers are live:

  • Profile — holding days, frequency, win rate, PnL ratio, cumulative PnL, max drawdown, top symbols, market/hourly distribution.
  • Behavior diagnostics — 4 biases, each with severity (low/medium/high) and numeric evidence: disposition effect, overtrading, chasing momentum, anchoring.

Strategy extraction → backtest bridge lands in Phase 4c.

Supported formats (auto-detected):

  • 同花顺 (Tonghuashun) — A-share CSV, typically GBK-encoded
  • 东方财富 (Eastmoney) — A-share CSV, typically GBK-encoded
  • 富途 (Futu) — HK/US CSV, UTF-8
  • Generic — any CSV with columns like datetime/symbol/side/qty/price

Usage

Call the analyze_trade_journal tool directly. Never run Python from bash.

analyze_trade_journal(file_path="uploads/xxx.csv")
analyze_trade_journal(file_path="uploads/xxx.csv", analysis_type="profile")
analyze_trade_journal(file_path="uploads/xxx.csv", filter_expr="2026-01 to 2026-03")
analyze_trade_journal(file_path="uploads/xxx.csv", filter_expr="symbol=600519.SH")
analyze_trade_journal(file_path="uploads/xxx.csv", filter_expr="market=china_a")

analysis_type:

  • full (default) — profile + behavior (strategy still placeholder)
  • profile — profile metrics only (fastest)
  • behavior — 4 behavior diagnostics only
  • strategy — Phase 4c placeholder

filter_expr (optional):

  • Date range: "YYYY-MM to YYYY-MM" or "YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD"
  • Symbol: "symbol=600519.SH" (exact match on qualified symbol)
  • Market: "market=china_a|us|hk|crypto"

Note: PnL uses FIFO lot matching; unmatched open positions are excluded from win rate / PnL ratio (only closed round-trips count).

Presenting results to the user

Produce a single markdown report in the user's language. Lead with the top-line numbers, then section-by-section. Keep it dense — this is retail readers skimming on a phone.

Report template

## 你的交易画像 — {date_range}

**总体**
- 交易笔数:{total_trades}(完整来回 {total_roundtrips} 次)
- 平均持仓:{avg_holding_days} 天
- 交易频率:{trade_frequency_per_week} 次/周
- 胜率:{win_rate:.0%}
- 盈亏比:{profit_loss_ratio}
- 累计盈亏:{total_pnl}
- 最大回撤:{max_drawdown}

**最常交易的标的**(前 5 名)
| 标的 | 笔数 | 成交额 |
|------|------|--------|
| ... | ... | ... |

**市场分布**
{market_distribution}

**交易时段**
{hourly_distribution — highlight peak hours}

**一句话观察**
(根据数据写 1-2 句:过度交易?只做窄范围标的?集中在某时段?)

Guidance:

  • If win_rate < 0.4 AND profit_loss_ratio < 1.0 → explicit warning: losing on both win rate and payoff. Ask whether they want behavior diagnostics (Phase 4b) or a cooling-off reality check.
  • If avg_holding_days < 1 AND trade_frequency_per_week > 15 → flag intraday-heavy pattern, note that minute-level backtest would be better.
  • If symbols_count <= 3 → concentration risk; ask if they want a sector- diversification check.

Follow-up dialogue

After the initial report, users typically ask:

  • Time-slice: "3 月份表现怎么样" → re-call with filter_expr="2026-03-01 to 2026-03-31".
  • Symbol deep-dive: "茅台这只赚了多少" → filter_expr="symbol=600519.SH".
  • Market split: "港股和美股分开看" → two calls, market=hk and market=us.
  • Hypothetical ("如果我严格止损 -5%") → Phase 4b feature; for now tell the user this is on the roadmap.

Do NOT re-upload — the file path is still valid for subsequent tool calls in the same session.

Error handling

  • File not found / Unsupported extension — ask user to re-upload.
  • Unrecognized trade journal format — share the detected columns back to the user and ask them to rename the key columns to: datetime, symbol, side, quantity, price, amount, fee (generic fallback).
  • No trade records parsed — likely empty file or header-only; ask user to confirm the export contains actual fills.

Behavior diagnostics (shape)

Under result["behavior"]:

    "severity": "high",
    "ratio_loss_to_win_hold": 1.69,
    "avg_winner_hold_days": 7.4,

    "evidence": "Losing roundtrips held 12.5d vs winning 7.4d (ratio 1.69). Classic disposition pattern."
  },
  "overtrading": {
    "severity": "high",
    "busy_day_avg_pnl": -2632,
    "quiet_day_avg_pnl": 759,
    "evidence": "On busy days (≥3 trades) avg PnL -2632; on quiet days (≤1) avg PnL +759. High activity hurts returns."
  },
  "chasing_momentum": {
    "severity": "medium",
    "chase_ratio": 0.5,
    "buys_evaluated": 4,
    "evidence": "2/4 buys (50%) came after a >3% price run-up in the same symbol. Some chasing tendency."
  },
  "anchoring": {

## 行为偏差诊断

| 偏差 | 严重程度 | 核心证据 |
|------|----------|----------|
| 处置效应 | {high/medium/low} | {evidence} |
| 过度交易 | {...} | {...} |
| 追涨杀跌 | {...} | {...} |
| 锚定效应 | {...} | {...} |

**改进建议**(根据检测到的 high/medium 项生成):
- 处置效应 high → 写死止损(例如 -8%),盈利持仓不要过早兑现
- 过度交易 high → 每日交易次数 <= N 的硬约束
- 追涨杀跌 high → 改买回调而不是新高,设置"涨幅 X% 以上当日不追"规则
- 锚定效应 high → 扩宽价格带,不要死守某个"心理价"

Phase 4c preview (not yet implemented)

Strategy extraction → SignalEngine code gen → auto-backtest lands in Phase 4c. When the user asks for it, respond honestly and offer the behavior diagnostics instead (they're live).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Trade Journal AI skill do?

Analyze a user's trade journal (CSV/Excel broker export). Parses 同花顺/东方财富/富途/generic formats, produces a trading profile and 4 behavior diagnostics (disposition effect, overtrading, chasing, anchoring). Use the `analyze_trade_journal` tool.

Why use Trade Journal on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Trade Journal is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Trade Journal in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/HKUDS/Vibe-Trading/tree/main/agent/src/skills/trade-journal. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Trade Journal?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Trade Journal?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Trade Journal with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Trade Journal AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by HKUDS under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
