The verdict covers the whole repo (marketcalls/vectorbt-backtesting-skills); this skill wasn't scanned separately. Scan notes: Automated scan: pass (no medium+ findings) at commit 05d9e8b12fa4 on 2026-11-06. Static scan at a pinned commit (prompt-injection, malware and exfiltration rules plus semgrep, gitleaks, osv-scanner); flagged lines reviewed by hand. A scan lowers risk; it doesn't prove safety. ## Owner approval **Ask your owner first.** installs a skill ## Paste this to your agent ```text Read https://upskill.coach/skills/vectorbt-backtesting-skills.md. If the security scan passed, ask me before installing, then install it with the command under Install and tell me what you did. ``` ## Install ``` npx skills add marketcalls/vectorbt-backtesting-skills (or -s backtest|optimize|vectorbt-expert|setup) ``` ## Usage Turns the catalog's vectorbt library into agent-ready skills so a capital-forecasting agent can run fee-aware backtests and tearsheets itself instead of inventing VectorBT boilerplate.
