Trading Orchestrator

Trading Orchestrator is the master coordination skill from the CLI Trader project that routes trading queries to the appropriate analysis skills, enforces mandatory risk controls, and manages the end-to-end workflow from initial question to trade execution. Developed by the CLI Trader team, this skill does not perform analysis itself — instead, it acts as the intelligent router and workflow manager that ensures every trading decision follows a consistent, disciplined process regardless of asset type or market. It is the skill that ties all other CLI Trader skills together into a coherent system, making sure that no step is skipped and no trade reaches execution without proper validation.

The orchestrator begins every interaction by detecting the asset type from your query — distinguishing between equities, crypto tokens, DeFi protocol positions, options contracts, and prediction market events — and activating the relevant analysis skills with asset-appropriate parameters. For an equity trade, it might activate technical analysis with daily and weekly timeframes plus fundamental analysis with sector comparisons. For a DeFi yield opportunity, it activates protocol analysis, smart contract risk assessment, and impermanent loss modeling. The standard analysis pipeline follows a consistent sequence: identify the opportunity, run the appropriate analysis skills in parallel where possible, aggregate findings into a structured trade proposal, pass the proposal through the mandatory risk management gate, present the validated proposal for your approval, and monitor the position post-entry. The risk gate is a non-negotiable checkpoint — every trade must pass position sizing validation, portfolio heat checks, correlation exposure limits, and daily loss constraints before it is presented. If a trade fails any risk check, the orchestrator explains the violation and suggests modifications rather than simply rejecting the idea. In agent mode, additional guardrails activate: stricter confirmation requirements, trade frequency limits to prevent overtrading, multi-checkpoint approval workflows, and enhanced decision logging for complete auditability.

In practice, the orchestrator is the skill you interact with most directly because it manages the conversation flow and delegates to specialized skills behind the scenes. You describe what you want to analyze or trade, and the orchestrator handles the complexity of selecting the right tools, running analyses in the correct order, synthesizing results from multiple skills, and ensuring risk compliance. This means you get the benefit of deep, specialized analysis for each asset class without needing to manually invoke individual skills or remember which framework applies to which market. The orchestrator turns the full CLI Trader skill library into a unified trading assistant with consistent risk discipline across every asset class it supports.
