OKX Skills Marketplace
Browse, search, install, and manage AI trading skills from the OKX Skills Marketplace. Skills are modular AI prompt packages that extend your trading assistant's capabilities — covering market analysis, trade execution, risk management, and portfolio optimization.
Skill routing
- Skill marketplace → (this skill)
- Market data / indicators →
- Account balance / positions →

bash
npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
- Configure API credentials (required for marketplace access):
Installation Strategy
When the user wants to install a skill, follow this order strictly:
- Always try first — this downloads the skill and installs it to all detected agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in one step.
- Only if fails, fall back to manual download:
- Tell the user why failed (network error, npx unavailable, permission issue, etc.)
- Offer
okx skill download <name> --dir <path>
as an alternative
- Guide the user to manually unzip and place files in their agent's skill directory
Never skip
and go straight to
unless
has already failed.

When

bash
okx skill download grid-premium --dir ~/Downloads/

The zip contains:
