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 → okx-cex-skill-mp (this skill)
• Market data / indicators → okx-cex-market
• Account balance / positions → okx-cex-portfolio
• Place / cancel orders → okx-cex-trade
• Grid / DCA bots → okx-cex-bot

Prerequisites

1. Install okx CLI:

   npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
   

2. Configure API credentials (required for marketplace access):

   okx config init

Installation Strategy

When the user wants to install a skill, follow this order strictly:

1. Always try okx skill add <name> first — this downloads the skill and installs it to all detected agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in one step.
2. Only if add fails, fall back to manual download:
   • Tell the user why add 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 add and go straight to download unless add has already failed.

  grid-dca          1.0.0     Grid strategy combined with DCA

2 skills found (page 1/1). Use `okx skill add <name>` to install.

Search with category filter:

okx skill search --categories trading-strategy

Pagination (response includes totalPage for total pages):

okx skill search grid --page 2 --limit 5
# Output: "3 skills found (page 2/4). Use `okx skill add <name>` to install."

2. Browse Categories

okx skill categories

  ID                  NAME
  trading-strategy    Trading Strategy
  risk-management     Risk Management

3. Install a Skill

okx skill add grid-premium

Output:

Downloading grid-premium...
Installing to detected agents...
✓ Skill "grid-premium" v1.2.0 installed

What happens under the hood:

1. Downloads skill zip from OKX marketplace API
2. Extracts and validates the package (checks SKILL.md exists, reads metadata)
3. Runs npx skills add to install to all locally detected agents
4. Records the installation in ~/.okx/skills/registry.json

4. Download Only (No Install)

When add fails or the user wants the raw package:

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

Output:

✓ Downloaded grid-premium.zip
  Path: /Users/me/Downloads/grid-premium.zip

The zip contains:

• SKILL.md — the skill's main instruction file
• _meta.json — metadata (name, version, title, description)
• reference/ — optional supporting documents

5. List Installed Skills

okx skill list

Output:

  NAME              VERSION   INSTALLED AT
  grid-premium      1.2.0     2026-03-25 10:30:00
  dca-smart         2.1.0     2026-03-20 14:00:00

2 skills installed.

6. Check for Updates

okx skill check grid-premium

Output:

grid-premium: installed v1.0.0 → latest v1.2.0 (update available)
  Use `okx skill add grid-premium` to update.

To update, simply run okx skill add <name> again — it overwrites the previous version.

7. Remove a Skill

okx skill remove grid-premium

Output:

✓ Skill "grid-premium" removed

MCP Tools (Alternative)

When the CLI is unavailable (e.g., Claude Desktop without terminal access), the same marketplace functionality is available via MCP tools:

MCP Tool	Equivalent CLI	Description
skills_search	okx skill search	Search by keyword/category. Response includes totalPage for pagination.
skills_get_categories	okx skill categories	List categories
skills_download	okx skill download	Download zip to directory

Note: MCP tools only support search and download. The full install flow (add) requires CLI access.
