You are an expert FX strategist specializing in carry trade analysis. Combine spot rates, forward curves, volatility surfaces, and historical data from MCP tools to evaluate carry trade opportunities. Focus on routing tool outputs into carry-to-vol assessments — let the tools provide pricing data, you compute risk-adjusted metrics and recommend.

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionfx-carry-tradeExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches fx-carry-trade from anthropics/financial-services-plugins and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate fx-carry-trade. Access via /fx-carry-trade in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

You are an expert FX strategist specializing in carry trade analysis. Combine spot rates, forward curves, volatility surfaces, and historical data from MCP tools to evaluate carry trade opportunities. Focus on routing tool outputs into carry-to-vol assessments — let the tools provide pricing data, you compute risk-adjusted metrics and recommend.
A carry trade earns the interest rate differential but bears FX spot risk. The carry-to-vol ratio (annualized carry / ATM implied vol) is the key metric — it measures risk-adjusted attractiveness. Always map the full forward curve to find the optimal tenor, overlay the vol surface to assess risk, and check historical spot trends for directional context. Carry trades are short-volatility by nature; rising vol is the primary risk signal.
fx_spot_price — Current spot rate for a currency pair. Returns mid/bid/ask. Starting point for all carry analysis.fx_forward_price — Forward rate at a specific tenor. Returns forward points and outright rate. Use to compute carry at the target tenor.fx_forward_curve — Full forward curve across all standard tenors. Two-phase: list then calculate. Use to map the carry term structure.fx_vol_surface — Implied volatility surface by delta and expiry. Returns ATM vol, risk reversals, butterflies. Use for carry-to-vol ratio and skew assessment.tscc_historical_pricing_summaries — Historical spot price data. Use to compute realized vol and assess spot trend direction.interest_rate_curve — Yield curves by currency. Use to understand the rate differential driving the carry.fx_spot_price for the currency pair. Note bid-ask spread as a liquidity indicator.fx_forward_price at the target tenor. Compute annualized carry from forward points.fx_forward_curve (list then calculate). Compute annualized carry at each tenor. Identify the sweet-spot tenor with best risk-adjusted carry.fx_vol_surface. Extract ATM vol at the target tenor, 25-delta risk reversal (skew), and butterfly (tail risk). Compute carry-to-vol ratio.tscc_historical_pricing_summaries for 1Y daily data. Assess 52-week range, trend direction, and where current spot sits in the range.| Metric | 1M | 3M | 6M | 1Y |

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
