Claude Code · Coding agent
Build a Claude Code trading bot with a whole algo team inside it.
Super Algo Kit turns Claude Code into an algo trading team, so you can build your own Claude Code trading bot. The installer puts 35 skills in .claude/skills and the specialist roles in .claude/agents, and the kit starts by itself when you open the folder. It interviews you, writes a spec, backtests with costs and runs paper first. Live trading starts only when you type the authorize command.
coding agent facts
Claude Code
- How to start
- Open the folder in Claude Code and trust it; the kit starts on its own. Otherwise type /algo-start.
- Where the files go
- Skills in .claude/skills, roles in .claude/agents, hooks in .claude/settings.json, and CLAUDE.md pointing to AGENTS.md.
- Autostart
- Yes. A session-start hook and the kit's conductor agent start it when the folder opens.
- Guard
- A safety guard in .claude/settings.json checks shell, file-write, web-fetch and MCP tool calls before they run.
- Voice input
- Built in: type /voice, then hold Space. It needs a claude.ai login and a microphone on your own computer.
- Models
- The kit's planning, risk and review roles use Opus, and building uses Sonnet.
- Windows note
- Claude Code's OS sandbox needs macOS, Linux or WSL2; on native Windows, the hooks and your own safeguards remain.

Paper first
Super Algo Kit in Claude Code, step by step.
Super Algo Kit runs inside the coding agent you already use. It interviews you, writes the spec with pass marks set first, then builds, backtests and paper-tests. Real money starts only when you type the authorize command.
The plan, step by step
Tick them off as you go.
How does Super Algo Kit install in Claude Code?
Unzip the download and run the installer; on Windows you double-click it. It writes the kit into .super-algo-kit, your project state into .kit, the skills into .claude/skills and the specialist roles into .claude/agents.
It also adds a session-start hook and a safety guard to .claude/settings.json. The first time you open the folder, Claude Code asks you to trust it, so accept to let the hooks and the automatic start run.
What does a Claude Code trading bot session look like?
The kit opens with three short lines on what it will and will not do, then its first question. It asks one short question at a time, and you can answer in your own words or by voice.
Until you approve the brief, it does not suggest indicators, symbols or position sizes. You approve each gate by typing an exact phrase yourself, such as APPROVE BRIEF or APPROVE SPEC.
How do you build and test a trading bot in Claude Code?
After the brief, the kit writes a falsifiable strategy card and a spec with pass marks set before any test. The specialist roles then build the bot, run cost-aware backtests with walk-forward checks, and set risk limits from your maximum loss.
A paper run with a kill-switch drill comes before any live step. A fresh-context review checks each gate, and the kit says it is strongest on a model from a different vendor.
What are the limits of Claude Code with the kit?
The guard is a guard rail, not the floor. If it hits an internal error it lets the call through, so the bot's own risk gate and startup check stay the real safeguards.
Automatic start and hooks wait until you trust the folder. Claude Code needs a Claude subscription or an Anthropic Console account, which is a separate cost from the kit.
Before you rely on it
Limits to know.
- Automatic start and hooks run only after you trust the folder.
- Voice needs a claude.ai login, not an API key, and does not work over SSH or in cloud sessions.
- On native Windows the OS sandbox does not run, so the hooks and the bot's own safeguards remain.
- The guard fails open on internal errors; the bot's code-level safeguards are the floor.
- Claude Code needs its own Claude subscription or Anthropic Console account.
FAQ
Claude Code: questions.
Can Claude Code build a trading bot?
Yes. With Super Algo Kit installed, Claude Code works as a team of specialist roles. They interview you, write a spec, build the code, backtest it with costs and paper test it. Agents never place live orders, and you switch on live trading yourself.
Does Super Algo Kit start automatically in Claude Code?
Yes. After you trust the folder, a session-start hook and the kit's conductor agent start it when you open the project. If it does not start, type /algo-start.
Can I talk to the kit by voice in Claude Code?
Yes. Type /voice, then hold Space while you speak. It needs a claude.ai login and a microphone on your own computer, and your audio goes to Anthropic for transcription. Never say keys or passwords aloud.
Can I switch from Claude Code to another tool mid-project?
Yes. Your progress lives in the .kit folder, not inside Claude Code. Open the same folder in another tool, type its start command, and the kit continues from the next step.
Is Super Algo Kit affiliated with Anthropic?
No. The Claude Code name is used only to say that Super Algo Kit works with it. There is no partnership or endorsement.
