About this skill
What does the canslim-screener skill do?

Screen US stocks using William O'Neil's CANSLIM growth stock methodology. Use when user requests CANSLIM stock screening, growth stock analysis, momentum stock identification, or wants to find stocks with strong earnings and price momentum following O'Neil's investment system.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills --skill canslim-screener --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills, a repository with 118 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
