# Keel agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Keel playbooks for AI agents: compare Keel backtests and check whether the difference is real, check Keel live monitoring and account status, compose and backtest a strategy with AI on Keel. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Keel from your AI agent, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/keel/skills/essentials.md): Connects your agent to Keel and checks which account it is signed in as before any research, backtest or library work. It asks before anything that runs, forks, shares or changes state.
- [Compare Keel backtests and check whether the difference is real](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/keel/skills/backtest-comparison-review.md): Compares existing Keel backtests side by side, traces where results diverge and tells you whether each gap is a real effect or a setup artefact. It only reads runs and asks before creating anything new.
- [Check Keel live monitoring and account status](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/keel/skills/live-monitoring-status-check.md): Reviews what your Keel strategies are running, what is blocked and why, and what your plan and ownership allow. It reads the state first and asks before changing anything.
- [Compose and backtest a strategy with AI on Keel](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/keel/skills/strategy-compose-and-backtest.md): Turns a strategy idea into a composed Keel strategy, runs one backtest on your account after you approve it, and reads the result against the question you started with.
- [Fork a Keel strategy and review what changed](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/keel/skills/strategy-fork-and-diff.md): Forks an existing Keel strategy or library entry into a new version, then reads the diff line by line so unintended changes are caught before anything is shared. It asks before creating or editing anything.

### What is a Keel agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Keel skill describes one job, which Keel tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Keel skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Keel.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Keel; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Keel MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Keel MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Keel MCP setup guide covers every client.
