About futu-crypto
A skill for using the official Futu CLI to perform crypto-trading operations. It defines runtime, authentication, account-selection, and confirmation requirements, including safeguards for real-asset orders.
Key features
- 01Uses the official Futu CLI
- 02Checks CLI availability and login
- 03Requires explicit account selection when needed
- 04Handles paginated list and history queries
- 05Requires confirmation for crypto orders
Use cases
- 01Check CLI authentication before operations
- 02Choose an account for crypto commands
- 03Retrieve paginated crypto history
- 04Prepare a crypto order for confirmation

Details
From the project READMEFutu Crypto
Use the locally available futu CLI for crypto trading. Answer in the user's language by default. Keep commands, flags, JSON fields, pairs, and error codes in their original form.
Futu CLI runtime
This skill requires the official futu CLI. macOS and Linux install it to $HOME/.futu/bin/futu. Windows installs futu.exe to %LOCALAPPDATA%\FutuCLI\bin. See the futu-cli install guide.
Probe futu before any business command.
macOS / Linux:
if command -v futu >/dev/null 2>&1; then futu auth status --format json; elif [ -x "$HOME/.futu/bin/futu" ]; then "$HOME/.futu/bin/futu" auth status --format json; else echo '__FUTU_CLI_MISSING__'; fi
Windows, including Git Bash: do not use that bash block or install.sh. install.sh rejects Windows. Use this PowerShell call instead:
$exe = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'FutuCLI\bin\futu.exe'
if (Get-Command futu -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { futu auth status --format json } elseif (Test-Path $exe) { & $exe auth status --format json } else { Write-Output '__FUTU_CLI_MISSING__' }
__FUTU_CLI_MISSING__ means stop. Do not run an account or trading command yet. Ask the user before installing. After they agree:
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FutunnOpen/futu-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
Windows PowerShell. The official Windows installer supports amd64:
iwr -UseBasicParsing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FutunnOpen/futu-cli/main/scripts/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1
If the Windows installer reports an unsupported architecture, stop and relay that message. Never run either installer without explicit consent. Then run futu version. If the current shell still cannot see futu, call $HOME/.futu/bin/futu or %LOCALAPPDATA%\FutuCLI\bin\futu.exe directly.
To update an already installed futu CLI, use futu update --check and, after the user agrees, futu update.
Usage rules
- Follow Futu CLI runtime before any account or trading command. If the probe prints
__FUTU_CLI_MISSING__, stop untilfutuis installed. - When the probe succeeds, its business output is
futu auth status --format json. If that returnsnot logged in, tell the user to runfutu auth loginand continue only after login. Do not run the business command directly. - Invocation convention for this skill: when calling the
futuCLI from Bash, always append the hidden internal marker--source skillat the end of the command. With--source skill, the CLI automatically detects hosts such as Codex or Claude Code and reportsagent_name. Append--agent codexor--agent claude_codeonly when auto-detection fails and the CLI is confirmed to support it. Do not include these internal markers in commands shown to the user. - Do not read or print token file contents. The CLI attaches the OAuth Bearer token automatically.
PERMISSION_DENIEDis a server-side permission denial. Do not explain it as a missing token. - Use the smallest parameter set when generating commands. If the CLI already has a default and the user did not specify a value, do not pass that flag explicitly.
- Do not assume a default account is configured. Omit
--accountonly when this turn has already confirmed a default account throughfutu auth statusor config. Otherwise, list crypto accounts or ask the user to choose one, and pass--accountexplicitly. - Add
--format jsonwhen the output must be parsed, when extracting account, order, or fill fields, or when a follow-up action depends on the result. Commands meant only for the user to copy and run can use the default table output. - List and history queries do not paginate automatically. If the JSON response has
completed=falseand apage_flag, pass that value as--page-flagto fetch the next page. - Crypto orders affect real assets. Confirm the account, pair, side, quantity, price, or amount before executing.
- Do not use
--cash-qtyon sell commands, even if help text shows that flag. - Do not guess a second confirmation on behalf of the CLI or the server. If the CLI asks for confirmation, relay it as-is and wait for explicit user consent before entering
y.

- When choosing or explaining pairs, currencies, order types, order statuses, fill or order fields, and errors, read dictionaries.
