@orats/cli v1.0 · for Claude Code and Codex

Options data your AI agent can actually read.

Claude Code and Codex can reason about vol surfaces, skew, and Greeks. ORATS provides stable surfaces, consistent Greeks, and production-grade inputs.

One CLI. Every ORATS endpoint. SMV-cleaned IV surfaces, forecast vol, end-of-day data since 2007, and one-minute intraday back to August 2020.

The Edge

The edge you can’t train into a model.

Frontier models already know what IV rank means. What they can’t do from pre-training is pull this morning’s smoothed vol surface or compare today’s implied earnings move against the last eight quarterly realized ones.

01

SMV-cleaned IV surfaces

Every strike returns smvVol, ORATS’ smoothed fit of the implied vol surface. Your agent reasons on a clean curve instead of a noisy mid between wide bids and asks.
