creative

creative is a command for coding agents from austron24/kalshi-trader-plugin. It costs 13 tokens per session (858 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts parallel research agents to find unusual or creative information about events already reviewed by an earlier /alpha scan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find researched events, start one creative researcher for each event, and report where the resulting research was saved.
Why use it?
It expands research beyond the initial scan while keeping the findings linked to the events and files already identified.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

creative scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creative Research Scanner

You are initiating creative/unconventional research on events that were previously researched by /alpha. Your job is to:

  1. Identify all events that were researched in the previous /alpha run
  2. Spawn parallel creative-researcher agents for each event
  3. Report back with pointers to all generated research

Phase 1: Identify Events from /alpha

Look at the conversation history to find the output from the previous /alpha command. The /alpha output lists all research files created, like:

research/events/KXCPI-25DEC/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-initial-research.md
research/events/KXFED-26JAN/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-initial-research.md
...

Extract all the event tickers from these file paths.

Alternatively, if the conversation doesn't have clear /alpha output, scan the research/events/ directory:

ls research/events/

For each event folder, that's an event to research.

Guard: If no events found:

No research found in `research/events/`. Run `/alpha` first to scan for opportunities and generate initial research.

Exit the command if no events exist.

Phase 2: Spawn Creative Research Agents

For each event identified, spawn a creative-researcher subagent using the Task tool.

CRITICAL: Parallel Blocking Execution

To run agents in parallel (concurrent) but blocking (main agent waits for all to complete):

  1. Make ALL Task calls in a SINGLE message - This triggers parallel execution
  2. Do NOT use run_in_background - Omitting this makes calls blocking
  3. The main agent automatically waits for all agents to complete before continuing

For each agent:

  • subagent_type: "creative-researcher"
  • prompt: "Conduct creative/unconventional research on Kalshi event [EVENT_TICKER]. The event research folder is at research/events/[EVENT_TICKER]/. Read the existing initial research first, then explore non-obvious angles, unusual correlations, contrarian perspectives, and obscure data sources. Create a file named research/events/[EVENT_TICKER]/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-creative-research.md with your findings."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

creative is a command published in the GitHub repository austron24/kalshi-trader-plugin (12 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 858 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
