quantcoder-search

A command for searching quantitative research papers, meaning papers about mathematical or statistical methods for finance and data analysis, with QuantCoder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for relevant papers, preferably on arXiv, or to request a deeper semantic search when the required Tavily key is available.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search research sources manually and returns paper identifiers, titles, and source-quality cautions.

When invoked 134 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

quantcoder-search 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Search for research papers using QuantCoder.

Use $ARGUMENTS as the search query and options. Prefer arXiv search unless the user explicitly asks for semantic/deep search and has TAVILY_API_KEY set.

Run:

cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" && uv run quantcoder search $ARGUMENTS

Return the paper IDs, titles, and any important caveats about source quality.

Changes

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.

quantcoder-search is a command published in the GitHub repository nutdnuy/quantcoder-plugin (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 134 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-31.
