fomo-kernel

A detailed skill for researching investments and recommending actions, including calculating how a proposed trade would affect a recorded portfolio ledger.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for buy, add, reduce, trade-review, brokerage-statement, and position-review decisions, including testing a trade premise such as buying a ticker and quantity.
Why use it?
It defines a consistent path for separating market research from portfolio calculations and limits claims when information is missing.

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

fomo-kernel 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 32 executable files (engine/answer_provenance.py, engine/book_refresh.py, engine/card_renderer.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

fomo-kernel

Use relevant evidence and the recorded book when portfolio consequences matter; then recommend what to do. Missing inputs narrow claims, not Skill engagement. references/agent-boundaries.md holds throughout.

Answer a live decision

Use consider when the user supplies a trade premise and asks what it does to a recorded book. It is the deterministic portfolio-consequence path, never a prerequisite for research, discovery, or a non-portfolio recommendation.

Commands run from this skill's own directory. Product state is reached only through the engine/review.py CLI — never another engine/* script, never a direct engine import.

python3 engine/review.py consider --premise '{"ticker":"NVDA","side":"buy","qty":20}' --language <tag>

A premise needs a ticker, a side, and one of qty or notional. Everything else is optional and engine-defaulted: an unstated price becomes the engine's own observed close, an unstated date reads as "if I did this next". schemas/trade-premise.schema.json is the field contract. The book comes from the user's recorded ledger — pass normalized trade CSVs as positional arguments only when no ledger exists yet.

Pass --language as the tag the user is writing in; an unsupported tag falls back to en. Keep conversing in their language and never hand-translate engine copy.

First run only: python3 engine/review.py doctor. The engine fail-soft degrades without its optional dependencies — silently dropping current prices and market context — so verify once rather than mid-answer.

The response is the contract

The payload is the authority for portfolio facts. External research is optional and relevance-driven; when used, keep it sourced and separate from engine facts.

  • evaluation.consequence — the book before and after the trade, and the delta: weights, largest position, top three, sector and AI share, cash. Also disclosures, and the holdings the numbers were measured without.
  • evaluation.rule_collisions — the user's own rules this trade touches, each with the rule_effect naming how it moves.
  • challenge — this call's must_state (facts the answer owes, with anchors), may_state (owed on no call — state one only when it decides this call), machine_state (machines only, never rendered), rule_effects (must_convey / must_not_convey per rule), quote_verbatim (the user's own words, never relabeled as an outside source), unchecked (never enumerated), and case_required.
  • disclosures_display — each disclosure as a sentence in the user's language. Use it as an end-block line rather than translating a key.
  • prior_decision — present only when the user already resolved one earlier consideration of this same ticker: their own stored words, and what they reported doing about it, never proof they did it. Use prior_decision only when it changes the current lead judgment, evidence requirement, process action, or a decision-changing question; otherwise ignore it.

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

fomo-kernel is a skill published in the GitHub repository atomchung/fomo-kernel (9 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,903 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
