Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00098 | $0.00935 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00049 | $0.00467 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00187 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00093 |
Grade A, and why
deploy-gate 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 10d 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Deploy Gate (Stage E — GATED)
Nothing deploys and no orders are placed until the human explicitly says "deploy + clean up" and names the specific finalist. This skill only runs then. Goal: make the live positions equal a fresh deploy of the chosen finalist today via delta trades (don't round-trip overlaps).
Pre-deploy gates (hard)
- Signal-freshness gate. A finalist whose alt-data series does not extend to the present with a working refresh path may NOT deploy, whatever its cert says — a stale rank series is a dead book.
- Stale pending orders FIRST. Check the live book for pending/
Pending User Approval → Canceledorders — they block new staging. Surface them; the human cancels in the UI. NoteautomaticOrderApprovalstate (default: leave as-is unless told to flip it at deploy).
The five steps
- Clone the finalist onto the live book FIRST —
clone_strategies_to_portfolio(source = finalist, target = live book), then field-verify the clone. This IS the "deploy": it sets the live book's strategies that the next step reconciles against.reconcile_portfolio_to_strategyhas nostrategy_sourcearg — it reconciles the live book against its own strategies, so the clone must happen first. If the finalist is the already-deployed live book unchanged, no clone is needed — say so. - Reconcile preview —
reconcile_portfolio_to_strategy({ portfolio_id: "<live>", mode: "delta" }). Preview-only — it never places orders. Returnstarget,current,orders(already increate_ordersshape), estimated cost, realized P&L, and wash-sale flags. Expect a single-tick target — the live strategy accretes the rest over daily rebalances. Say so; don't re-diagnose it as a bug. - Show the human the preview and get explicit approval. Sanity-check: orders touch only the delta
(overlaps untouched), costs sane,
target== a fresh deploy, and — for a participation fix — the target spans multiple names, not just one. - Stage the orders —
create_orders({ portfolio_id: "<live>", orders: <the orders array from step 2> }). Staged UNAPPROVED; the tool never submits to the broker. The human approves them manually in the NexusTrade UI — there is no approval tool and you cannot approve them. Options auto-stage as LIMIT. - Verify after fills — re-run the reconcile preview; the delta
ordersarray should be ~empty. Report fills, any remainder, realized P&L, wash-sale flags, and the resulting live participation (distinct names held).
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

deploy-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository austin-starks/Public-Portfolio-Challenge (44 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 935 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
