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

stock-brief 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 1mo 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 — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stock brief

Give a tight, decision-useful read on one ticker from AlphaAI's enriched feed. Not a price quote — a news brief: what's been happening, who's buying or selling, and what to keep an eye on.

Steps

  1. Resolve the ticker. If the user gave a company name, not a symbol, call alphai_tickers(q=...) to find it. If alphai_ticker_news returns unknown_ticker=true, tell the user and stop — don't invent coverage.
  2. Pull the ticker feed. Call alphai_ticker_news(ticker, collapse_stories=true). collapse_stories folds syndicated reprints into one row each and adds a sources_count corroboration signal — prefer it for a clean brief. Insider news is included by default; keep it.
  3. Optional context. If the user wants the wider tape, call alphai_trending(limit=5) and note any market-level story that touches this name or its sector.
  4. Deep-dive on demand. If one story clearly drives the brief and the user wants detail, fetch it with alphai_article(uid) for the full enrichment (ticker analysis, key entities). The article body is not served — work from the enrichment and summary.

Output

Keep it to a screen. Structure:

  • One-line read — the single most important thing about this name right now.
  • Top stories — 3–5 bullets, each: headline · relevance score · one-clause "why it matters". Lead with the highest relevance_score.
  • Insider activity — any Form 4 / 13F rows from the feed: who, buy or sell, size if given. "No notable insider activity in the window" is a valid line.
  • Watch next — 1–2 concrete things that would change the picture.

Guardrails

  • Every story carries a 1–10 relevance_score; lead with the high ones and say the score so the user can calibrate.
  • This is news, not advice. Don't issue buy/sell calls or price targets — summarize what the reporting says and let the user decide.
  • If the feed is thin, say so plainly rather than padding. A short honest brief beats a long speculative one.

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.
