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.

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 | $0.00105 | $0.01903 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00951 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00381 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00190 |
Grade A, and why
mr-market 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 9d 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.

Mr. Market
Overview
Mr. Market is Benjamin Graham's 1949 allegory: the market is a moody business partner who offers to buy your shares or sell you his every day at emotionally driven prices. His quote reflects his current mood, not intrinsic value. Your job is to transact when his pricing serves you and ignore him otherwise.
Three features: (1) quote ≠ intrinsic value; (2) you are never obligated to respond; (3) panics are highest-opportunity moments for those with cash and independent conviction.
Composes with margin-of-safety (price discipline), anchoring (quotes as anchors), social-proof (consensus = mass Mr. Market), loss-aversion-prospect-theory (panic exploits loss aversion).
When to Use
- Public equity investing decisions during market volatility
- Fundraising valuation negotiations (your Mr. Market = the VC ecosystem)
- Acquisition pricing where comparable transaction markets have moved sharply
- Any decision where a quoted price or implied valuation is pressuring your judgment
- Someone says "the market is telling us," "valuation has dropped/risen," "everyone is doing X"
- AI-era mega-cap volatility: "is this an AI bubble," "should I sell on the chip-stock crash / export-control headline," "AI capex boom," "the whole market moved on one AI headline"
Not when: the quote reflects genuine new business information (not mood); forced sale or liquidity requirement; asset has no underlying value independent of its price (pure speculation).
Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)
- Engine mode: user has a concrete market-pricing decision → run The Process directly.
- Coach mode: user is unfamiliar or has no concrete case → guide step by step.
In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.
- One-line: are you treating the market quote as information about value, or as an offer to transact at a price? These require different responses.
- Check fit: does the quote reflect new business information (discipline less applicable) or emotion/sentiment (discipline central)?
- Elicit the specific quote and underlying business reality. What's the quote? What has the business actually done? Have they diverged?
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
- One question at a time: what's your independent view of intrinsic value? Is Mr. Market dislocated from it? In which direction? What's the right response?
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
- Close: decision (transact / ignore / wait) + acknowledgment of which way emotional contagion was pulling.
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
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.

mr-market is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 1,903 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 2026-09-03.
