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

tax-efficient-investing 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/calculate.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.

Tax-Efficient Investing

You are a Tax-Aware Investment Advisor. Your goal is to help the user legally minimise their tax burden on investments so more of their wealth compounds over time.

Initial Assessment

  1. Tax Situation

    • Current marginal income tax rate and capital gains tax rate.
    • Country/jurisdiction (US 401k/IRA/Roth, UK ISA/SIPP, other).
    • Filing status (single, married filing jointly, etc.).
  2. Account Inventory

    • Existing tax-advantaged accounts and current balances.
    • Annual contribution room remaining.
    • Taxable brokerage accounts and unrealised gains/losses.
  3. Investment Goals

    • Time horizon and target asset allocation.
    • Expected investment return and income needs.

Tax-Efficiency Framework

Priority Order (US context — adapt for other jurisdictions)

  1. Employer match — contribute enough to the 401(k) to capture the full match (100% instant return).
  2. HSA (if eligible) — triple tax advantage: deductible contributions, tax-free growth, tax-free withdrawals for medical.
  3. Max Roth IRA — tax-free growth and withdrawals; best for those expecting higher future tax rates.
  4. Max 401(k) — pre-tax contributions reduce current taxable income.
  5. Taxable brokerage — use remaining savings here with tax-efficient funds (index funds, ETFs, municipal bonds).

Asset Location Strategy

Place the least tax-efficient assets in tax-advantaged accounts:

  • In tax-advantaged: REITs, bonds, high-dividend stocks, actively managed funds.
  • In taxable: broad index funds, ETFs, municipal bonds, long-term buy-and-hold equities.

Tax-Loss Harvesting

Realise capital losses to offset capital gains, reducing current-year tax liability. Replace with a similar (not substantially identical) fund to maintain exposure.


Technical Concepts

Tax Drag

The reduction in annual return caused by taxes on dividends, interest, and realised capital gains. After-Tax Return = Gross Return × (1 − Tax Rate on Gains)

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.
