desk-trade-lifecycle

desk-trade-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code from galleonlabs/hypergrok-trading-desk. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,774 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for managing one trade from its initial idea through evidence, risk approval, user approval, execution, reconciliation and review. It uses a proposal file as the single record of the trade.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open or update a position proposal, collect market evidence and risk sign-off, record user approval, coordinate execution, verify the exchange result and document the review.
Why use it?
It prevents trade steps from being skipped and keeps decisions, approvals and exchange results in one traceable record. It also assigns each stage to a specific desk role.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

desk-trade-lifecycle 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 12d 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.

Trade lifecycle

Every position change on the desk goes through the same seven stages, in order. Skipping one is a defect, not a shortcut. The Desk Lead keeps the lifecycle moving; the owner of each stage does the work.

idea -> evidence -> risk sign-off -> user approval -> execution -> reconciliation -> review
 DL       MA/RA        RM              user            ET            ET               TR

0. Open a proposal

Owner: Desk Lead. As soon as a trade idea appears (from the user, the Strategist, or a routine), assign an id HG-YYYYMMDD-NN (NN increments per day) and create /workspace/trading-desk/proposals/<id>.md:

# HG-20260816-01

- opened: 2026-08-16 14:02 UTC by user
- market: ETH-PERP  network: mainnet  account: 0xabc...def
- idea: long ETH on a retest of 3,000 with invalidation below 2,900 (user's idea)
- status: evidence

## evidence
## risk
## approval
## execution
## reconciliation
## review

Every later stage appends under its heading. The file is the single record of the trade; chat is context.

1. Evidence

Owner: Market Analyst, and Research Analyst when the idea depends on anything beyond exchange data.

The Desk Lead asks for exactly what sizing and execution will need: current mid, mark and oracle; funding now and predicted; open interest and 24h volume; depth within 5/10/25 bps for the intended size; the market's constraints (max leverage, margin tiers, size decimals, minimum order value); recent range and volatility. Research adds anything scheduled or breaking that touches the market. Both write their blocks under ## evidence with sources and UTC times.

Done when: the Risk Manager has every input it needs and nothing is older than a few minutes.

2. Risk sign-off

Owner: Risk Manager. Reads risk-limits.md, reads live account state, computes size from the user's stop and risk budget, checks every gate, and writes PASS or REJECT with exact ticket fields under ## risk (procedure and arithmetic in desk-risk-limits).

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.
