chart-annotation

chart-annotation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ginlix-ai/LangAlpha. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,444 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for drawing lines, zones, trendlines, and event markers directly on a stock-price chart.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps annotate live stock charts with technical levels, trends, zones, and events, either in the chart view or through a clickable preview.
Why use it?
It makes important price levels, patterns, and events easier to see than describing them only in text.

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

chart-annotation 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 5d 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.

Chart Annotation Skill

When to use

You want to call out a technical level, a pattern, or an event on a stock's price chart. Drawing directly on the chart is almost always clearer than describing it in prose. Reach for this skill whenever you would otherwise say "look at the level around 205" or "notice the downtrend from October to December".

MarketView is the app's live, TradingView-style price chart page (pan, zoom, switch timeframes). You do not need the user to be on it to annotate. If they are, the drawing appears on their live chart immediately. If they are in any other chat, the same drawing renders as a clickable preview card that expands into MarketView — so annotate freely whenever it helps, then mention the user can click it to open the full chart.

This skill provides two tools:

  • draw_chart_annotation — add a single annotation to a chart.
  • manage_chart_annotations — list, remove, or clear annotations.

Interactive chart vs. a Python chart (deliverable)

There are two ways to show price information visually — pick by what the user needs:

  • This skill (interactive). Annotations land on the live, pannable MarketView chart (or a preview card that opens it). Best when the user just wants to see and explore a level, pattern, or event themselves — quick, in-the-moment, nothing to hand off.
  • A Python chart (deliverable). A static image you render with code and embed in a report or document. Best when the output is a deliverable the user keeps, shares, or exports — a research note, PDF, or deck.

The two aren't exclusive: draw on the live chart for a quick look, render a Python chart when it belongs in a written artifact, or do both.

Charts are identified by SYMBOL:timeframe

Every annotation belongs to a chart identified by its ticker + timeframe (e.g. NVDA:1day) — that pair is the chart's id:

  • Pass the same symbol + timeframe again to add to / edit that same chart (annotations accumulate on it).
  • Use a different ticker or timeframe to start a separate chart — so you can draw several charts in one turn (e.g. AAPL:1day and AAPL:1hour, or AAPL:1day and MSFT:1day), each rendered as its own preview.

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.
