LangAlpha is an agent workspace for researching financial markets and supporting investment decisions through persistent research, news analysis, and parallel subagents. It is for investors who want to develop and update trading theses over time, including generating long-short pair-trade ideas. The catalogue entries provide the skills, instructions, MCP servers, and plugin that make up its agent workflow.
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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 643 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.
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 | $0.00026 | $0.07297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.03648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.01459 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00730 |
Grade A, and why
initiating-coverage 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.

Initiating Coverage
Create institutional-quality equity research initiation reports through a structured 5-task workflow. Each task must be executed separately with verified inputs.
Overview
This skill produces comprehensive first-time coverage reports following institutional standards (JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley format). Tasks are executed individually, each verifying prerequisites before proceeding.
Default Font: Times New Roman throughout all documents (unless user specifies otherwise).
⚠️ CRITICAL: One Task at a Time
THIS SKILL OPERATES IN SINGLE-TASK MODE ONLY.
If User Requests Full Pipeline
When user requests:
- "Create a coverage initiation report for [Company]"
- "Write an initiation report for [Company]"
- "Do the entire equity research process for [Company]"
- "Complete all 5 tasks for [Company]"
- Any request that implies running multiple tasks or the entire workflow
REQUIRED RESPONSE:
-
Ask which specific task to perform:
I can help you create an equity research initiation report for [Company]. This involves 5 separate tasks that need to be completed individually: 1. Company Research - Research business, management, industry 2. Financial Modeling - Build projection model 3. Valuation Analysis - DCF and comparable companies 4. Chart Generation - Create 25-35 charts 5. Report Assembly - Compile final report Which task would you like to start with? -
When user explicitly requests all tasks together:
I understand you'd like to complete the entire initiation report pipeline. Currently, this skill supports executing one task at a time, which allows for better quality control and review at each stage. We're working on a seamless end-to-end workflow that will make this process more automated, but for now, we'll need to complete each task separately. Would you like to start with Task 1 (Company Research)? -
Never automatically assume which task to start - always ask user to confirm.

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.

initiating-coverage is a skill published in the GitHub repository ginlix-ai/LangAlpha (1,727 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 7,297 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
