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

onboarding 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 6d 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.

Onboarding Skill

Purpose

Help new users set up their investment profile through a natural, conversational flow. The agent gathers preferences and stores them as rich, descriptive text that future conversations can reference for personalized advice.

This skill provides 5 tools:

  • get_user_data - Read user data
  • update_user_data - Create or update user data
  • remove_user_data - Delete user data
  • manage_workspaces - Create workspaces (via action="create")
  • ptc_agent - Dispatch a research question to a workspace

You should call these tools directly instead of using ExecuteCode tool.


Tool Reference

Tool 1: get_user_data

Retrieve user data by entity type.

Entity Description entity_id
all Complete user data (profile, preferences, watchlists with items, portfolio) Not used
profile User info (name, timezone, locale) Not used
preferences All preferences (risk, investment, agent) Not used
watchlists List of all watchlists Not used
watchlist_items Items in a specific watchlist Optional watchlist_id
portfolio All portfolio holdings Not used
# Get complete user data (recommended at start of onboarding)
get_user_data(entity="all")

Tool 2: update_user_data

Create or update user data (upsert semantics). Preference entities merge by default.

Entity Description
profile User info (name, timezone, locale, onboarding_completed)
risk_preference Risk tolerance settings
investment_preference Investment style settings
agent_preference Agent behavior settings
watchlist Create or update a watchlist
watchlist_item Add or update item in watchlist
portfolio_holding Add or update a portfolio holding

All preference fields accept any descriptive string. Extra fields are allowed and persisted.

# Good - rich context that helps future conversations
update_user_data(entity="risk_preference", data={
    "risk_tolerance": "Moderate - comfortable with market swings but avoids concentrated bets",
    "notes": "Lost money in 2022 tech crash, now prefers diversification"
})

# Bad - keyword with no context
update_user_data(entity="risk_preference", data={"risk_tolerance": "medium"})

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.
