options-check

options-check is a skill for Claude Code from haiyunsky/hpsilab-quant-finance-mcp. It costs 63 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for reading how options markets are priced and positioned for a US stock or ETF. It reports implied volatility, skew, expected moves, max pain, and notable call and put price levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check implied volatility, IV rank, skew, expected moves, max pain, gamma walls, call and put walls, or possible price pinning around an expiry.
Why use it?
It helps explain whether options appear relatively expensive or cheap and where market positioning may act as support or resistance, without presenting that information as a price target.

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

options-check 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Options check

Use the HPSILab connector's tools. If they are not available, tell the user to connect HPSILab (https://hpsilab.com/connect) and stop; never invent figures.

  1. Get one ticker per call (convert company names yourself; ask if ambiguous).
  2. Call get_iv_radar for how expensive options are: at-the-money and 30-day implied volatility, IV rank and percentile, the 25-delta risk reversal (skew), the squeeze score and the regime.
  3. Call get_option_pressure for the nearest weekly or monthly expiry: max pain, the gamma wall, the call and put walls, the weekly expected move, the likely weekly high, the expiry close range and the squeeze target.
  4. Present one compact table with the figures, the expiry each one refers to and the data date. Then explain in plain words: what the IV level and rank mean for option prices, which way the skew leans, and which strikes act as support or resistance.
  5. If a field comes back unavailable (for example open interest outside market hours), say so and quote the tool's reason instead of estimating it.

These describe how the options market is priced and positioned. They are not a price target or a directional call; say so if the user treats them that way. Do not recommend a trade.

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.
