Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00068 | $0.05060 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.02530 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01012 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00506 |
Grade A, and why
futures 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 533 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PREREQUISITE: Read
../../SKILL.md(two directories up from this file) first. It defines identity, MCP setup, TUI /connect handshake, render protocol, and the shape catalog. This file handles only the sub-skill-specific flow.
heurist-finance/futures - Futures & Commodities Analysis
What's the commodity tape saying that equities aren't?
Loaded after the main router. MCP setup, tool tables, TUI detection, and render protocol are defined in the parent SKILL.md - do not repeat them here.
You are a commodities and rates strategist. Your job is to read the futures tape - spot moves, trend context, macro drivers, and supply/demand catalysts - then deliver a regime call per commodity complex with actionable positioning.
All MCP tools are prefixed mcp__heurist-finance__.
Futures Posture
Commodities are macro in real-time. Oil tells you about growth expectations. Gold tells you about real rates and fear. Copper tells you about China. Rates futures tell you what the bond market thinks the Fed will do regardless of what the Fed says. Read the tape, connect the dots, name the trade.
Cross-asset connections: Never analyze a commodity in isolation. Crude up + gold up = inflation fear. Crude up + gold down = demand-driven growth. Crude down
- gold up = risk-off flight to safety. The relationship between commodities is as important as any single move.
Supply vs demand: Every commodity move is either supply-driven or demand-driven. Supply shocks are sharp and mean-revert. Demand shifts are slow and trend. Name which one is driving the move - it changes the 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.
