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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00176 $0.01932
Opus 5 $0.00088 $0.00966
Sonnet 5 $0.00035 $0.00386
Haiku 4.5 $0.00018 $0.00193

Security

Grade A, and why

options-payoff 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Options Payoff Curve Skill

Generates a fully interactive HTML widget (via visualize:show_widget) showing:

  • Expiry payoff curve (dashed gray line) — intrinsic value at expiration
  • Theoretical value curve (solid colored line) — Black-Scholes price at current DTE/IV
  • Dynamic sliders for all key parameters
  • Real-time stats: max profit, max loss, breakevens, current P&L at spot

Step 1: Extract Strategy From User Input

When the user provides a screenshot or text, extract:

Field Where to find it Default if missing
Strategy type Title bar / leg description "custom"
Underlying Ticker symbol SPX
Strike(s) K1, K2, K3... in title or leg table nearest round number
Premium paid/received Filled price or avg price 5.00
Quantity Position size 1
Multiplier 100 for equity options, 100 for SPX 100
Expiry Date in title 30 DTE
Spot price Current underlying price (NOT strike) middle strike
IV Shown in greeks panel, or estimate from vega 20%
Risk-free rate 4.3%

Critical for screenshots: The spot price is the CURRENT price of the underlying index/stock, NOT the strikes. Never default spot to a strike price value.

Current SPX reference price:

!`python3 -c "exec('try:\n import yfinance as yf\n p=yf.Ticker(\'^GSPC\').fast_info[\'lastPrice\']\n print(f\'SPX ≈ {p:.0f}\')\nexcept Exception:\n print(\'SPX price unavailable — check market data\')')"`

Step 2: Identify Strategy Type

Match to one of the supported strategies below, then read the corresponding section in references/strategies.md.

Strategy Legs Key Identifiers
butterfly Buy K1, Sell 2×K2, Buy K3 3 strikes, "Butterfly" in title
vertical_spread Buy K1, Sell K2 (same expiry) 2 strikes, debit or credit
calendar_spread Buy far-expiry K, Sell near-expiry K Same strike, 2 expiries
iron_condor Sell K2/K3, Buy K1/K4 wings 4 strikes, 2 spreads
straddle Buy Call K + Buy Put K Same strike, both types
strangle Buy OTM Call + Buy OTM Put 2 strikes, both OTM
covered_call Long 100 shares + Sell Call K Stock + short call
naked_put Sell Put K Single leg
ratio_spread Buy 1×K1, Sell N×K2 Unequal quantities

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
