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

sepa-strategy 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.

SEPA Strategy Analysis

Analyze stocks using Mark Minervini's SEPA (Specific Entry Point Analysis) framework — a complete system for identifying high-probability growth stock entries with strict risk management.

Core philosophy: Buy the right stock, in the right stage, at a precise entry point, with strict risk controls. Win rate is ~50-55% — profitability comes from asymmetric risk/reward (small losses, large gains), not from predicting direction.

This skill is for educational/analytical purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice. Never execute trades based solely on this analysis.


Step 1: Gather Stock Data

Collect the following data for the stock. Use yfinance or any available market data tool.

Data needed Purpose
Current price Trend template check
50-day, 150-day, 200-day moving averages MA alignment verification
52-week high and low Price position check
200MA value from 1 month ago and 4-5 months ago MA200 slope direction
20-day average volume + today's volume Volume ratio analysis
Recent quarterly EPS (last 3-4 quarters) EPS growth & acceleration
Annual EPS (last 3 years) Long-term growth trend
Recent quarterly revenue (last 3-4 quarters) Revenue growth check
Gross margin and net margin trend Margin health
Institutional ownership changes (if available) Smart money signal
RS rating or 12-month relative performance vs S&P 500 Relative strength
Price history for pattern recognition VCP / chart pattern analysis

If certain data is unavailable, note it and proceed with what you have. Missing RS rating is a significant gap — flag it.


Step 2: Stage Analysis — Identify the Current Stage

Every stock cycles through four stages. Read references/stage-analysis.md for full details.

Determine which stage the stock is in:

Stage Characteristics Action
Stage 1 — Basing Price near 200MA, MA flat/declining, MAs tangled, low volume Do nothing, wait
Stage 2 — Advancing Making higher highs/lows, bullish MA alignment, volume on up days Only stage to buy
Stage 3 — Topping Wide swings at highs, frequent false breakouts, heavy volume without progress Reduce, no new positions
Stage 4 — Declining Below all MAs, bearish alignment, bounces are selling opportunities Full cash, stay away

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.
