Finance Skills is a collection of agent skills for financial analysis and trading, covering activities such as company valuation, earnings research, market analysis, and options calculations. It is for users who want coding agents to perform structured finance workflows, and the catalogue contains its skills, plugins, instructions, and MCP integration.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00152 | $0.02084 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00076 | $0.01042 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00417 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00208 |
Grade D, and why
telegram-reader scanned grade D with 3 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 5d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
| macOS / Linux | `curl -sSL https://docs.iyear.me/tdl/install.sh \| sudo bash` | Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Telegram News Skill (Read-Only)
Reads Telegram channels and groups for financial news and market research using tdl, a Telegram CLI tool.
This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: reading channel messages, monitoring financial news channels, and exporting message history. It does NOT support sending messages, joining/leaving channels, or any write operations.
Step 1: Ensure tdl Is Installed
Current environment status:
!`(command -v tdl && tdl version 2>&1 | head -3 || echo "TDL_NOT_INSTALLED") 2>/dev/null`
If the status above shows a version number, tdl is installed — skip to Step 2.
If TDL_NOT_INSTALLED, install tdl based on the user's platform:
| Platform | Install Command |
|---|---|
| macOS / Linux | curl -sSL https://docs.iyear.me/tdl/install.sh | sudo bash |
| macOS (Homebrew) | brew install telegram-downloader |
| Linux (Termux) | pkg install tdl |
| Linux (AUR) | yay -S tdl |
| Linux (Nix) | nix-env -iA nixos.tdl |
| Go (any platform) | go install github.com/iyear/tdl@latest |
Ask the user which installation method they prefer. Default to Homebrew on macOS, curl script on Linux.
Step 2: Ensure tdl Is Authenticated
Current auth status:
!`(tdl chat ls --limit 1 2>&1 >/dev/null && echo "AUTH_OK" || echo "AUTH_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null`
If AUTH_OK, skip to Step 3.
If AUTH_NEEDED, guide the user through login. Login requires interactive input — the user must enter their phone number and verification code manually.
Login methods
Method A: QR Code (recommended — fastest)
tdl login -T qr
A QR code will be displayed in the terminal. The user scans it with their Telegram mobile app (Settings > Devices > Link Desktop Device).
Method B: Phone + Code
tdl login -T code
The user enters their phone number, then the verification code sent to their Telegram app.
Method C: Import from Telegram Desktop
What ships with it
2 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.
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.

telegram-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository himself65/finance-skills (3,279 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 152 tokens to every session and 2,084 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
