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

tradingview-reader 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 6d 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 — 223 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TradingView Reader (Read-Only)

Reads TradingView's desktop macOS app for quotes, options chains, and chart state via opencli and a CDP attach to the running TradingView.app process. Powered by the tradingview plugin in this repo's opencli-plugins/tradingview tree (a separate plugin from opencli's built-in adapters, installed via opencli's monorepo subpath syntax).

This skill is read-only. Designed for analysis: pulling options chains, checking IV/greeks, capturing chart state. It does NOT place trades, post ideas, modify watchlists, or change chart layouts.

Headless alternative: for plain quotes, TA readouts, screeners, futures, or a greeks-free options chain, prefer the sibling tradingview-mcp skill (bundled MCP server, no desktop app, no CDP relaunch). Use this skill when you need greeks / per-strike IV skew, expiries with contract counts, or account-bound data (watchlists, alerts, charts, TV news).

Important: Unlike browser-based opencli readers (twitter, linkedin), this one talks directly to a running TradingView desktop app over Chrome DevTools Protocol. The user must (a) have TradingView.app installed, and (b) be logged in inside that app. The plugin handles relaunching with the debug port.

How it works: data commands harvest session cookies via CDP Storage.getCookies, then fire HTTP requests from Node directly. Page-context fetch is blocked by browser CORS preflight even from TradingView's own pages — the desktop app uses Electron's main process (Node network stack) to bypass this, and we replicate that path. No Browser Bridge extension required, no apps.yaml registration needed.


Step 1: Ensure opencli + Plugin Are Installed and Ready

Current environment status:

!`(command -v opencli && opencli tradingview status 2>&1 | head -5 && echo "READY" || echo "SETUP_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`

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.

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.
