SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 233
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

vibe-trading 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 57 executable files (api_server.py, backtest/__init__.py, backtest/benchmark.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 412 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vibe-Trading

Professional finance research toolkit with AI-powered backtesting (10 engines), multi-agent teams, 90 specialized skills, the Alpha Zoo (462 pre-built quantitative alphas across qlib158 / alpha101 / gtja191 / academic / fundamental with one-line CLI benchmarking), and the Shadow Account loop — extract your implicit trading rules from a journal, backtest them across A股/港股/美股/crypto, then see where they would have served you better.

Setup

pip install vibe-trading-ai

Package name vs commands: The PyPI package is vibe-trading-ai. Once installed, you get:

Command Purpose
vibe-trading Interactive CLI / TUI
vibe-trading serve Launch FastAPI web server
vibe-trading-mcp Start MCP server (for Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, Cursor, etc.)

Add to your agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe-trading": {
      "command": "vibe-trading-mcp"
    }
  }
}

API Key Requirements

Core research MCP tools work with zero API keys for HK/US/Canada/crypto. After pip install, backtesting, market data, factor analysis, options pricing, chart patterns, web search, document reading, trade journal analysis, shadow-account extraction/backtest/report, the Alpha Zoo (462 pre-built alphas), and all 90 skills are ready to use. IBKR tools require a local TWS / IB Gateway session; run_swarm requires an LLM key.

Feature Key needed When
HK/US/Canada equities & crypto None Always free (yfinance / stooq / yahoo + OKX)
China A-share data None Free via akshare / baostock / tencent / sina / eastmoney / mootdx fallback (TUSHARE_TOKEN optional for premium quality)
Premium US fundamentals/quotes FINNHUB_API_KEY / ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY / TIINGO_API_KEY / FMP_API_KEY Only for optional-key providers (graceful fallback to free sources)
Multi-agent swarm (run_swarm) OPENAI_API_KEY + LANGCHAIN_MODEL_NAME Swarm spawns internal LLM workers

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.
