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

yfinance 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 7d 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.

yfinance

Overview

yfinance is an open-source Python wrapper for Yahoo Finance, providing global market data (US, HK, and Canadian stocks, ETFs, indices) including historical and real-time quotes. Completely free, no registration or API key required.

The project has a built-in yfinance DataLoader (backtest/loaders/yfinance_loader.py). When backtesting, set source: "yfinance" or source: "auto" to invoke it automatically.

For OHLCV bars in agent/swarm work, prefer the get_market_data tool when it is available. It routes through the project loader layer, normalizes symbols, removes malformed OHLC rows, and returns strict JSON. Use direct yfinance calls mainly for data outside OHLCV coverage such as company info, financial statements, options, holders, and insider transactions.

Deep Yahoo Interfaces (references/)

Beyond the yfinance package, the project ships a built-in Yahoo public-API client (backtest.loaders.yahoo_client) and two read-only agent tools that sit on top of it. These reach Yahoo's own unauthenticated JSON endpoints directly via requests (no yfinance install needed), share one throttled HTTP gate (Yahoo rate-limits by source IP), and handle the cookie+crumb handshake automatically. Each interface has its own reference doc — read the one you need rather than loading them all:

Doc Covers
yahoo_client.get_chart Direct v8 OHLCV bars (range or epoch window)
yahoo_client.get_quote_summary v10 quoteSummary modules (key stats, financials, ownership)
yahoo_client.get_options v7 option chain (expirations + calls/puts)
yahoo_client.search v1 instrument search by ticker/name
get_options_chain tool Agent tool: US options ladder envelope
get_stock_profile tool Agent tool: company profile/estimates/ownership envelope

What ships with it

6 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.
