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

news-research 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 12d 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.

News Research

Given news headlines, research across domains (politics, economics, finance, tech, AI), find connections, and analyze investment implications.

Vault Path

/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloudmd~obsidian/Documents/My_note

Input

User provides one or more headlines: /news-research <headline1>; <headline2>

Workflow

Step 1: Research Each Headline

For each provided headline:

  1. Search for related coverage using DuckDuckGo MCP:

    • Direct search for the headline
    • Search in specific domains: politics, economics, finance, tech, AI
    • Search for analysis and opinion pieces
  2. Summarize findings per domain:

    • Core facts and developments
    • Key highlights and non-obvious insights
    • Expert opinions if found

Step 2: Cross-Domain Analysis

  1. Identify connections between the news items across domains:

    • How does a political event affect technology?
    • How does a tech development affect financial markets?
    • What second-order effects exist?
  2. Search for related developments in adjacent domains that the user may not have considered

Step 3: Investment Analysis

Analyze implications for:

  1. Short-term (1-7 days):

    • Immediate market reactions
    • Sentiment shifts
    • Specific sectors/stocks affected
  2. Mid-term (1-3 months):

    • Industry trend implications
    • Regulatory impacts
    • Supply chain effects
  3. Long-term (6-12+ months):

    • Structural changes
    • New market opportunities
    • Technology adoption curves

Focus on: US stock market (specific sectors/companies) and Bitcoin/crypto.

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.
