    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

account-opening-compliance 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 13d 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.

Account Opening Compliance

Core Concepts

CIP Integration in Account Opening

The Customer Identification Program is the first compliance gate in any account opening workflow. Under USA PATRIOT Act Section 326 and its implementing regulations, a firm must verify the identity of each customer before or at the time of account opening. The account opening process must be designed so that no account becomes active until CIP is satisfied.

Verification timing. The regulations permit two approaches: (1) verify identity before the account is opened, which is the most conservative approach and prevents any transactional activity until verification is complete; or (2) verify identity within a reasonable time after the account is opened, provided the firm has procedures to manage the risk of incomplete verification (such as restricting account activity until verification is complete). Most firms implementing digital onboarding choose the first approach — identity verification occurs in real time during the application flow, and the application cannot proceed until verification returns a pass result. The second approach — opening with restricted activity pending verification — is used primarily for paper-based or advisor-assisted workflows where verification cannot occur in real time, and requires the firm to document the risk mitigation procedures (no trading, no disbursements, no margin until verification completes).

Database verification is the primary method for digital account opening. The onboarding system sends applicant data (name, date of birth, address, SSN/TIN) to an identity verification vendor (LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Alloy, Equifax, TransUnion) via API. The vendor cross-references the data against credit bureau records, public records, and government databases and returns a pass, fail, or inconclusive result, typically within seconds. Database verification satisfies CIP's non-documentary verification requirement.

Documentary verification serves as a fallback when database verification is inconclusive or unavailable. The applicant uploads a photo of a government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, state ID). OCR extracts data fields, and the system may compare the document photo to a selfie for liveness detection. Documentary verification is slower and introduces friction but is necessary for applicants who cannot be verified through database methods — non-US persons, thin-file individuals, and cases where database results are ambiguous.
