Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, 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 Excessive Agency · line 19 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.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00202 | $0.05466 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00101 | $0.02733 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00040 | $0.01093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00547 |
Grade A, and why
private-placements 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 11d 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.

Private Placements and Exempt Offerings
Regulatory status current as of June 2026 — verify effective dates, dollar thresholds, and pending rulemakings against current SEC/FINRA/FinCEN sources before advising.
Core Concepts
The Registration Baseline and the Exemption Architecture
Securities Act §5 prohibits offering or selling a security without an effective registration statement. Every private placement rests on an exemption from that requirement. The statutory exemption is §4(a)(2) — "transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering" — a facts-and-circumstances standard shaped by SEC v. Ralston Purina (investors must be able to "fend for themselves"). Because §4(a)(2) alone is uncertain, most issuers rely on Regulation D (17 CFR 230.500-508), a non-exclusive safe harbor. Losing the safe harbor does not automatically mean a §5 violation, but the issuer must then defend the offering under raw §4(a)(2), a materially weaker position. State blue-sky registration is preempted for Rule 506 offerings because they are "covered securities" under Securities Act §18(b)(4)(F), though states retain notice-filing and antifraud authority.
Rule 506(b) — The Traditional Private Placement (17 CFR 230.506(b))
- No general solicitation or general advertising (Rule 502(c)). The issuer (and anyone acting on its behalf, including a placement agent) must have a pre-existing, substantive relationship with offerees, or use another means that does not constitute general solicitation.
- Unlimited accredited investors plus up to 35 non-accredited purchasers (per offering, counted under Rule 501(e)), each of whom must be "sophisticated" — alone or with a purchaser representative, capable of evaluating the merits and risks (Rule 506(b)(2)(ii)).
- If any non-accredited investor purchases, the issuer must furnish the disclosure specified in Rule 502(b) — financial statements and information comparable to a registered offering — which is why most 506(b) offerings in practice are accredited-only.
- Self-certification is acceptable: the issuer needs a reasonable belief that investors are accredited (Rule 501(a) preamble), typically documented through an investor questionnaire. No verification procedures are mandated.
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.

private-placements is a skill published in the GitHub repository JoelLewis/finance_skills (184 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 202 tokens to every session and 5,466 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
