entry-gate

entry-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KCNyu/clawock. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preliminary screening step for a stock or other investment that has not yet been researched or held. It checks whether enough reliable information exists to justify deeper research, separately from whether the investment looks good.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before researching a new candidate or taking exposure. It checks evidence quality, quote freshness, instrument details, and fixed disqualifying conditions, then routes the candidate onward or stops it.
Why use it?
It prevents spending a full research run or opening a new position when the company or instrument is not understandable or the available information is too weak or old.

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

entry-gate 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Entry Gate

Manual, run once per candidate name. It is cheap on purpose: it decides whether the expensive work is worth doing, and its output routes straight into the full-report mode of the market's analysis skill.

Write memory/entry-gates/<TICKER>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.json. The script computes the registered screening policy's verdict; you decide whether more research is worth it. To disagree, add research_judgment: {"verdict": "pass_to_deep_research", "rationale": "why the concern warrants investigation and what would change my view"}. assess returns your research_verdict and research_departs_from_policy alongside the original policy result. Neither result grants permission to open a position.

What the script verifies

  • information.grade (A/B/C) from the evidence source classes you cite;
  • quote_freshness from quote.as_of against assessed_at;
  • verdict and routing — a stated verdict that disagrees with the computed one is a false claim about the policy; put a differing research choice in research_judgment;
  • whether a hard veto's industry exception is actually encoded for this sector.

Vetoes are resolved before any check is counted, so checks_passed can never rescue a vetoed name.

Step 1 — quote and instrument kind

Use the workspace pipelines, never a web price:

clawock fetch-peers --help   # fetch verified quotes for an unheld name; use the documented JSON stdin request

quote.source_class must be one of the pipeline names, or validation fails outright. A quote older than 24h makes the verdict gray rather than pass.

Set instrument_kind. A leveraged ETF has no company fundamentals to grade: it takes the underlying_exposure / decay_and_regime / sizing_limit / liquidity checks and routes to leverage_look_through. When the ticker is in config/instruments.json, the registry's leverage_multiple overrules your declaration.

Step 2 — mechanism and key variables

mechanism is one sentence: who pays, why, and what makes it repeat. If you cannot write it from primary sources, that is the unintelligible_revenue_mechanism veto, not a writing problem.

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.
