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

industry-trend-brief 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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Industry Trend Brief

This skill reads a folder of saved articles, excerpts, and text fragments and synthesizes them into a concise weekly trend signals brief for product teams. No web access required — fully file-based, designed for Cowork.

Input:

  • Folder path containing articles or text fragments (md or txt files)

Output:

  • Markdown response with executive summary, 3–5 ranked theme sections, and "What to Watch" list

Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

  • If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
  • If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
  • If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used

Instructions

Step 1: Validate Input

  1. Check that the user provided a folder path.

    • If no path given: stop and respond: "Provide the path to a folder containing articles or text fragments in md or txt format."
  2. Scan the folder for md and txt files.

    • If folder is empty or does not exist: stop and respond: "No readable files found at the provided path. Add md or txt files with article content and try again."
    • Skip any non-text files (PDF, DOCX, images); log skipped filenames: "Skipped [filename] — unsupported format."
    • Report the number of readable files found: "Found N files: [list filenames]."
  3. If any file is shorter than 50 words: include it but flag as "weak signal — limited context."

Step 2: Extract Signals from Each File

  1. For each md/txt file, extract:

    • Topic: What is the article or fragment about? (1–3 word label)
    • Key claims or data points: Specific facts, statistics, or observations stated
    • Signal type: Classify as one of — trend, market shift, opportunity, risk, behavioral change
  2. If a file contains no substantive content (only navigation fragments, boilerplate, or advertisement text with no body): skip and log: "Skipped [filename] — no substantive content found."

  3. If all files are skipped due to no content: stop and respond: "No substantive content found for trend extraction. Ensure files contain article text, not page fragments or boilerplate."

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.
