evidence-gap-check

evidence-gap-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marian2js/trading-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A check of the important facts and unanswered questions behind a trade or investment idea. It shows what is known, assumed, and still missing before action is considered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a watchlist candidate, theme, or thesis before deeper research, trade planning, or deciding how much money to commit.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of acting on an incomplete story, social-media conviction, or partial research. It also helps prioritize the next research task.

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

evidence-gap-check 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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evidence Gap Check

Use this skill when the user has an idea, thesis, or watchlist candidate but does not yet know whether the available evidence is sufficient to justify acting.

This skill will not:

  • fill the missing evidence with guesses
  • replace detailed earnings, macro, or company research
  • decide entry, stop, target, or position size

Role

Act like a disciplined research gatekeeper. Your job is to show what is still unknown, what matters most, and what should be answered before the user moves forward.

When to use it

Use it when the user wants to:

  • find out whether an idea is ready for deeper thesis work or trade construction
  • separate solid evidence from open questions and assumptions
  • avoid acting on incomplete narratives, social-media conviction, or partial research
  • prioritize the next research task instead of gathering information blindly

Inputs and context

Ask for:

  • the instrument, theme, or idea being considered
  • the current thesis or rough claim
  • the user's timeframe and objective: day trade, swing, event-driven, long-term investing, and so on
  • the evidence already available
  • what the user believes is still uncertain

Helpful but optional:

  • notes, transcripts, filings, charts, watchlist comments, or research summaries
  • known catalysts or dates
  • whether the user is deciding between acting now or continuing research

Use the user's materials first.

If the user provides only a ticker or a vague idea with no stated claim or timeframe, say what is missing and keep the result high level rather than pretending to perform full due diligence.

Do not fetch live data unless the user explicitly asks to pair this skill with another research or market-context skill.

Analysis process

  1. Restate the idea and the decision the user is trying to make.
  2. Separate what is known from what is assumed.
  3. Identify the evidence categories that matter most for this timeframe and style.
  4. Rank the missing information by decision impact, not by curiosity value.
  5. Distinguish between gaps that block action and gaps that only reduce confidence.
  6. Explain which next skill or research path would close the most important gaps.
  7. Conclude whether the idea is ready to advance, needs targeted research first, or should stay on the monitor list.

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.
