tcx-strategy

tcx-strategy is a skill for Codex from monarchjuno/tradingcodex. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating and managing reusable, agent-readable investment procedures whose names start with “strategy-”.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define entry and exit conditions, position-sizing rules, evidence requirements, and step-by-step investment decisions.
Why use it?
It keeps investment rules explicit, reviewable, and tied to the exact version used for a decision. It also prevents a strategy from silently changing or gaining permission to place trades.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions subagents; reads ~/.codex paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Good fit It helps define entry and exit conditions, position-sizing rules, evidence requirements, and step-by-step investment decisions.

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 →

    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.

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

tcx-strategy 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 1mo 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 — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strategy Creator

Use this skill to author and manage strategy skills. A strategy skill is a standalone Codex-compatible skill whose name starts with strategy-, stored as a normal project skill under .agents/skills/strategy-*. It captures a user-approved investment strategy as an agent-readable operating procedure and should remain usable without importing TradingCodex service code.

Strategy skills guide judgment only. They never approve orders, execute orders, override policy, change MCP allowlists, bypass role boundaries, read secrets, or grant broker authority.

Each workflow must bind the selected strategy name and content hash before analysis. Later edits do not rewrite the strategy snapshot used by an earlier decision, replay, forecast, or postmortem. Historical and forward evidence may justify a draft change proposal, but it never silently changes or activates the strategy.

In native Codex, selection requires one exact explicit $strategy-* id, either as a plain invocation or a Markdown link whose label and target match the projected workspace skill. Repeated references to the same id are deduplicated; distinct multiple ids fail closed. An unprefixed name or natural-language similarity never selects a strategy. The hook accepts only an active validated workspace strategy and seals its content under the run before planning. The read-only viewer never selects a strategy.

The generated strategy body must be standalone. Do not mention platform names, platform role identifiers, subagent mechanics, MCP, approval gates, execution gates, or handoff mechanics inside the strategy skill. If a section has no user-provided rule, write not specified without adding a delegation sentence.

Managed Turn Admission

Creating, updating, activating, archiving, or deleting a strategy is a durable managed operation. Proceed only when the current root prompt has $tcx-strategy on its first meaningful line. Accept the plain token or a Markdown skill link only when its label and target match this workspace's projected tcx-strategy/SKILL.md; the concrete non-empty request may share the line or follow it. Do not combine it with $tcx-build, $tcx-brain, or an order marker. Use the normal trading-research profile; the marker admits only allowlisted Strategy lifecycle calls through the proof-protected manage_strategy MCP tool for this root turn. It does not grant generic Build, Brain, order, credential, publication, or global-config authority. Plan mode and subagents cannot issue or use the grant.

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.
