Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.00604 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00242 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00121 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
batch-scanner 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Batch Scanner
Runs every screening strategy in sequence and pushes results to Google Sheets (one tab per strategy). Cron-ready for scheduled scans.
Usage
python batch_scanner.py # run all → Sheets
python batch_scanner.py --dry-run # print, don't send
python batch_scanner.py --strategies "Momentum with Pullback,MEME Screen"
python batch_scanner.py --list # show valid strategy names
Available strategies
| Strategy | Surfaces |
|---|---|
| Momentum with Pullback | Multi-timeframe EMA stack + oscillator pullback |
| Volatility Squeeze | Coiled stocks ready to break out (ATR compression) |
| MEME Screen | Top 30 by IV from top 200 by volume |
| Small Cap Multibaggers | Quality small caps, growth + positive FCF |
| Gamma Scan | Stocks near high open-interest option strikes |
| EMA Cross Momentum | Bullish EMA crossover |
| Bearish EMA Cross (Down) | Bearish EMA crossover |
For the Squeeze / Momentum strategies' entry logic, see the
momentum-squeezeskill.

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 69 lines · 61 tokens per session scan A 44c9571aaf46
batch-scanner is a skill published in the GitHub repository mphinance/alpha-skills (28 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 604 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
