magnet-path

magnet-path is a skill for Claude Code from mphinance/alpha-skills. It costs 117 tokens per session (685 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A charting tool that combines recent share-price history with projected option-price levels for future expiration dates. These projected levels are based on gamma, a measure of how option positions can affect price movement.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps visualize projected option gamma magnets, compare them with the gamma-flip path, and inspect how open interest and gamma direction vary across expiries.
Why use it?
It shows how expected option positioning may create price attractions over time rather than only showing today's levels.

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

magnet-path 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/magnet_path.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

magnet-path

Forward-looking companion to a GEX snapshot. Where a gamma-wall chart shows the pins for today, this projects the magnet (the strike price pulls toward) across the next several expiries, so you can see the path price is being pulled along.

Run

python scripts/magnet_path.py SYMBOL [--out path.png] [--days 30] [--max-expiries 5]
  • --days — days of price history on the left (default 30)
  • --max-expiries — forward expiries to plot (default 5)
  • --out — output PNG path (default <symbol>_magnet.png)

Prints the output path on success.

Data

TraderDaddy Pro agent API. Auth token is the raw single-line contents of .env_agent_api (walks up from CWD to the mphinance repo, or MPHINANCE_ROOT, else /home/mph/mphinance/.env_agent_api). Requires a browser User-Agent.

  • Price line: /api/agent/ticker/{SYM}/chart-data?days=N
  • Forward pins: /api/agent/gex/{SYM}/apex/evolution?maxExpiries=M → spot, gammaFlipTrajectory[], rows[{date, dte, magnet, regime, magnetOI}]

How to read it

  • Magnet (green/red bubble) = the strike price gets pulled toward at that expiry. Bubble size and glow scale with open interest = how much conviction sits on that pin.
  • Green = positive gamma regime (dealers dampen moves, price gets pinned). Red = negative gamma (dealers feed the move, volatility expands).
  • Gamma flip (orange dotted) = the price where dealers switch from long to short gamma. Above the flip, moves get dampened; below it, they accelerate.
  • The key read: when the magnet lands on the gamma flip at the same expiry, that price is the fulcrum — the most unstable, most magnetic level for that week. A magnet below spot in a negative regime = downside pull.

Example

python scripts/magnet_path.py SLB — SLB's path pulls up toward the $48 pin near-term, sags to a negative-gamma $45 magnet that meets the flip on the 8/07 expiry (the re-load fulcrum), then a heavy positive $52.50 monthly magnet into 8/21 where the biggest OI sits.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
