Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00115 | $0.06251 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00046 | $0.02500 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.01250 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00625 |
Grade A, and why
market-news-analyst 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.
This is a copy
95% identical to market-news-analyst — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Output
This skill produces conversational guidance during the analysis session. When the full workflow is executed, Claude generates a comprehensive Markdown report (see Step 6 for format) that can be saved to the reports/ directory upon user request. No files are generated automatically; output is presented in the conversation.

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.
