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 | $0.00060 | $0.00389 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00156 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
trade-hypothesis-ideator 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.
What it actually says
Trade Hypothesis Ideator
Generate 1-5 structured hypothesis cards from a normalized input bundle, critique and rank them, then optionally export pursue cards into strategy.yaml + metadata.json artifacts.
Workflow
- Receive input JSON bundle.
- Run pass 1 normalization + evidence extraction.
- Generate hypotheses with prompts:
prompts/system_prompt.mdprompts/developer_prompt_template.md(inject{{evidence_summary}})
- Critique hypotheses with
prompts/critique_prompt_template.md. - Run pass 2 ranking + output formatting + guardrails.
- Optionally export
pursuehypotheses via Step H strategy exporter.
Scripts
- Pass 1 (evidence summary):
python3 skills/trade-hypothesis-ideator/scripts/run_hypothesis_ideator.py \
--input skills/trade-hypothesis-ideator/examples/example_input.json \
--output-dir reports/
- Pass 2 (rank + output + optional export):
python3 skills/trade-hypothesis-ideator/scripts/run_hypothesis_ideator.py \
--input skills/trade-hypothesis-ideator/examples/example_input.json \
--hypotheses reports/raw_hypotheses.json \
--output-dir reports/ \
--export-strategies

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.

trade-hypothesis-ideator is a skill published in the GitHub repository mphinance/alpha-skills (28 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 389 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 2026-09-14.
