tax-loss-harvesting

tax-loss-harvesting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,023 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to finding crypto holdings whose current value is below their purchase cost and using those losses for tax planning. Tax-loss harvesting means selling a loss-making asset so the loss may offset taxable gains, subject to local rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify unrealised crypto losses, estimate potential tax effects, separate short- and long-term holdings, and consider replacement strategies.
Why use it?
It organises cost basis, current value, profit or loss, and holding period to show where losses may matter. It also highlights that replacement trades and wash-sale rules depend on the jurisdiction.

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

tax-loss-harvesting 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.

Tax-Loss Harvesting

When to use this skill

Use when the user asks about:

  • Reducing crypto tax obligations
  • Finding unrealized losses in their portfolio
  • Tax-loss harvesting strategies for crypto
  • Wash sale rules and crypto (jurisdiction-dependent)
  • Year-end tax planning for crypto holdings

Harvesting Framework

1. Identify Loss Positions

Scan the portfolio for unrealized losses:

  • List all holdings with cost basis and current market value
  • Calculate unrealized P&L for each position (current value - cost basis)
  • Categorize by holding period: Short-term (held < 1 year) vs long-term (held > 1 year)
  • Sort by loss magnitude: Largest absolute losses first
Asset Cost Basis Current Value Unrealized P&L Holding Period
Token A $10,000 $6,000 -$4,000 8 months (ST)
Token B $5,000 $3,500 -$1,500 14 months (LT)

2. Tax Impact Calculation

Estimate the value of harvesting each loss:

  • Short-term losses offset short-term gains (taxed at ordinary income rate, up to 37% in the US)
  • Long-term losses offset long-term gains (taxed at 0/15/20% depending on bracket)
  • Net losses can offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income per year (US), remainder carries forward
  • Calculate tax savings: Loss amount * marginal tax rate = estimated tax reduction
  • Prioritize short-term losses harvested against short-term gains for maximum benefit

3. Wash Sale Considerations

Address wash sale rules (jurisdiction-dependent):

  • US crypto status: As of the user's tax year, check current IRS guidance on wash sale applicability to crypto. The 2025 infrastructure bill may have changed rules.
  • Traditional wash sale rule (stocks): Cannot buy back substantially identical asset within 30 days before or after the sale
  • If crypto wash sales apply: Suggest waiting 31 days or swapping into a correlated but different asset
  • If wash sales do NOT apply: Can sell and immediately rebuy (preserving exposure while capturing the loss)
  • Other jurisdictions: Rules vary significantly — UK (30-day rule), EU, Australia, etc. Always advise consulting a local tax professional
