Converting amounts between shekels and currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, and CHF. It also helps find the Bank of Israel representative rate for a particular date.

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

shekel-currency-converter scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_rates.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.

Shekel Currency Converter

This is a free information tool operated by an AI model. It retrieves the representative exchange rates the Bank of Israel publishes, converts amounts at them, and explains which date's rate the published rules point to. It does all of this without the involvement, review, or approval of a tax adviser or accountant. The output is not tax advice, not a filed return, and not a professional opinion, but published reference data and a general explanation only: it does not examine your books, your accounting basis, your VAT status or the full facts of your transaction. An AI model may err, omit data, or present a wrong conclusion.

Any figure or text this tool produces is for your personal preparation only. Responsibility for reporting and for paying the tax is yours, the binding computation is the Tax Authority's, and representation before the Tax Authority is reserved to those permitted by law. This tool is not a substitute for advice that takes account of the particular circumstances and needs of each person. Confirm with a tax adviser or accountant which date and rate apply to your transaction before filing or paying. All use of its output is the user's sole responsibility.

Instructions

Step 1: Identify Conversion Request

Parse the user's request for:

  • Source currency and target currency (at least one should be NIS/ILS)
  • Amount to convert
  • Date (current or specific historical date, important for tax conversions)
  • Purpose (general info vs. tax-relevant representative rate)

Common currency codes:

Code Currency Hebrew
ILS Israeli New Shekel shekel chadash
USD US Dollar dolar
EUR Euro euro
GBP British Pound lira sterling
JPY Japanese Yen yen
CHF Swiss Franc frank shveitzi

Step 2: Fetch Exchange Rate

Current rate (live JSON endpoint): The legacy XML feed at currency.xml is gone (it now redirects to the JSON API), so do NOT parse XML. Fetch the JSON endpoint and read the exchangeRates array.

Fetch: https://www.boi.org.il/PublicApi/GetExchangeRates
Parse JSON: response.exchangeRates is an array of objects.
Each object: key (currency code), currentExchangeRate (NIS per "unit"),
             unit (1, 10, or 100), currentChange (percent move vs. previous
             publication), lastUpdate (ISO timestamp).

Example object (the 2026-10-16 publication, a Friday, stamped 12:22 Israel time): {"key":"USD","currentExchangeRate":3.089,"currentChange":-0.4511762810183693200128907500,"unit":1,"lastUpdate":"2026-10-16T09:22:04.9223221Z"}. Here currentChange is a percentage daily move, not an absolute NIS delta, and it is NOT used in conversion math.

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.
