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

research-goal 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 7d 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.

Origin

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal-Driven Finance Research

Use this skill when a user asks for a multi-step finance research task, comparison, audit, thesis review, or "keep working until the answer is supported." The goal runtime is for research only. Never use it to place, submit, or execute trades.

When to Attach a Goal

Start a goal when the task has any of these traits:

  • It needs multiple criteria before a conclusion is credible.
  • It compares strategies, assets, regimes, or evidence sources.
  • It may continue across turns or require a final audit.
  • The user asks for "long driven task", "goal", "审计", "对比", "研究结论", or similar.

Do not start a goal for a tiny one-shot answer unless the user explicitly asks.

Tool Flow

  1. Call start_research_goal with a concise research-only objective.
  2. Include 3-5 acceptance criteria when the user provided enough context.
  3. Before continuing an existing task, call get_research_goal.
  4. After a market-data lookup, backtest, document read, web source, or manual reasoning step, call add_goal_evidence.
  5. Link evidence to a criterion using criterion_id or criterion_index.
  6. When all required criteria have been audited, call update_research_goal_status.

Criteria Template

Use this shape when the user did not provide criteria:

  • Define the research-only thesis and symbol universe.
  • Collect fresh market, benchmark, or artifact evidence.
  • Compare alternatives or a control baseline.
  • Record caveats, contradictions, and the non-advice boundary.

Evidence Rules

  • Keep evidence short and concrete.
  • Prefer artifact-backed evidence when a tool produced a run or file.
  • Include run_id, artifact_path, source_provider, source_type, symbol_universe, benchmark, and data_as_of when known.
  • tool_call_id is traceability only. Completion needs verified evidence from an existing run_id or an allowed artifact_path with a matching sha256 hash.
  • Do not mark live trading instructions as evidence. Refuse or reframe them as research-only analysis.
