shekel-currency-converter

shekel-currency-converter is a skill for Claude Code from squadcodercom/squadcoder. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,284 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for converting currencies to and from the Israeli new shekel, also called NIS or ILS, using official Bank of Israel representative rates. It supports current and historical dates, including tax-related conversions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert amounts involving ILS, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, or CHF and to retrieve the official rate and date needed for a calculation.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on outdated exchange-rate feeds or confusing the rate for one currency unit with the rate for ten or one hundred units.

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 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.

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.

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.

Shekel Currency Converter

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: {"key":"USD","currentExchangeRate":2.872,"unit":1,"currentChange":1.66,"lastUpdate":"..."}. Here currentChange is a percentage daily move, not an absolute NIS delta, and it is NOT used in conversion math.

Historical / tax-date rate (SDMX series): The JSON endpoint's ?date= parameter is IGNORED, it always returns today's rate. For a specific past date (the rate that matters for tax), use the Bank of Israel SDMX EXR series instead:

Fetch: https://edge.boi.gov.il/FusionEdgeServer/sdmx/v2/data/dataflow/BOI.STATISTICS/EXR/1.0/RER_<CUR>_ILS?startPeriod=YYYY-MM-DD&endPeriod=YYYY-MM-DD&format=csv
Replace <CUR> with the currency code (e.g., RER_USD_ILS, RER_EUR_ILS).
Parse CSV: read OBS_VALUE keyed by TIME_PERIOD.

The series omits non-publication days (Saturday, Sunday, holidays). If there is no row for the exact requested date, walk back to the most recent published date on or before it, and tell the user which date's rate you used.

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.
