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

insider-trading 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 11d ago.

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

What it actually says

Insider Trading

Fetch recent insider transactions from Yahoo Finance (SEC Form 4 data).

Instructions

Note: If uv is not installed or pyproject.toml is not found, replace uv run python with python in all commands below.

uv run python scripts/insider_trading.py SYMBOLS [--days DAYS]

Arguments

  • SYMBOLS - Single ticker or comma-separated list (e.g., NVDA or NVDA,PLTR,GOOG)
  • --days - Trailing days to look back (default: 90)

Output

Returns JSON with:

  • transactions - List of insider trades with insider name, role, transaction type, shares, price, value, date, ownership type
  • summary - Net sentiment (net_buying, net_selling, neutral), buy/sell counts and values

For multiple symbols, results are ranked by net buying value (most buying first).

Use Cases

  • "Show me insider buys for NVDA in the last 90 days"
  • "Compare insider activity across NVDA, PLTR, GOOG"
  • "Which of these stocks has the most insider selling recently?"

Dependencies

  • yfinance

Timezone

All timestamps and time-based calculations must use the America/New_York timezone. All JSON output must include generated_at (NY time string) and data_delay fields.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
