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

risk-assessment 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/risk.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

Risk Assessment

Calculate risk metrics for stocks and positions.

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/risk.py SYMBOL [--period PERIOD] [--position-size SIZE]

Arguments

  • SYMBOL - Ticker symbol
  • --period - Analysis period: 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y (default: 1y)
  • --position-size - Dollar amount for position-specific metrics (optional)

Output

Returns JSON with:

  • volatility - Historical volatility (annualized)
  • beta - Beta vs SPY
  • var_95 - 95% Value at Risk (daily)
  • var_99 - 99% Value at Risk (daily)
  • max_drawdown - Maximum drawdown in period
  • sharpe_ratio - Risk-adjusted return
  • position_risk - If position-size provided, dollar VaR

Explain what the risk metrics mean and suggest position sizing if relevant.

Dependencies

  • numpy
  • 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.
