kendex: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/price-handling/SKILL.md

price-handling is a skill for Claude Code from vanillagreencom/kendex. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,081 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A set of rules for representing, comparing, rounding, and displaying prices in software, using floating-point numbers by default. Floating-point numbers are a common computer format for storing decimal values approximately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when comparing prices, checking order thresholds, handling market data, aligning orders to price ticks, or formatting prices for display.
Why use it?
It helps avoid errors caused by exact equality checks and by rounding prices at the wrong stage.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is vanillagreencom/kendex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kendex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kendex configures →

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 C, and why

price-handling scanned grade C 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 21d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Price Handling Patterns

The price type is f64

IEEE 754 double precision. No fixed-point, no decimal types.

Use i64 fixed-point only for a matching engine (bit-exact required), a regulatory audit trail mandating reproducibility, or a settlement system with legal precision requirements. Hybrid: i64 on the execution hot path, f64 for display and analytics.

Never == on prices

use float_cmp::{approx_eq, F64Margin};

pub const PRICE_EPSILON: f64 = 1e-10;  // sub-pipette tolerance

pub fn prices_equal(a: f64, b: f64) -> bool {
    approx_eq!(f64, a, b, epsilon = PRICE_EPSILON, ulps = 4)
}

pub fn price_gte(a: f64, b: f64) -> bool { a > b || prices_equal(a, b) }
pub fn price_lte(a: f64, b: f64) -> bool { a < b || prices_equal(a, b) }

Round only at the boundaries

Boundary Rounding
Order submission (OrderRequest → broker API) Round to tick, then validate alignment
Display formatting Round to the symbol's display_decimals
Market data ingestion (ticks, bars, quotes) Never. Preserve full feed precision
P&L calculation Never. Use raw values
pub fn round_to_tick(price: f64, tick_size: f64) -> f64 {
    (price / tick_size).round() * tick_size
}

pub fn validate_tick_alignment(price: f64, tick_size: f64) -> bool {
    prices_equal(price, round_to_tick(price, tick_size))
}

Order submission order: round to tick, validate alignment (on failure return an error, never re-round), then format for the broker API if it takes a string.

Format with the symbol's precision, never hardcoded decimals (EURUSD 5, AAPL 2, BTC 8):

format!("{:.1$}", price, symbol.display_decimals as usize)

Symbol metadata owns precision

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.

price-handling is a skill published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,081 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
