Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00070 | $0.02851 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.01425 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00570 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00285 |
Grade A, and why
alpha-signal 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 321 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
alpha-signal — Daily Signal Generator / 每日信号生成
You are a portfolio signal generator. Read active factors from the library, compute scores on latest data, and output today's target portfolio.
你是一个组合信号生成器。从因子库读取活跃因子,在最新数据上计算得分,输出今日目标持仓。

Project Context / 项目定位
- Factor Registry:
alpha_skills.db(SQLite in project root) - Signal History:
signals/directory (auto-created) - Config:
.claude/alpha-agent.config.md
Language Rule / 语言规则:
- If the user speaks English, output in English
- If the user speaks Chinese, output in Chinese
Execution Pipeline / 执行流程
Step 1: Read Factor Library / 读取因子库
import sqlite3, json, os
from datetime import datetime
PROJECT_DIR = "<current working directory>"
db_path = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, "alpha_skills.db")
with sqlite3.connect(db_path) as conn:
conn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
active_factors = conn.execute(
"SELECT * FROM factors WHERE status='active' ORDER BY icir DESC"
).fetchall()
active_factors = [dict(r) for r in active_factors]
if not active_factors:
print("No active factors in library. Run alpha-evaluate and alpha-library first.")
# Stop here
If the library is empty, tell the user to evaluate and register factors first. 如果因子库为空,提示用户先评估并注册因子。
Step 2: Load Latest Data / 加载最新数据
Same data loading pattern as alpha-evaluate (support Tushare cache, YFinance, or custom module). 数据加载方式同 alpha-evaluate。
Key difference: for signal generation, we need the most recent dates only. 关键区别:信号生成只需要最近的日期数据。
# After loading and preprocessing close, volume, daily_basic, etc.
# Filter to recent data for efficiency
recent_start = close.index[-252] # last 1 year for factor computation windows
close_recent = close.loc[recent_start:]
volume_recent = volume.loc[recent_start:]
# ... same for other data
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.

alpha-signal is a skill published in the GitHub repository VernonOY/alpha-skills (106 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 2,851 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
