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

investment-memo-craft 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 13d 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.

Investment Memo Craft

Purpose

Turn investment research into a decision-ready Codex research report. Keep the data discipline of the underlying research skill, but make the output easier for an investor to use: concrete business mechanics, sharp inverse thinking, explicit opportunity cost, action thresholds, and calm Markdown typography.

Use this as a writing and judgment overlay. It does not replace financial-data rules, primary-source checks, valuation tools, or report audit tooling.

For long-form AI Berkshire outputs, title the artifact as a "research report" by default. Use "investment memo" only when the user explicitly asks for a memo format.

This is a Codex-only hand-written skill kept under codex-skills/ for simple installation. Do not add a same-named skills/investment-memo-craft.md source unless intentionally adopting this workflow for Claude Code too.

Core Workflow

  1. Open with context; reserve the full decision for after the evidence.

    • In the first screen, state the research date, price, market cap, valuation, and a short thesis.
    • Do not front-load the full buy/hold/sell table unless the user explicitly asks for an executive memo.
    • Put the detailed recommendation, investor-specific actions, and price bands near the end, after business quality, risk, and valuation have been argued.
    • Separate "good business" from "good investment at this price".
  2. Build the operating map before the philosophy.

    • Include revenue structure, segment economics, unit drivers, and 3-5 year trends early.
    • For asset-heavy businesses, show the key assets individually when they explain the moat.
    • Explain the pricing mechanism, customer lock-in, cost structure, and reinvestment needs.
  3. Compress business essence into one memorable sentence.

    • Prefer a sentence that describes who pays, why they pay, what is scarce, and what repeats.
    • Avoid generic labels such as "industry leader" unless followed by the mechanism that makes leadership durable.

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.
