explore-data

explore-data is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xingwudao/open-xquant. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,580 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled workflow for inspecting, downloading, and validating open-xquant market, economic, and financial datasets. It focuses on local Parquet files, a columnar data-storage format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before backtests, factor studies, or other work that depends on local market, macroeconomic, or financial data.
Why use it?
It checks that data comes from the intended workspace version and is safe and valid before analysis or backtesting uses it.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

explore-data 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.

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.

Phase Path Containment Preflight

Before any phase artifact read, write, directory creation, command, or handoff, run this preflight completely and block on any failure:

  1. Read .open-xquant/workspace.yaml. Resolve version_root from paths.versions_dir, using versions only when that key is absent. Require version_root to be a safe workspace-relative path: reject an absolute path or any .. path segment, resolve it canonically with symlinks, and require the result to stay inside the workspace.
  2. Read current.json. For normal phase work, set expected_version_id to current.json.active_version; it must exist. Only a contract that explicitly owns cross-version inspection may instead set expected_version_id from the referenced version id for that historical read. This exception never permits active-version work to consume another version.
  3. Set the intended version directory to <version_root>/<expected_version_id>/ and resolve it canonically. Require the intended version directory to remain inside the canonical version root and workspace; otherwise treat it as a symlink escape. Read version_manifest.json only from that exact directory. The manifest version_id must equal expected_version_id; for normal phase work it therefore must also equal current.json.active_version.
  4. Before using each required phase_paths value, require a non-empty workspace-relative string. Reject an absolute path and any .. path segment. Resolve <workspace>/<phase_path> canonically, including existing symlink ancestors even when the leaf will be created, and require the target to be the intended version directory or a descendant of it. A symlink escape outside that directory is invalid.
  5. On any identity or path failure, stop before phase artifact reads, writes, directory creation, commands, or handoffs. Do not normalize an unsafe path into acceptance and do not fall back to a default phase path.

Block examples when expected_version_id is v001 include strategy_store/v001/../v002/04_spec_build, strategy_store/v002/04_spec_build, /tmp/04_spec_build, and strategy_store/v001/escape/04_spec_build when escape is a symlink whose target is outside the intended version directory. An allowed custom nested phase path is strategy_store/v001/custom/phases/04_spec_build when its canonical target remains under the intended version directory.

For a new-version bootstrap, only manage-strategy-version may proceed before the new manifest exists or the new id becomes active. It must apply the same workspace-relative, traversal, canonical-containment, and symlink checks to every constructed phase path before directory creation, then write a matching manifest before publishing current.json last.

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.

explore-data is a skill published in the GitHub repository xingwudao/open-xquant (149 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,580 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
