technical-analysis

A stock-chart analysis skill that studies price movement, trends, chart patterns, momentum, and technical indicators. Technical analysis uses market data and charts to look for possible price behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine US stocks, identify uptrends or downtrends, review chart patterns, and interpret technical indicators.
Why use it?
It helps turn raw price history into a structured view of a stock’s direction and momentum, using current data where available.

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

technical-analysis 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 3d 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.

Technical Analysis

⚠️ Data Verification — Do This Before Any Analysis

Before running any analysis, always retrieve the latest market data for the ticker:

  1. Fetch current price — use web search or ask the user for the live price, 52-week range, and market cap. Never assume a price from training data.
  2. Confirm key figures — recent earnings, revenue, key ratios (P/E, P/S, etc.) as applicable to this skill.
  3. State your data source — note where the numbers came from (e.g., "Google Finance, June 19 2026") at the top of the output.
  4. Flag stale data explicitly — if live data is unavailable, display this warning before proceeding:

⚠️ Live data unavailable. The following analysis uses training-data estimates which may be significantly out of date. Verify all prices and metrics before making any decisions.

Never silently substitute training-data estimates for current prices. When in doubt, ask the user to paste the latest quote.


Perform technical analysis of US stocks using price action, chart patterns, and technical indicators.

Chart Pattern Analysis

  1. Trend Identification

    • Primary trend (uptrend, downtrend, sideways)
    • Trend strength and momentum
    • Support and resistance levels
    • Trendline analysis
  2. Classic Chart Patterns

    • Head and shoulders, inverse H&S
    • Double/triple tops and bottoms
    • Cup and handle
    • Triangles (ascending, descending, symmetrical)
    • Flags and pennants
    • Wedges and channels
  3. Candlestick Patterns

    • Reversal patterns (doji, hammer, shooting star, engulfing)
    • Continuation patterns
    • Multi-candle formations

Technical Indicators

  1. Trend Indicators

    • Moving averages (SMA, EMA: 20, 50, 200-day)
    • Moving average crossovers
    • MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
    • ADX (Average Directional Index)
  2. Momentum Indicators

    • RSI (Relative Strength Index)
    • Stochastic oscillator
    • Williams %R
    • Rate of Change (ROC)

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.
