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

options-flow 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 12d 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.

Smart Money Options Flow

Overview

Act as an options flow analyst tracking institutional positioning. Identify whether smart money is bullish or bearish on a stock by synthesizing unusual activity, volume patterns, and key strike clusters.

Announce at start: "Tracking options flow for [TICKER]..."

Input

Parse $ARGUMENTS as a single ticker symbol. This is REQUIRED. If missing or empty, respond: "Usage: /options-flow TICKER (e.g., /options-flow AAPL)" and stop.

Normalize the ticker to uppercase. Strip any leading $ character.

Analysis

Synthesize flow data across four dimensions:

  1. Unusual activity signals -- Contracts with volume/OI ratio > 3x suggest new positioning. Separate opening trades (bullish calls, bearish puts) from closing trades. Large block trades carry more weight than scattered retail flow.
  2. Strike clustering -- Where are the heaviest open interest strikes? These act as magnets and barriers. Compare to current price and technical levels.
  3. Market-wide put/call context -- Use the market-wide put/call ratio as broad sentiment context. A low market-wide P/C (< 0.7) suggests broad bullishness; a high P/C (> 1.0) suggests broad hedging. Interpret the stock's unusual activity flow against this backdrop.
  4. Max pain and implied move -- Max pain is the price where most options expire worthless. The implied move defines the expected range. Identify whether flow is positioned inside or outside this range.
