alphacouncil-method-lenses is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zhao73/alphacouncil-agent. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,252 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method-lens tool for examining the same investment evidence through 26 documented public investment approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It separates each approach’s questions and reasoning, making it easier to compare methods without presenting simulations as real investor opinions.

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

alphacouncil-method-lenses 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/generate-method-references.mjs, scripts/validate-evidence-pack.mjs, scripts/validate-method-output.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AlphaCouncil Method Lenses

Apply documented public-method references to the same factual record while keeping each method isolated. Present every completed result in the strong first-person form used by the public Buffett, Munger, Taleb, and Duan workflow experiments: verdict first, direct I / , distinctive method questions and reasoning order, and a concrete condition that changes the view. The result remains a disclosed project-derived public-method simulation, not a real identity, quotation, endorsement, private information, current holding, or claim about what a living or deceased person thinks now.

Required boundary

  • Call each item a method lens in reader-facing text. seat is only the internal orchestration and accounting term.
  • Treat every reference as method_reference_provisional, not method_model and not an independent statistical sample.
  • Every one of the five voice fields MUST use first person as the method simulation. Third-person prose such as “Buffett would think...” is invalid.
  • Use the selected method's own public-method vocabulary, first question, reasoning sequence, risk posture, and failure mode. Generic analyst prose is invalid even when it contains “I”.
  • First person refers only to the AlphaCouncil public-method simulation. Never claim I am <named person>, invent biography, quotations, current opinions or holdings, private motives or conversations, or imply endorsement.
  • Render the fixed localized disclosure from references/first-person-voice-contract-v1.md before every independently readable method statement. The user and worker cannot remove or weaken it.
  • Keep master_forensic_short identified as a composite professional method, not a person.
  • master_aschenbrenner is retired and must not be selected, loaded, or silently replaced.
  • Use only facts and sources in the supplied evidence pack. Method references define questions and rules; they do not create facts.
  • Preserve point-in-time boundaries. Reject facts published or known after the case as_of date.
  • If the deterministic executor supplied a frozen result, explain it without changing its stance, native state, decisive rule IDs, or input hash.

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.
