When your agent uses it

  • : user asks about stock/crypto prices
  • Check portfolio
  • Backtest a strategy

Example prompts

  • “/fintool”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. OpenAI API key — Required for enriched quotes (trend/momentum analysis).
  2. At least one exchange — Required for trading commands.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 177a9b8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fintool loads about 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,324 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,324 words (~5,915 tokens).

“A suite of CLI tools for market intelligence and trading across multiple exchanges. Each exchange has its own binary.”
