stingray — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited stingray (Agent Skill) and scored it 78/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

Stingray is a trading strategy builder. Use it when the user wants a coding agent to turn a trading idea into Stingray Studio Ideas, Evidence, Signals, private Replays, and opt-in Studio Publications. Generic coding agents can plan and orchestrate. Stingray handles the market context, product objects, and Replay processing.
Check first, set up only if missing. Prefer STINGRAY_PAT from the environment if present:
if [ -n "$STINGRAY_PAT" ]; then
echo "configured"
elif [ -f ~/.stingray/credentials ]; then
source ~/.stingray/credentials 2>/dev/null
echo "configured"
else
echo "not configured"
fiWhen not configured, send the user this short message: the secret stays in their terminal, not in the agent's context.
Welcome to Stingray. I do not see an API token on this machine yet.
>
Studio Skills API tokens are currently provisioned for the private-beta Skills API surface. Ask your Stingray contact for a token with theskills:fullscope. It starts withsa_pat_. Then paste this into your terminal, replacing<token>with the value:
>
`` mkdir -p ~/.stingray && printf 'STINGRAY_PAT=<token>\n' > ~/.stingray/credentials && chmod 600 ~/.stingray/credentials ``>
Once that is done, ask me to check Stingray again. I will confirm the connection and run one small Studio example.
>
Prefer env vars? Set STINGRAY_PAT=<token> in your shell config instead.Do not accept the token via chat paste. If the user pastes it anyway, ask them to clear their chat scrollback and redo setup via the terminal command above. After the user confirms setup, rerun the credential check and continue with the original task.
Use the production Studio Skills API:
source ~/.stingray/credentials 2>/dev/null || true
export STINGRAY_API=https://stingray.fi/api/studio/v1All product work goes through the action endpoint:
POST /skills/actions
Authorization: Bearer sa_pat_...
Content-Type: application/jsonLookup routes for recovery:
GET /skills/runs/{run_id}
GET /skills/requests/{client_request_id}The token must have skills:full. Missing, malformed, unknown, or revoked tokens return auth errors. Valid tokens without skills:full return an insufficient-scope error. Do not expose token ids, token names, last-four metadata, or source metadata to the user.

|---|---|---|
idea.intake | No | The user starts from a raw thesis, external context, or a public post. Creates or refines a normal Studio Idea. |
evidence.ground | Yes | The user wants market context, Evidence, or coverage checks for an Idea. |
signal.design | Yes | The user wants the Idea translated into a Signal candidate. |
artifact.accept | Yes | The user or caller confirms a staged Signal candidate should become a committed Signal. First slice supports signal_candidate only. |
signal.replay | Yes | The user wants a private Replay for a selected committed Signal. |
signal.status | Yes | The caller wants selected Signal status or latest Replay status without asking the assistant to reason again. |
idea.publish | Yes | The user explicitly asks for a public Studio demo, share link, or publish action. |
idea.intake may create a forming Idea. All other actions should use the returned idea_id. Do not invent a separate container id. The Idea is the durable context boundary for an external agent session.

The default hello-world should produce one auditable Studio artifact the user can open in a browser. Use a harmless, generic thesis:
BTC pullback check: when BTCUSDT drops 3% or more in 24 hours, replay what happened next over the last 365 days.Success means:
idea.intake creates or resumes the Studio Idea;signal.design stages a Signal candidate;artifact.accept commits the staged Signal candidate if the responseincludes one and the user asked for the full hello-world flow;
signal.replay runs or starts a private Replay;signal.status, /skills/runs/{run_id}, or/skills/requests/{client_request_id} is used for recovery when needed;
idea.publish runs only because the hello-world prompt explicitly asked for apublic Studio demo link;
If a response lacks enough information to continue safely, ask the user instead of guessing. If the user did not explicitly ask for a public link, stop at the private Replay and mention that a Studio Publication can be created on request.
