Edge Strategy Designer

SkillCommerce & finance

Turn an abstract trading edge concept into concrete strategy draft variants your AI can work with. Once a draft looks right, the skill can also produce an exportable ticket YAML so the idea moves to edge-candidate-agent for validation.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add the skill, then describe your edge concept in plain terms and ask for draft variants. When you are happy with a draft, request a ticket YAML to hand it off to edge-candidate-agent.

Then ask your AI: use the Edge Strategy Designer skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Convert abstract edge concepts into strategy draft variants
  • Produce multiple draft variants from a single idea
  • Generate exportable ticket YAMLs from strategy drafts
  • Prepare tickets for edge-candidate-agent export and validation

Overview

Translate concept-level hypotheses into concrete strategy draft specs. This skill sits after concept synthesis and before pipeline export validation.

When to Use

  • You have edge_concepts.yaml and need strategy candidates.
  • You want multiple variants (core/conservative/research-probe) per concept.
  • You want optional exportable ticket files for interface v1 families.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+
  • PyYAML
  • edge_concepts.yaml produced by concept synthesis

Output

  • strategy_drafts/*.yaml
  • strategy_drafts/run_manifest.json
  • Optional exportable_tickets/*.yaml for downstream export_candidate.py

Workflow

  1. Load edge_concepts.yaml.
  2. Choose risk profile (conservative, balanced, aggressive).
  3. Generate per-concept variants with hypothesis-type exit calibration.
  4. Apply HYPOTHESIS_EXIT_OVERRIDES to adjust stop-loss, reward-to-risk, time-stop, and trailing-stop per hypothesis type (breakout, earnings_drift, panic_reversal, etc.).
  5. Clamp reward-to-risk at RR_FLOOR=1.5 to prevent C5 review failures.
  6. Export v1-ready ticket YAML when applicable.
  7. Hand off exportable tickets to skills/edge-candidate-agent/scripts/export_candidate.py.

Quick Commands

Generate drafts only:

python3 skills/edge-strategy-designer/scripts/design_strategy_drafts.py \
  --concepts /tmp/edge-concepts/edge_concepts.yaml \
  --output-dir /tmp/strategy-drafts \
  --risk-profile balanced

Generate drafts + exportable tickets:

python3 skills/edge-strategy-designer/scripts/design_strategy_drafts.py \
  --concepts /tmp/edge-concepts/edge_concepts.yaml \
  --output-dir /tmp/strategy-drafts \
  --exportable-tickets-dir /tmp/exportable-tickets \
  --risk-profile conservative
