What it does
Factor Benchmark is an agent skill from minihellboy/factorminer. Run FactorMiner benchmark workflows — the Table 1 Top-K freeze benchmark, memory and strategy ablations, transaction-cost pressure tests, and the full suite. Use to compare FactorMiner against baselines or to reproduce paper results. Triggers on "benchmark", "ablation", "compare to baseline", "reproduce table 1", "cost pressure", "benchmark suite".
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: A Self-Evolving Agent with Skills and Experience Memory for Financial Alpha Discovery. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Compare FactorMiner against baselines
- Reproduce paper results
- Compare to baseline
- Reproduce table 1
Example prompts
- “benchmark”
- “ablation”
- “compare to baseline”
- “/factor-benchmark”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75e0560. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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
Factor Benchmark loads about 576 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Run FactorMiner benchmark workflows — the Table 1 Top-K freeze benchmark, memory and strategy ablations, transaction-cost pressure tests, and the full suite. Use to compare FactorMiner against baselines or to reproduce paper results. Triggers on "benchmark", "ablation", "compare to baseline", "reproduce table 1", "cost pressure", "benchmark suite".
Factor Benchmark
This skill runs FactorMiner's canonical benchmark surface — the rigorous comparison layer that turns a single run into evidence.
Modes
| Mode | What it answers |
|---|---|
table1 | Top-K freeze benchmark across configured universes vs. baselines — the headline reproduction. |
ablation-memory | How much does experience memory contribute? |
ablation-strategy | Effect of memory policy × dependence metric × backend. |
cost-pressure | How does the library hold up under rising transaction costs? |
efficiency | Operator- and factor-level runtime/compute cost. |
suite | The full benchmark suite in one run. |
Workflow
Run a benchmark
factorminer -o output/bench benchmark table1 --data path/to/market_data.csvfactorminer -o output/bench benchmark suite --data path/to/market_data.csvPass a pre-mined library to benchmark a specific run rather than mining fresh:
factorminer -o output/bench benchmark table1 \
--data market_data.csv \
--factor-miner-library output/run1/factor_library.jsonefficiency takes no data — it profiles the engine itself.
Read the result
The CLI prints a per-universe summary (library IC, ICIR, avg |ρ|) and writes JSON payloads into the output directory. Fold those JSON files into the research note with factor-report --benchmark.
Interpreting ablations
- An ablation that removes a feature and barely moves the metric means that feature is not earning its compute on this dataset — report that plainly.
cost-pressureis the honesty check: a library that only wins at zero cost is not a result.
Guardrails
- Benchmark numbers are comparative research evidence, not a performance guarantee.
- Use the same dataset and splits across compared runs, or the comparison is meaningless.
- Reproduction claims must cite the exact config and run directory.
