What it does
Edge Concept Synthesizer is an agent skill from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. Abstract detector tickets and hints into reusable edge concepts with thesis, invalidation signals, and strategy playbooks before strategy design/export.
Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/concept_schema.md` and `scripts/synthesize_edge_concepts.py`).
It sits in Education, covering Essays and academic help. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for equity investors and traders — market analysis, technical charting, economic calendars, screeners, and trading strategy development. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
Example prompts
- “/edge-concept-synthesizer”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Collect ticket YAML files from auto-detection output.
- Optionally provide hints.yaml for context matching.
- Run scripts/synthesize_edge_concepts.py.
- Deduplicate concepts: merge same-hypothesis concepts with overlapping conditions (containment > threshold).
- Review concepts and promote only high-support concepts into strategy drafting.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c8d58f0. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Edge Concept Synthesizer loads about 618 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Edge Concept Synthesizer
Overview
Create an abstraction layer between detection and strategy implementation.
This skill clusters ticket evidence, summarizes recurring conditions, and outputs edge_concepts.yaml with explicit thesis and invalidation logic.
When to Use
- You have many raw tickets and need mechanism-level structure.
- You want to avoid direct ticket-to-strategy overfitting.
- You need concept-level review before strategy drafting.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+
PyYAML- Ticket YAML directory from detector output (
tickets/exportable,tickets/research_only) - Optional
hints.yaml
Output
edge_concepts.yamlcontaining:- concept clusters
- support statistics
- abstract thesis
- invalidation signals
- export readiness flag
Workflow
- Collect ticket YAML files from auto-detection output.
- Optionally provide
hints.yamlfor context matching. - Run
scripts/synthesize_edge_concepts.py. - Deduplicate concepts: merge same-hypothesis concepts with overlapping conditions (containment > threshold).
- Review concepts and promote only high-support concepts into strategy drafting.
