What it does

Edge Strategy Designer is an agent skill from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. Convert abstract edge concepts into strategy draft variants and optional exportable ticket YAMLs for edge-candidate-agent export/validation.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 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/strategy_draft_schema.md` and `scripts/design_strategy_drafts.py`).

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.

Example prompts

  • “/edge-strategy-designer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  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…
  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.

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 Strategy Designer loads about 540 tokens when it runs, and up to ~819 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~540
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~819

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 Strategy Designer

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:

bash
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:

bash
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
