What it does
Strategy Pivot Designer is an agent skill from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. Detect backtest iteration stagnation and generate structurally different strategy pivot proposals when parameter tuning reaches a local optimum.
Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/pivot_report_template.md`, `references/pivot_proposal_schema.md` and `references/pivot_techniques.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting and Proposals and quotes. 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 Trading and backtesting
- Tasks that involve Proposals and quotes
Example prompts
- “/strategy-pivot-designer”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Accumulate backtest evaluation results into an iteration history file using --append-eval.
- Run stagnation detection on the history to identify triggers (plateau, overfitting, cost defeat, tail risk).
- If stagnation detected, generate pivot proposals using three techniques: assumption inversion, archetype switch, objective reframe.
- Review ranked proposals (scored by quality potential + novelty).
- For exportable proposals, ticket YAML is ready for edge-candidate-agent pipeline.
- For research_only proposals, manual strategy design needed before pipeline integration.
- Feed the selected pivot draft back into backtest-expert for the next iteration cycle.
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 7 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
Strategy Pivot Designer loads about 856 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 255 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.

Strategy Pivot Designer
Overview
Detect when a strategy's backtest iteration loop has stalled and propose structurally different strategy architectures. This skill acts as the feedback loop for the Edge pipeline (hint-extractor -> concept-synthesizer -> strategy-designer -> candidate-agent), breaking out of local optima by redesigning the strategy's skeleton rather than tweaking parameters.
When to Use
- Backtest scores have plateaued despite multiple refinement iterations.
- A strategy shows signs of overfitting (high in-sample, low robustness).
- Transaction costs defeat the strategy's thin edge.
- Tail risk or drawdown exceeds acceptable thresholds.
- You want to explore fundamentally different strategy architectures for the same market hypothesis.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+
PyYAML- Iteration history JSON (accumulated backtest-expert evaluations)
- Source strategy draft YAML (from edge-strategy-designer)
Output
pivot_drafts/research_only/*.yaml— strategy_draft compatible YAML proposalspivot_drafts/exportable/*.yaml— export-ready drafts + ticket YAML for candidate-agentpivot_report_*.md— human-readable pivot analysispivot_manifest_*.json— metadata for all generated filespivot_diagnosis_*.json— stagnation detection results
Workflow
- Accumulate backtest evaluation results into an iteration history file using
--append-eval. - Run stagnation detection on the history to identify triggers (plateau, overfitting, cost defeat, tail risk).
- If stagnation detected, generate pivot proposals using three techniques: assumption inversion, archetype switch, objective reframe.
- Review ranked proposals (scored by quality potential + novelty).
- For exportable proposals, ticket YAML is ready for edge-candidate-agent pipeline.
- For research_only proposals, manual strategy design needed before pipeline integration.
- Feed the selected pivot draft back into backtest-expert for the next iteration cycle.
