create-indicator

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of inconsistent, untested, or improperly registered custom indicators for the open-xquant quantitative research framework, which would otherwise cause unexpected backtest results, broken workflows, or irreproducible research outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standardized Implementation: Enforces consistent naming, pure deterministic computation, and pd.Series output matching all existing open-xquant indicators.
• Test-First Development: Requires hand-calculated test expectations to catch implementation errors before code is written, ensuring indicator accuracy.
• Full Registry Integration: Automatically handles package exports and core registry updates for built-in indicators, eliminating manual file editing errors.
• Use Case: A quant researcher building a custom 20-period volatility indicator can use this Skill to generate a fully tested, properly registered implementation that integrates seamlessly with the open-xquant backtest and audit pipeline.

Quick Start

Use the create-indicator skill to build a new 14-period RSI indicator named 'rsi' that uses the close price column and returns values between 0 and 100.
