What problem does it solve? Quantitative factor research often fragments across disconnected tools for data access, factor computation, and evaluation, leading to duplicated implementations and unverified results. This Skill acts as the factor group's orchestration agent, discovering and reusing the organization's canonical DataAccess, FactorEngine, QuantEvaluator, and FactorAssets components instead of rewriting them. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Capability Discovery and Reuse: Loads session context, queries the Capability Catalog, group Memory, and data contracts before acting, ensuring work builds on published components. - Contract-Verified Factor Proposals: Drafts a FactorSpec, then validates it through published contract-verification capabilities so model-generated output is never treated as verified. - Governed Evaluation and Sharing: Routes evaluation through the canonical QuantEvaluator, checks ComponentCallResult environment, version, and provenance, and only shares results through the approved merge workflow with receipts. - Use Case: A factor group researcher asks the agent to evaluate a new momentum factor; the agent locates the right DataAccess and FactorEngine coverage, runs the canonical QuantEvaluator, and proposes an L2/L3 storage plan awaiting task-level approval. ## Quick Start Ask the factor agent to draft a FactorSpec for your factor idea and evaluate it with the canonical QuantEvaluator using authorized workspace data.
