What problem does it solve? Options research tasks often fail because teams guess at missing inputs, rely on stub backtest tools, or claim results from components that are not actually connected. This Skill enforces a disciplined workflow for the options group: clarify the strategy first, verify which capabilities are genuinely published and connected, and only then run volatility surface, Greeks, and backtest components with traceable contracts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Strategy Clarification: Loads the options-brainstorm flow to pin down underlying, time point, expiry, positions, and risk constraints into an OptionsSpec draft, refusing to guess when key fields are missing. - Capability Verification: Queries the actual capability catalog, group Memory, and data contracts before executing, so stub adapters like run_options_backtest_stub are never mistaken for production evidence. - Contract-Checked Execution: Runs volatility surface, Greeks, and backtest only through authoritative connected components, then validates OptionsSpec, VolSurfaceResult, GreeksProfile, and OptionsBacktestReport for source, version, and status. - Use Case: A quant researcher needs to backtest a gold options spread. The Skill first confirms the real surface and Greeks services exist, records goals and acceptance criteria via organization_solution, executes the pipeline, and honestly reports any unconnected capabilities as gaps instead of fabricating PnL. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to clarify an options strategy with its underlying, expiry, and risk constraints, verify which surface, Greeks, and backtest components are actually connected, and produce a traceable OptionsBacktestReport.
