What problem does it solve?
The QRD Skill provides a structured template to capture hypotheses, data requirements, methodology, acceptance criteria, and implementation tasks for quantitative research and development projects, enabling consistent, reproducible QRD documents that guide autonomous agents and human reviewers.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured QRD generation: Produce standardized documents with sections for hypotheses, data needs, methodology, and acceptance criteria.
- Multi-project applicability: Supports alpha signal development, backtesting, risk model design, and portfolio construction specifications.
- Use Case: A researcher drafts a QRD to guide an autonomous agent through a backtesting research workflow.
Quick Start
Run a QRD generation for a momentum-based alpha with a 3-month backtest and a target Sharpe of 1.5.
