What problem does it solve?
After running open-xquant backtests, quantitative researchers and AI coding agents often struggle to synthesize scattered performance metrics, audit findings, and robustness test results to determine if a strategy is truly viable, without manually sifting through dozens of artifact files and applying inconsistent evaluation criteria.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Artifact Review: Follows a standardized 9-step review order to systematically evaluate reproducibility status, research audit fatal findings and warnings, metrics profiles, execution assumptions, robustness results, and out-of-sample performance.
- Conservative Decision Framework: Applies clear, guardrailed decision labels (REJECT, WATCHLIST, PAPER TRADING CANDIDATE) to avoid overstating strategy performance and eliminate biased interpretation of results.
- Use Case: A quant researcher runs a new mean-reversion strategy backtest across 5 years of historical data; using this skill, they can quickly get an evidence-based verdict on whether the strategy passes all audit and robustness checks, without manually parsing metrics, trade logs, and audit reports.
Quick Start
Use the review-performance skill to evaluate the backtest results for run_id 20240520-mean-reversion-v1 and get a clear recommendation on whether the strategy is viable for paper trading.
