strategy-pivot-designer
Detect backtest iteration stagnation and generate structurally different strategy pivot proposals when parameter tuning reaches a local optimum.
npx skills add BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills --skill strategy-pivot-designer --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Strategy Pivot Designer ## Overview Detect when a strategy's backtest iteration loop has stalled and propose structurally different strategy architectures. This skill acts as the feedback loop for the Edge pipeline (hint-extractor -> concept-synthesizer -> strategy-designer -> candidate-agent), breaking out of local optima by redesigning the strategy's skeleton rather than tweaking parameters. ## When to Use - Backtest scores have plateaued despite multiple refinement iterations. - A strategy shows signs of overfitting (high in-sample, low robustness). - Transaction costs defeat the strategy's thin edge. - Tail risk or drawdown exceeds acceptable thresholds. - You want to explore fundamentally different strategy architectures for the same market hypothesis. ## Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ - `PyYAML` - Iteration history JSON (accumulated backtest-expert evaluations) - Source strategy draft YAML (from edge-strategy-designer) ## Output - `pivot_drafts/research_only/*.yaml` — strategy_draft compatible YAML proposals - `pivot_drafts/exportable/*.yaml` — export-ready drafts + ticket YAML for candidate-agent - `pivot_report_*.md` — human-readable pivot analysis - `pivot_manifest_*.json`

What does the strategy-pivot-designer skill do?
Detect backtest iteration stagnation and generate structurally different strategy pivot proposals when parameter tuning reaches a local optimum.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills --skill strategy-pivot-designer --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills, a repository with 118 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
