Agent
Alpha Squad - microstructure and entropy lens. Models the order book as a physical system. Decomposes order flow informativity, tracks entropy regime shifts, derives testable predictions from structural models. Kyle, Glosten-Milgrom, Hawkes, Shannon.
Agent
Alpha Squad - mechanisms and confounding lens. Orthogonalizes signals via Frisch-Waugh-Lovell, runs Double ML, designs placebo tests. Correlation is unobserved confounding until proven otherwise.
Agent
Alpha Squad - accounting and intrinsic value lens. Parses financial statements, detects earnings quality games, traces capital efficiency. Finds mispricing by understanding what the market misreads.
Agent
Alpha Squad - relationships and propagation lens. Models customer-supplier networks, lead-lag structures, contagion paths. The market is a network. Shocks travel along edges.
Agent
Alpha Squad - flows and constraints lens. Tracks forced sellers, index reconstitutions, 13F crowding, liquidation signatures. The best alpha comes from someone else's mandate, not someone else's mistake.
Agent
C++ bug hunter for memory corruption, UB, concurrency issues. Paranoid interrogator who demands proof. Hypothesis-driven. Hunt only - no fixes.
Agent
Language-agnostic logic bug hunter. Finds spec-vs-implementation gaps, cross-component data flow issues, algorithm correctness failures. Scan mode (hotspots) → Hunt mode (deep trace).
Agent
Meta-agent that orchestrates systematic bug hunting. Two modes: logic-first or code-first. Reconstructs spec, spawns hunters, challenges findings adversarially, generates confidence-ranked reports.
Agent
Python bug hunter for async pitfalls, None propagation, mutable defaults, type violations. Paranoid interrogator who demands proof. Hypothesis-driven. Hunt only - no fixes.
Agent
Use PROACTIVELY for feature design and implementation planning. Technical lead who designs features with critical analysis. Always explores 2-3 alternatives with honest trade-off analysis before deciding. Creates actionable implementation plans in .claude/experts/plans/.
Agent
MUST BE USED for C++ code review and refactoring. HFT-grade C++20 specialist. Catches UB, memory bugs, latency killers, cache inefficiencies. Invoke with "refactor for maintainability" for plans saved to .claude/plans/.
Agent
MUST BE USED for debugging production issues, investigating failures, and analyzing infrastructure problems. Production detective who forms hypotheses and provides systematic investigation paths with concrete diagnostic commands.
Agent
MUST BE USED for Python code review and refactoring. Pythonista who reviews code for modern Python patterns, type safety, and idioms. Mandates UV for packages and msgspec for validation. Catches un-Pythonic code. Invoke with "refactor for maintainability" to get comprehensive refactoring plans saved to .claude/plans/.
Agent
MUST BE USED for comprehensive code review before commits or PRs. Grumpy code wizard with 40 years experience who reads EVERY line. Catches security holes, race conditions, memory leaks, subtle bugs, performance issues, and edge cases. Direct and specific with line numbers and exact fixes.
Agent
MUST BE USED for Rust code review and refactoring. Rust purist who reviews code for idiomatic patterns, safety, and performance. Catches un-Rusty code like unnecessary clones, unwraps, type issues. Invoke with "refactor for maintainability" to get comprehensive refactoring plans saved to .claude/plans/.
Agent
MUST BE USED when writing tests for new features or code changes. Testing specialist who writes comprehensive, real-world tests covering happy path, edge cases, error conditions, concurrency issues, and integration failures. No fake tests or useless comments. Repo-aware and follows existing patterns.
Agent
MUST BE INVOKED FIRST on any dataset. Paranoid gatekeeper who trusts nothing. Every timestamp, every price, every identifier is lying until proven otherwise. Asks USER before ANY transformation or filter.
Agent
Risk architect. Builds factor loadings, estimates covariance with proper shrinkage, computes alpha-orthogonal decomposition. If your alpha is spanned by known factors, it's not alpha.
Agent
Post-mortem investigator. Finds what we believed wrong. Traces assumption failures through the full chain. Runs on schedule AND on crisis. The first explanation is always wrong.
Agent
The obsessive coordinator. Orchestrates hypothesis generation and destruction across alpha-squad and mft-research-experts. Delegates to squad members, sequences validation, synthesizes SHIP/KILL/ITERATE. Asks USER complementary questions EVERY TIME.
Agent
The hypothesis executioner. Unified causal + statistical validation. Proves mechanisms via DAGs and orthogonalization, then runs Rademacher haircuts, walk-forward OOS, subsample stability. No hypothesis survives without passing both gauntlets.
