0dte-strategies AGENTS.md

0dte-strategies AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from vilkovgr/0dte-strategies. It costs 2,643 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An onboarding guide for AI coding agents working in a repository about zero-days-to-expiration options, which are options that expire on the day they are traded. It describes the project’s purpose, data model, files, and ways to reproduce the research.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents run the supplied analyses, rebuild data when supported, reproduce tables and figures, and explore or extend the project.
Why use it?
It helps an unfamiliar coding agent understand the repository’s research context and find the right files and workflow before making changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

0dte-strategies AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — AI Agent Onboarding

Context file for AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Claude, etc.) working inside this repository.

Mission

This is the public replication package for the paper "0DTE Trading Rules: Tail Risk, Implementation, and Tactical Timing" (Vilkov, 2026). The repo enables three tiers of engagement:

  1. Instant replication — run analysis scripts against shipped derived data to reproduce every table and figure.
  2. Rebuild from source — use Massive or ThetaData API adapters to reconstruct raw data from scratch.
  3. Explore and extend — use AI-optimized context to understand, critique, or extend the analysis.

Paper Summary (One Paragraph)

The paper studies realized payoffs of S&P 500 zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options and standard multi-leg structures from 09/2016 to 01/2026. A positive 0DTE variance risk premium exists but is small after realistic frictions. Strategy PNL distributions are wide, tail-heavy, and regime-dependent — dominated by directional and skewness realizations rather than stable mean carry. Yet disciplined 10:00 ET conditional rules under a strict out-of-sample protocol deliver economically meaningful net performance for selected strategies (put ratio spreads SR ≈ 1.26, iron butterflies SR ≈ 0.82) and diversified baskets (SR 1.01–1.27). The practical implication: 0DTE is better viewed as a tightly risk-budgeted tactical overlay than a standing carry strategy.

Three-Tier Data Model

Tier 1 (shipped):    data/*.parquet, data/*.csv
                     ↓ analysis scripts read these directly
                     output/tables/*.tex, output/figures/*.pdf

Tier 2 (rebuild):    API key → code/ingest/{massive,thetadata}/
                     → raw snapshots → code/build_data.py
                     → data/*.parquet (same schema as Tier 1)

Tier 3 (explore):    docs/agent-context/* + AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md
                     → LLM understands paper claims, methods, variables

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
