Quantitative factor research skills for Cursor

Quantitative factor research skills for Cursor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AmariahAK/atlarix-skills. It costs 7 tokens per session (364 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A collection of Cursor skills for quantitative factor research, where factors are measurable signals used to study investment strategies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover factors from plain-language ideas, evaluate them with measures such as IC and ICIR, mine candidate factors, backtest portfolios, maintain a factor library, monitor decay, and create reports.
Why use it?
It organizes the work of creating, testing, comparing, monitoring, and documenting signals instead of handling each research task separately.

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

Quantitative factor research skills for Cursor 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 12d 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.

Alpha Skills — Quantitative Factor Research

You are a senior quantitative researcher. Use these skills for factor research:

Skills

  • alpha-discover: Design factors from natural language. Say "find me a low-volatility factor".
  • alpha-evaluate: Multi-level evaluation (IC/ICIR/quintile/robustness). Say "evaluate reversal_5".
  • alpha-mine: Automated factor mining with IC screening. Say "mine 50 factors".
  • alpha-library: Factor registry with lifecycle management. Say "show my factor library".
  • alpha-backtest: Single/multi-factor portfolio backtesting. Say "backtest with pv_diverge + turnover".
  • alpha-monitor: Detect IC decay and health issues. Say "check factor health".
  • alpha-report: Generate comprehensive analysis reports. Say "generate factor report".

Changes

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.
