backtesting-frameworks

backtesting-frameworks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benjaminasterA/antigravity-awesome-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (263 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of backtesting-frameworks, MIT.

A guide to building trading-strategy backtests, which simulate how a strategy would have performed using historical market data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build simulations, point-in-time data pipelines, cost models, train/validation/test splits, and walk-forward analysis for strategy research.
Why use it?
It helps produce more realistic results by addressing look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, transaction costs, data quality, and changing market conditions.

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

backtesting-frameworks 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Backtesting Frameworks

Build robust, production-grade backtesting systems that avoid common pitfalls and produce reliable strategy performance estimates.

Use this skill when

  • Developing trading strategy backtests
  • Building backtesting infrastructure
  • Validating strategy performance and robustness
  • Avoiding common backtesting biases
  • Implementing walk-forward analysis

Do not use this skill when

  • You need live trading execution or investment advice
  • Historical data quality is unknown or incomplete
  • The task is only a quick performance summary

Instructions

  • Define hypothesis, universe, timeframe, and evaluation criteria.
  • Build point-in-time data pipelines and realistic cost models.
  • Implement event-driven simulation and execution logic.
  • Use train/validation/test splits and walk-forward testing.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Safety

  • Do not present backtests as guarantees of future performance.
  • Avoid providing financial or investment advice.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
