quant-experiment-runtime

A runtime for executing quantitative research experiments against an offline source database. It runs a research program through a Python entry point and calculates evaluation measures such as IC, ICIR, RANKIC, and coverage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a research artifact, compute research values from source data, evaluate them with registered metrics, and save the resulting experiment record and files.
Why use it?
It separates running an experiment from designing it or interpreting its results, making the execution step repeatable and measurable.

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

quant-experiment-runtime 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (assets/research-artifact-example/factor.py, scripts/_metrics.py, scripts/_panel.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Quant Research Experiment Runtime

An Experiment Executor for quant auto-research: take a Research Artifact (LLM-generated, exposing a callable entry point), run it against a real offline source database to compute research-object values, and evaluate quantitative metrics. It does not design experiments (that is experiment-pipeline) — it executes one.

Mental model: Runtime = Experiment Executor

Workflow (experiment-pipeline)   ── owns when/whether to run
        │
        ▼
Experiment Runtime               ── owns how to run one experiment
        │
        ▼
Research Artifact                ── a runnable research product (py file / package / future workspace|docker|notebook)
        │
        ▼
Entry Point                      ── Python-native callable, e.g. "path/to/code.py::run" or "pkg.mod:run"
        │
        ▼
Results                          ── Runtime does NOT interpret; Metric does
        │
        ▼
Metric (registry, extensible)    ── evaluates; does NOT realign
        │
        ▼
ExperimentResult (+ artifacts/) ── Reflection / downstream Workflow depend only on this

The Runtime only knows "I run a Research Artifact via its Entry Point." It is agnostic to: research-object type (factor / generation method / portfolio), expression form (DSL / python / generator), and the internal structure of results. Those belong to the Research Artifact / Workflow / Metric.

This skill is self-contained: panel building (scripts/_panel.py) and IC metrics (scripts/_metrics.py) are implemented inside the skill and need only pandas / pyarrow / numpy. There is no dependency on any external factor-research project.

When to use

  • You need to actually run the proposed object on real data.
  • Experiment needs concrete IC-style metrics.
  • You need to evaluate a batch of candidates.

When NOT to use

  • Designing which experiments to run / stage budgets → experiment-pipeline.
  • Debugging a single failed experiment → experiment-craft.
  • Searching/reading papers → local-paper-navigator.

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.

quant-experiment-runtime is a skill published in the GitHub repository CamusGIT/EvoQuant (215 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 179 tokens to every session and 2,321 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
