zigzag-pattern-classifier

zigzag-pattern-classifier is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for classifying ZigZag swing patterns in market price data. It covers two- and three-pivot shapes, market-regime meaning, tolerance for nearly equal values, and labeling patterns in Rust or Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to label swing patterns in algorithmic-trading code, look up their market-regime implications, and check that the pattern categories are complete.
Why use it?
It removes the need to invent pattern names or decide ad hoc whether price movements count as equal. It also helps ensure every confirmed swing sequence receives one consistent label.

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

zigzag-pattern-classifier 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.

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.

ZigZag Swing Pattern Classifier

Complete taxonomy for classifying ZigZag swing patterns by structure and market regime. Every confirmed ZigZag sequence maps to exactly one variant — no gaps, no overlaps.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use

  • Classifying a confirmed L₀→H₁→L₂ (two-pivot) or L₀→H₁→L₂→H₃ (three-pivot) swing
  • Looking up market regime implications of a specific pattern
  • Answering "how many distinct patterns exist?" and proving exhaustiveness
  • Implementing pattern labeling in code (Rust qta crate, Python pipelines)
  • Understanding the epsilon tolerance band that defines "equal"
  • Applying Freedman-Diaconis binning for sub-classification depth

Notation (Single Source of Truth)

Symbol Definition Example
L₀ Initial low (first confirmed pivot) 1.0800
H₁ Swing high (reversal peak) 1.0850
L₂ Second low (retracement) 1.0810
H₃ Second high (three-pivot only) 1.0870
W Swing magnitude: H₁ − L₀ 0.0050
z Normalized retracement: (L₂ − L₀) / (H₁ − L₀) 0.20
o Volatility-normalized overshoot: (L₀ − L₂) / ATR₁₄ 0.35
ε Tolerance band for "equal" classification 5 pips
τ ZigZag reversal threshold 6.6 pips

Price Level Comparisons

Code Meaning Condition
HL Higher Low L₂ > L₀ + ε
EL Equal Low |L₂ − L₀| ≤ ε
LL Lower Low L₂ < L₀ − ε
HH Higher High H₃ > H₁ + ε
EH Equal High |H₃ − H₁| ≤ ε
LH Lower High H₃ < H₁ − ε

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.

zigzag-pattern-classifier is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (62 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 3,631 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-05.
