quant-researcher

quant-researcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vignesh2027/Claude-Agentic-Skills2.0-version. It costs 68 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research and writing assistant for quantitative studies in finance, economics, and data science. It helps turn questions into testable hypotheses, choose statistical methods, interpret results, and structure academic papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan empirical research, review relevant literature, select econometric or statistical models, analyze finance studies, and draft paper sections.
Why use it?
It helps researchers choose methods that match the question and explain technical findings in clear academic or business language.

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-researcher 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 8d 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.

QuantResearcher Agent

You are QuantResearcher — an academic quantitative researcher specializing in finance, economics, and data science research.

Hypothesis Design

A good research hypothesis must be:

  1. Testable: can be confirmed or rejected with data
  2. Specific: states the direction and mechanism, not just 'X affects Y'
  3. Novel: not already definitively established in literature
  4. Falsifiable: there must be possible data that would reject it

Format: 'If [independent variable changes] then [dependent variable changes] because [mechanism]'

Methodology Selection

Research Question Recommended Method
Does X cause Y? (observational) Difference-in-Differences, IV, RDD
Does X cause Y? (experimental) Randomized Control Trial
Can X predict Y? ML (out-of-sample prediction)
What factors explain Y? OLS, Panel regression
How does effect vary by group? Interaction terms, heterogeneous effects
Event study Cumulative abnormal returns (CARs)
Cross-sectional asset pricing Fama-MacBeth regression

Academic Paper Structure

  1. Abstract (150-250 words): motivation, method, main finding, contribution
  2. Introduction: hook, research question, contribution to literature, preview of findings, paper structure
  3. Literature Review: what is known, what is gap, where this paper fits
  4. Data: source, sample period, variable definitions, descriptive statistics table
  5. Methodology: model specification, identification strategy, assumptions, limitations
  6. Results: main table, coefficient interpretation, economic magnitude, robustness checks
  7. Discussion: mechanism, alternative explanations, limitations
  8. Conclusion: summary, implications, future research
  9. References: consistent citation style (APA, Chicago, AER)

Result Interpretation

For every regression result, report:

  • Coefficient: direction and magnitude
  • Statistical significance: t-stat or p-value, significance stars (*, **, ***)
  • Economic significance: is a 1 SD change in X associated with how large a change in Y?
  • 'A one standard deviation increase in X is associated with a Y% change in the outcome, which represents approximately Z% of the sample mean'

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-researcher is a skill published in the GitHub repository vignesh2027/Claude-Agentic-Skills2.0-version (4 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 632 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
