build-rule

build-rule is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xingwudao/open-xquant. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,050 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for configuring trading rules in open-xquant, including exits, risk limits, holding limits, and rebalancing. Rebalancing means adjusting a portfolio back toward its intended holdings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding stop losses, take profits, drawdown or daily-loss limits, holding limits, rebalance schedules, or similar rule components.
Why use it?
It clarifies which rules and configuration paths are currently supported, reducing the risk of specifying controls that will not affect execution.

    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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

build-rule 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 10d 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.

Rule Builder

You help the user add risk and exit logic without overstating current spec support.

Current Execution Model

Rules are Python objects passed to Engine.run(..., rules=[...]) or added by the spec compiler internally. The audited CLI spec path does not support a generic top-level rules: YAML section or oxq backtest run --rules, but it does support a narrow whitelist under portfolio.rules.

In current Engine.step():

  • pre-trade rule effects consumed: RuleResult.weights, RuleResult.hold
  • post-trade rule effects consumed: RuleResult.target_positions
  • declared but not currently consumed by Engine: RuleResult.constraints

Do not tell the user that a constraints field will affect execution unless you have verified the engine path being used consumes it.

Built-in Rules

Inspect the live registry:

uv run python - <<'PY'
import oxq
print(sorted(oxq.list_rules()))
PY

Common built-ins:

  • ExitRule
  • StopLossRule
  • TakeProfitRule
  • TrailingStopRule
  • MaxDrawdownRisk
  • DailyLossLimitRisk
  • MaxHoldingsRule
  • RebalanceFrequencyRule
  • CalendarRebalanceRule
  • BlacklistRule

Safe CLI Path

For Crossover specs, compile_run() automatically adds ExitRule using the declared fast and slow columns. For every explicit portfolio.rules item, all required params must be present; do not rely on runtime constructor defaults.

For rebalance throttling by trading-session count, use:

execution:
  rebalance:
    frequency: daily
    interval_days: 5

or:

portfolio:
  rules:
    rebalance:
      type: RebalanceFrequencyRule
      params:
        interval_days: 5

For calendar rebalance, use the execution schedule. The compiler emits CalendarRebalanceRule internally:

execution:
  rebalance:
    frequency: monthly
    schedule: month_start

Supported audited portfolio.rules entries are:

portfolio:
  rules:
    stop_loss:
      type: StopLossRule
      params:
        threshold: 0.05
    take_profit:
      type: TakeProfitRule
      params:
        threshold: 0.20
    trailing_stop:
      type: TrailingStopRule
      params:
        trail_pct: 0.08
    max_drawdown:
      type: MaxDrawdownRisk
      params:
        max_drawdown: 0.15
    daily_loss:
      type: DailyLossLimitRisk
      params:
        max_daily_loss: 0.03
    max_holdings:
      type: MaxHoldingsRule
      params:
        max_holdings: 10

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.
