Battle-Tested Skills

Open-source Claude Code skills for the CFA/quant community — a thesis stress-tester and an agentic project scaffold — extracted from patterns proven in production research work.

https://github.com/alanvaa06/battle_tested_skills

Overview

Open-source Claude Code skills built for the CFA/quant community: battle-tested helpers for investment research, thesis stress-testing, and disciplined agentic engineering. Each skill is self-contained — clone it, drop it into a Claude Code skills/ directory, and it is live. The two current entries were extracted from patterns proven in day-to-day production research work.

What it does

  • roast-me — coach-mode Socratic challenger that stress-tests an investment thesis, signal logic, backtest, or config.
  • Runs a required quant-guardrail checklist (lookahead, survivorship, leakage, costs, overfitting) and closes with a written red-flag summary plus prioritized next moves.
  • scaffold — agentic project template: a CLAUDE.md senior-engineer persona plus a docs/ context structure (memory, lessons, todo, session-log, PRD, references) for plan-first, self-improving, verification-driven workflows.
  • One-command installers (install.sh, install.ps1) copy every skill folder — any folder with a SKILL.md — into ~/.claude/skills or a project's .claude/skills.
  • Claude discovers each skill from its SKILL.md and triggers it from the description field (e.g. «roast my thesis» fires roast-me).
  • scaffold ships without a SKILL.md by design — it is a template copied directly into a new project root, not an auto-discovered skill.
